Ride Delaware ? Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Just saw on CB's website that their close date has been set for the 13th. The Value Pass no longer has any restrictions as well. I would assume that they will have both the Stevenson and Sullivan until the 6th and then shut down the Stevenson and leave the core 8 open for skiing and riding until the 13th. The drainage at the bottom of the Stevenson is terrible, so even when the coverage is still 100%, you have to wade through knee deep water to get on the lift.
Johnny Law Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Damn, double damn....that's a long fucking season for PA. 3
Ride Delaware ? Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Posted March 19, 2014 Yup that's what I was expecting. Unless blue closes before April 6th I'll gladly not ski camelback this season!!! Most years camelback keeps the Stevenson open through closing. I'm guessing big boulder will make 4:20 day They typically keep it open until the same day when the season is shorter and they won't make it that late. It's a combination of drainage and the beginner hill melting out. It's a wide open plateau that doesn't keep snow well. They won't keep them both open and operating as islands. Why not get one more PA day in? Or are you bringing back the mid April Stowe skifari?
Ride Delaware ? Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Posted March 19, 2014 Damn, double damn....that's a long fucking season for PA.I think CB was open until the 11th or 12th 4 or so years ago as well, but nobody opened in November that year, so this is definitely one of the longest PA seasons in awhile. 1
toast21602 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Impressive. I'll likely be up one day. 1
RidgeRacer Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Cool. Might hit it that last weekend. 1
Ride Delaware ? Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Posted March 19, 2014 It's not one of the longest PA seasons it is the longest PA seasonI'm fairly certain the November 9 opening year at BB has this one beat by a week...
Ride Delaware ? Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Posted March 19, 2014 Were we talking about Big Boulder?We were talking about PA seasons, not CB seasons. 2
Johnny Law Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Were we talking about Big Boulder? I concour, BB doens't count. 3
toast21602 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 I'm feeling farty. Probably from all the shit that you eat. 1

Ride Delaware ? Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Posted March 19, 2014 Ride Deleware says Stevenson won't be open...it must be true. Who knows, I'm still trying to find the fucking bridge... 1
sibhusky Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 That's later than here. Of course, I'm not expecting base damage when I ski the last day here.
Ride Delaware ? Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Posted March 20, 2014 That's later than here. Of course, I'm not expecting base damage when I ski the last day here.I've skied Camelback on April 6th on a warmer spring than this one, and I didn't see any rocks and got no base damage. I'd rather have lift service with a couple obstacles than be done riding in my state.
RootDKJ Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Awesome. See you assholes at CB for annual "this place is so much fucking smaller" day. 5

There's a place south of us that usually stays open another week, but every time I go there I say why did I do this..
RidgeRacer Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 (still cant believe you guys like JF over CB smh) All day long. When I can ski to bottom trees at cb then maybe I'll change my opinion.
skier150 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Posted April 5, 2014 What will likely happen on the 12/13 weekend is that the Sullivan lift and that side of the resort will be closed, and the Stevenson and Glen lifts will serve the other side of the resort. They do this so they can work on getting the water park open, and keep trails open at the same time. It takes a lot of work to change over from Winter to Summer. The good news is that I plan on having the park open for the last weekend with 25-30 features. Camelback will be the only mountain in the region open as most places (if not already closed) will close this weekend (4/5-4/6).
VTSKI Posted April 5, 2014 Report Posted April 5, 2014 "Camelback will be the only mountain in the region open as most places (if not already closed) will close this weekend (4/5-4/6)."

RidgeRacer Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 I think Blue can pull it off. The forecast isn't bad for this week. When's the last time Blue was last to close in PA?
skier150 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 Yeah, of course like 2 hours after I posted that they decided to close early. This weeks weather is a contributing factor, as well as the fact that nobody is coming out... it was dead yesterday and it is dead today. Unfortunately, if you did not come out yesterday, you did not really help the situation ;-) . I am not happy about this either, I spent 18 hours at the end of last week trying to make sure the park was going to last another 2 weekends... but at least we had a long season with some good snow.
