I was there for the last 20 min or so and it seemed pretty cool. Hopefully they make it bigger and better for next year.

Its good I am going to Salt Lake City next week to get some skiing/Boarding in before the end of season. The east coast season is on its way out quick.

Just got an e-mail from someone at Camelback-- Night skiing will end on Saturday March 11th. NO SUNDAY NIGHT SKIING. WE WILL BE OPEN FROM 8AM TO 5PM UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Hopefully I can get up there for a few days before the official close.

Plus if you look at the topographical maps. Alpine's slope faces away from Camelback and Shawnee's faces toward Camelback. http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=18&n=455...001&datum=nad83 http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=41.03806&lon=-75.07861 So that pretty much solves it, that it is Shawnee.

http://shawneemt.com/mtninfo/images1/trailmap.jpg http://www.alpinemountain.com/trailmap.htm I was told it was Shawnee and it looks like Shawnee from the trail design.

When I was there the other day, people I know said it was Shawnee. What type of lighting does Alpine use?

You guys can get Sirius satellite radio in the park and play Octane CH20 or Faction CH28 That would be cool, Mountain Creek uses Sirius at their base area.

Yeah that one is fake (LOL--best I can do in -3 min), but you really can see the Catskills from the top of mountain on a clear day. Take a look the next time your up there on a clear day.

This is a crappy photo but you can see the west side of Hunter, NY way out in the distance from Camelback too.

If you look way out you can see Hunter, NY too. Maybe someone with a big lens can get that photo. LOL

You guys should give up on Blue and come back to Camelback. The rangers at CB are not nearly as bad.

I found a beer (Coors Light) that fell out of a kids back pack 2 weeks ago while he strapped up by the Sullivan lift. He must have thought I was going to bust him for under age possession because he took off real quick. LOL

Posted a few photos from today in the photo gallery.

Conditions at Camelback were a major improvement compared to last week. Hats off to the hard working snowmakers that really turned the trails around in a short time. Asp was amazing with great bumps you could really play around and have fun with. The bump run really ads that extra level to Camelback compared to years past. CB snowmaking keep up the good work. Hope for a big dump this weekend with the NorEaster.

I was teaching so I did not get arround the mountain that much. Snow guns were blowing all over the place and its a lot better than last Friday when I went. Still a bunch of trails closed but they are bouncing back with the bad weather we had.

Are you shure ski patrol was not there doing the rescue? No one else is trained to use the lift evacuation equipment. http://shop.cascadetoboggan.com/index.asp?...ATS&Category=33

Proll the Mountain Creek Riding Stables sign.

Those restrooms have been that way for years. Go up to the new ones by ski school. A lot of people don't even realize those exist.

Not on those ones.

Conditions were almost the same as yesterday so I won't start a new conditions report for 02/07/2006 According to the CB website the east side of mountain will be closed again tomorrow. (Wed) They must be blowing the stuff pretty deep over there. Should be really nice later in the week when it finally opens.

Ben can go down Asp with bumps, backwards on the tele skis.

02/07/06 Music Report----Silence was golden in the morning, but by midday disco took over the park again. By night fall something other than disco was playing but it could not be identified.

Hint, they both are but ya did not hear that from me...

The east side of mountain was closed for snowmaking on all those trails. The west side Asp and Hump were closed. From the condo it looks like they turned on a lot more guns tonight. Conditions were better than expected since all the bad weather last week and over the weekend. Loose granular with hard stuff under it. Everything should keep getting better as long as it stays cold and they can keep those snow guns going 24 hrs a day.

Disco is alive and well in the terrain park. 02/06/06
