toast21602 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 the way i look at that its 1 pass to JF or BB. But i guess it could be 2. If its 1, i still dont see it as a great deal. I think it’s only one at jfbb. That’s why I didn’t jump on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 What's wrong with MC Nothing if you like park, they converted half of it to park and it's a lot bigger than Boulder, so for that it is the estimate place in the srea. It's probably the most crowded place to ski in the are because it is 45 minutes from the GWB There is only one steep trail there, and it is on the middle mountain who's is the one open the least often. On the main non park Mtn the only TTB lift is the "worst of both worlds" Cabriolet. You have to take your skis off to ride, you stand the whole way and it's not enclosed. It's so annoying that what I live 40 minutes away, I often would go to the much smaller Hidden Valley (no longer open to the public but it is used for seasonal ski racing clinics for kids) half a mile away in preference to MC. Have not been back once since I moved further away. WNEP not a bad deal since my kids like Shawnee still. If I can't get enough PS&R cards I may consider if they are still available at that point. Woukd like to go back to WF especially as I have a friend up there now. Quote

eaf Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 Shawnee is great. Let's have a PASR week-day there this year. The converted Delaware to a park! The one trail that had nice curves and snow, not overcrowded, and fun to ride, is now gone! And the Bushkill trail where the park used to be, and which they now proclaim to be "great for top to bottom carving and cruising" is served by a single slow double chair lift! Quote

RidgeRacer Posted October 29, 2017 Author Report Posted October 29, 2017 Actually the Shawnee locals are gonna be pissed about the Delaware run. That's like their version of sidewinder. Although nothing like sidewinder. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 Does Shawnee have anything good like razors or switchback. I never went cause it's 700 vert Quote

RidgeRacer Posted October 29, 2017 Author Report Posted October 29, 2017 Does Shawnee have anything good like razors or switchback. I never went cause it's 700 vert No. Nothing like those two. Nothing like main street, NMDW, Burma or Paradise either. There's some pitch toward the bottom for a few turns (thunder cloud, Tecumseh etc) but it's short lived. Delaware and lower Pennsylvania trails are like mini Paradises. Tomahawk and Arrowhead top to bottom are probably the best runs. If you like winding turny shit, you won't find much of it at Jawnee. Blues trails are more uniquely cut IMO. Funny cause an Olympic skier (Jean Claude Killy) designed the trail layout at Jawnee. Honestly it's perfect for beginners and people who want to get into the sport. Nothing wrong with that either. If I were running a group of newbies I'd probably go to Shawnee over Blue in a heartbeat for that reason. For idiots like us it's a different story. 2 Quote

trackbiker Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 WNEP card is out. I'm tempted to grab one Whiteface Mountain – Lake Placid, NY Ski Big Bear – Pennsylvania Jack Frost / Big Boulder – Pennsylvania Mountain Creek – New Jersey Shawnee Mountain – Pennsylvania Ski Sawmill – Pennsylvania Swain Mountain – New York I bought one. Mainly because Whiteface is included (used to be Gore). Whiteface tickets alone are $94 walkup. I'll likely use it at Jack Frost, Shawnee, and Big Bear as well. Less than $25/ticket. They used to include two JF/BB tickets that you could use at either. Now I think it is only one ticket you can use at either. 1 Quote
SallyCat Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 Just fyi, Liftopia has some screaming deals right now if you know your travel dates. I picked up a Saturday ticket to Plattekill for $26. 1 Quote
