i was there last weekend and its in good shape. but i wont be there when you are, its my spring break i will be home. here is a little info... http://www.paskiandride.com/forums/index.p...c=13270&hl= -
no doubt boulder is good, and no one comes close with jumps. but the atmosphere there just cantains a few too many cocky assholes for my likeing. and i enjoy blue but i usually am content a few days a year there, however im really looking forward to checking out their park this year. but like they say there is no place like home, and being away from them all at college makes me realize i would take a day at bear over any of them, not a doubt in my mind.

being out in western pa for school ive gotten to ride a few different places from the normal pocono resorts, none of these get much love on the board but there always seems to be a few people asking about them so i figured i'd throw out my take on a few of them 7 Springs: Not really big, but by no means small. about 3/4 the size of camelback. the layout of the mountain is kind of strange, with 2 high speeds on the perimeters and all slow lifts in the middle. trails run on both sides of the mountain, with some of the steeper stuff being on the back side. there are a few cool glades and some small cliffs to mess around on. The snow and grooming was on par and the top of the mountain gets really cold as its completely exposed and wind swept. the parks are nicely set up and well maintained, although nothing phenomenal, and maybe a little over-hyped, they are fun. big park isnt open yet, so im not going to judge it yet. Pretty expensive and a big time tourist attraction. Just a warning, the place is a zoo on weekends. I have never witnessed more out of control skiers, and steelers fans. yuck. Hidden Valley: very reasonable prices. $20 weekdays anytime. Size falls in between spring mountain and bear creek. runs are short, nothing steep. snow is good and grooming is good. im not sure but they might groom twice during the day, there is fresh cord even at night. parks are pretty lame, but atleast they make an attempt, think Blue mountain-esque from about 2 years ago. no high speed lifts but the lifts are fast. and its the only place i have seen where you load onto a conveyor belt and your moving when the lift picks you up. Doesnt get really crowded, a nice beginner family ski area. Peek n Peek: Just above erie, considered in New York. might as well be in Pennsylvania its less than 10 min from the border. not very tall, but the mountain is wide enough that it feels bigger. the best thing about this place is that it gets POUNDED with lake effect snow. it always seems to be snowing there. majority of the trails are short and not very steep. they have 3 parks and really make an attempt to put out a legit product, just doesnt always come through. however the parks are fun and are full of features. the largest jumps are only 30ish feet but its fun. the woods are always snow covered but there isnt much space to ride in the trees. a few little cliffs in the woods. its a good value, the people there are extremely friendly, and $25 college nights sunday through thursday make it a fun place to ride. Holiday Valley: The absolute best in the area. Best terrain hands down. Snow and grooming are top notch and it recieves a lot of lake effect snow. the vert is only 750-800 feet but its really wide and has 50+ trails. Holiday Valley feels massive compared to anywhere else in the area or the poconos (never been to elk), and feels closest to a vermont ski area. There are tree runs between every trail and plenty of marked and unmarked glades. Trees are perfectly spaced apart and the snow stays good all day, you can take them top to bottom no problem. Have some steep runs and one run known as the wall, which is probably the steepest ive ever been on, including vermont. too steep to groom and open to the wind and ice, but with some snow it could be a winner. there are a bunch of lifts and a few high speeds. i found myself taking trails to lifts/places on the mountain i didnt know existed. Holiday Valley has 3 or 4 parks. the biggest park featured all kinds of rails, including urbans ( ) and 2 jumps. largest being about 35 feet. There are multiple lodges and very nice facilities. not a cheap trip by any means but definetly worth it, the place is in a class of its own for the area. The only picture i remembered to take, some mellow glades at Holiday Valley. one of the most worn down spots but you can see a long run full of nicely spaced trees and little shit shrubbery. Cell phone quality. sorry for the spelling errors and run on sentences its getting late and i have 8 am classes tomorrow. i'll try to keep it updated and you can expect to hear updates on 7 springs big park and pipe, and i'll most likely add snowshoe, wv to the list and possibly blue knob. i'll try to remember to take my camera the next times. peace
