saltyant Posted December 22, 2017 Report Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Very exciting news!!! Camelback just released the infographic below on their Facebook page so we all know which trails are open today, and which trails will be open today and tomorrow. Anyone notice a problem? Sullivan Trail, a real black diamond, is open, but unfortunately none of the connecting trails are. Upon an inquiry to this perplexing problem from a random user, here is how Camelback management responded: Does anyone know how I am supposed to ski the only black diamond trail open this weekend? I've already done extensive analysis, and determined that I can't cut over from King Tut/Meadows to John Bailey because that black diamond is closed. I also don't think the connection between Big Pocono and Uncle Bill's Way is open and groomed, and it looks like it might even be an uphill segment based on the trail map. Maybe they made some snow in the glades between Marjie's and Rocket and just forgot to highlight the trail purple? Can any of you Camelback trail experts solve this dilemma?

saltyant Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Here's another post. The trails they mentioned certainly aren't any of my favorites. There are 7 blacks and 1 double black and none of them are mentioned. Edited December 22, 2017 by saltyant

saltyant Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Posted December 22, 2017 Here's further analysis which concludes that Marjie's is not open. I hand-counted the trails and compared the final count to their Facebook post 4 hours ago.
