allow bears parent company to develop the area into a lakeside resort or something, move lifts and snowmaking to another local. the place just cant win with weather ever.

has this ever happened in PA at any other mountain? i think its kind of odd that camelback closes their lifts in snow/wind/rain/sun/bluebird so that doesnt happen, yet it happens there and basically no where else.

spring mountain and bear creek both have better conditions than blue. my local landfill had better conditions than blue during the ice storm a few years back. ill still probobly end up going to check out that new trail. and ive heard decent things about sidewinder

it takes me 8 hours to get to plymouth nh, which is basically the hub for loon, waterville, and cannon. stowe is about 7 hours, killington about 6, and mt snow around 4 and a half. whiteface is really affordable and there are good deals on lodging in the town of lake placid with a free shuttle to the mountain. id reccomend. takes about 6 hours to get there. ive slept in my car at killington and had no problem, just dress appropriately.

sickkkk. cant wait to get out there in march

wow. those jumps look better then anything they had all last season. and they look pretty big for their first jumps as well.

i got there at like seven. it was pretty cold. guns blowing made it hard to see, but there is a shit ton of snow already laid down. the thermometer in my car said it was 17 when i left. dayum.

if anyone needs a ride up from philly area/anywhre along 476, im heading up around 4pm saturday

i got 2 inches in sj, pretty weird. i think my area got more snow today then the last 2 winters combined

shawnee is good.

if they open this weekend, i might drive past boulder if they have early season rates.

ill be there saturday late in the day. coming up from cape may

i must get lucky. every time i go, the place is next to deserted, the snow is soft, and the features are well shaped. i usually go on weekdays so thats probobly why. the south lodge is awesome, the lifts are fast, the cabriolet is a bit awkward but i dont mind it one bit. the trails are long as well, and some are pretty interesting. theres one part of the mountain that gets flat on south peak, and they have a pretty cool park area in there. i would say go midweek once and check it out. the soujourn lift is the perfect one to light up on or get some (didnt open last season though)

nitros are awesome boards. the only cons i ever saw in the three ive had was that the top sheet chips really really easily.

not even going to lie. i broke my wrist on that small box last season. fun times.

can we skip to tip 69

get a bunch of people out your way to sign up and start posting. i personally would love to see edits and photos from springs and whatnot, ive always been interested in getting out there.

i have an 07 stairmaster, never riddin, 152 if your interested. its too small for me.

i feel having it off of a carpet is much better than where it was. separation of parks/trails is a good thing.

DOUG! skeeter valentine

haha thats pretty sweet that sir ryan neptune himself said that. i hope this years good, im going to be visiting family in dunmore so i should be getting up there for the first time in a while. from what ive heard from people, neptune gone will only make the parks better.

yeah creek has one, but there was once an actual lodge there. in true jersey fashion it was torched. the bubble was supposed to be temporary..haha yeah. the new trail might not be fully done, but there are ALOT of snowguns on what is completed. and ive been in worse lodges then the bottom lodge, its not all that bad.

even if both stages are closed, they have a new HSQ up to the top of sky peak.

im sure many of you have seen the fire on the news in the pines. my neighborhood was filled with smoke all day, and its been really hard to breath/see. just pretty amazing that the smoke made it all the way to the Delaware basically considering im only a mile from it. i drove to the area to take a look tonight, it was pretty eerie driving through a burnt out smoldering forest at night, kinda like a movie. did anyone in philly get any smoke today?
