TT C6 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 http://www.snowboard-revolution.com/news/2...r-Schedule.html I met Sno's park manager at the Buckman's Rail Jam yesterday and he convinced me to check out Sno for the Chevy Revolution Tour this weekend. I have a season's pass at Big Boulder and I never really go anywhere else other than BB and Vermont, but I thought the competition was a good reason to check out Sno. I've never been to Sno, so I'd appreciate any advice on lodging, restaurants, nightlife, etc. I don't know what the event schedule is yet, but I'd like to find out what's going on up there this weekend. I hope to meet some PASR's while in town. Quote

BCBSNOBBSkier Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 The Hampton Inn at Montagge is the best hotel Quote

g15 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 the restaurants at the bottom of the mtn are Longhorn steakhouse (Really REALLY Good!) and kildare's irish pub. both get really crowded so go early or late...but Longhorn is really good! Quote
n0xidee Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 There is also a great italian restaurant, Trattoria Bella or Bella Trattoria i forget which it is. I ate there last weekend. Food was great, service was slow though. Quote
xNick11 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 I live in the area, there are a lot of hotels at the base of the mountain. There is a lot to do around Sno to with not to far of a drive. Scranton is only 10 minutes from Sno if you jump on the highway. The Hampton inn is a great hotel, and what kind of food are you looking for? Quote
Ski Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Yeah, if you're over 21, there are plenty of choices of clubs in Scranton, including Tink's, which has four floors with different kinds of music on each. If you're over 41, there's even a disco-type club called Flashback. And Scranton is the bowling capitol of the planet. Quote
TT C6 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Im guessing you met mike? Yep. Seemed like a cool guy. what kind of food are you looking for? Close to the mountain and good food for the money is what I usually look for. My favorite food is mexican and asian. If you are ever in the Philadelphia area, some of the restaurants I recommend are Fogo de Chao, Capital Grill, Buddakan, Amada, PF Changs, Tequila's, and the Mexican Food Factory.

Also there is La Tolteca in w-b down by the arena on mundy street. At the base of the access rd there is a Visitors information center, I think you can go in there and get alot of the info you are looking for. Edited February 25, 2008 by ski HEAD Quote

I actually have been to Fresno's before, but I can't remember if it was good or not. It's across the street from a movie theater parking lot which looks down over a valley...right? Quote
clashboy Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 fresnos=death to the stomach IMO. i hate that place Quote

Scranton does have a bunch of good bars. Quote
ski HEAD Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Are the dates accurate??? 2.22-24th is in the past...lol The tour is this weekend feb 29 march 1-2. I heard there are people calling from europe to come a compete in this event. It maybe the biggest event on the east coast right here at little old Sno Mountain....... Who would have thunk it Quote
TT C6 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) I think Tinks is closed. I may be wrong tho. But other than that.. Scranton does have a bunch of good bars. OK then. If you got so many good bars up there, let me know when the "tour" begins. I need some "tour guides" if I come up this weekend. Edited February 26, 2008 by TT C6 Quote
ski HEAD Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 That's so so sick...What's the purse??? 10K for the entire event Quote

dwy33 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 the purse is $10,000 spread out over six stops. It equates to not alot of money for the winners per stop but the actual prize is that the top 15 riders of the tour are invited to the grand prix events next year. This tour is a must for any amatuer trying to take the next step. This tour's registration filled up within 45 minutes of opening registration in November. It's a ussa and fis sanctioned event. Quote
ski HEAD Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 I thought it would be more..like the ones on TV..does the winner get a car??? It just says 10k. I know there are different divisions, events, and overall 1-2-3 male and female. I think the big part is that it is an oylmpic qualifier, if you place in one of the tour's events it qualifys you for the USA oylmpic events. I know it is run by USSA which governs all US ski and snowboard events. Quote
TT C6 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Posted February 26, 2008 So, how about a park report ??? Specifically, I'd like to get all the details on the jumps that Sno currently has. (tabletops, step down/up, lips, landings, size, etc) I'd really appreciate some impartial reports because I'm hearing a lot of negative about the parks, specifically the jumps. Thanks. Quote
Dan- Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 The tour is this weekend feb 29 march 1-2. I heard there are people calling from europe to come a compete in this event. It maybe the biggest event on the east coast right here at little old Sno Mountain....... Who would have thunk it Uhh.. Wrong. Us Open.. In VT Quote
Brian Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Brian can take care of that duty LOL.. I have to wait till tomorrow to get the Weekender. Quote
