I'm a lot more stoked for this season than in the past few seasons. I have a few trips planned, but my first out west (Jackson Hole). I'm going with my douchey brother-in-law, but I couldn't care if I went with Hitler and Idi Amin.

 

I'll be at Blue again this season. I'm more of a freerider, so I really like the vert and longer runs. The BS session while waiting for first chair is always cool, along with sharing chairs with other PASR's. Can't wait to see everyone.

"Jack Frost Mountain staff under the direction of Mark Daubert have been busy clearing out more glades, adding tower guns, replacing snowmaking pipe, and "elevator" work. Here are some teasers of what has been going on this summer.

 

Riders this coming winter will be treated to glade expansions on Challenge and Jane's Lane. The glade on skier's right of Challenge has been extended to the East Mountain Lift. Jane's Lane has new glades also on skier's right that go to D Lift. The crews have been busy installing 18 30' tower guns on various slopes including Thunderbolt and Exhibition!"

 

 

This is all good news. The challenge glade sounds like it will be sweet although it already skied down to the lift, just had some rocks and logs to look out for. Jane's glade sounds like it'll be fun too and can't wait for the Elevator."

 

good stuff right there.

 

and another - "Some folks can be happy skiing around alone all day at a hill in PA. I would go nuts. I need some type of 'crew' to ride with, goof off with, ride lifts with, etc..."

 

pretty much sums it up right there....not really where you ski, but who you are skiing with. everyone has thier "home" mountain which they ski at for some good reason or another.

 

the JF crew might be a small group, buts its a good group. good times for the short time i have known them.

Jack Frost - only Mt. in the area that allows and encourages tree skiing, some steep terrain, good snow most of the time, going fast and carving turns on Thunderbolt and Challenge, good folks to ski with, get to take a run before riding a lift, nice views.

 

Elk Mt. - decent vert and sustained pitches on trails like Iroquois, and Mohawk, dedicated Bump Run, lots of great skiers there, great snow most of the time

 

Sno Mt - The North Face, White Lightning.

 

Blue Mt. - good lifts, razors, challenge and sidewinder are as fun as it gets in this part of ski country

 

Camelback - good lift system, free tickets to other Mt pass holders, stays open late, Pharaoh and Cliffhanger

 

Big Boulder - opens early and closes late

 

Whiteface - my new favorite Mt. - ridiculous vertical, steeps, Lake Placid

I love bear creek because it is my home mountain. Boulder has a fun park and camel back is improving a LOT. props to them. I almost beat Pokemon blue version for game boy color for the 6th time so thats pretty epic also. The positive side of starting school on Monday is I'm in ninth grade now, and I get to see everyone again.
