I want to tour suburban Philly a little while remaining under the Class B 😬 Did you fly over Bear Creek ? I did a drive by last night, lights were on but no snowmaking .

Is the extra hour worth 80 dollars to you? I would think so but I like driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intended to but just couldn't find it. I saw a puff of smoke and flew towards it, but it wasn't Bear Creek. I assumed they have been making snow and that it would be super easy to spot, as I used to see it all the time when practicing around the Kutztown area. So I guess they aren't making any snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are some great places for a later lunch in the catskills, so we'll probably do that.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 I would figure drive to Catskills probably costs an extra $40 in gas/tolls in addition to taking an extra 2 hrs and putting more miles on car. if I was going solo it would only be worth it if I felt it would be a better ski experience. Would feel otherwise if bringing kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one day I will fly over at 8:03 or whenever you guys get to the top and can film you skiing down Challenge. Blue can ban drones but they can't ban aeroplanes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
