TR 2/2

[SallyCat]

This was my first evening with the school ski club and the ride up was a bit spicy because the elderly 9-passenger vans we have to drive kept getting buffeted by strong wind gusts.  With about three inches of play in the steering column, I'm glad we managed to stay in our own lane.

On the mountain, though, there was hardly any wind and it was really comfortable if you were bundled up properly.

The snow was non-awesome but far from the worst I've seen.  Lots of granular over ice patches, but some nice stretches of decent snow as well.  Pharaoh into Bactrian was the run of the evening; according to a ski patroller, it opened late today (2pm) so hadn't seen the scrapey-offy traffic that the other trails had. Rhodo-Glen and Pocono Raceway were outstanding as well. Nile Mile was underwhelming--too much ice to be really fun.

Liftlines were never more than three or four chairs deep. The lodge was crowded with school kids, but not uncomfortably so. Just lots of Middle School energy all over the place. 

I stopped skiing around 7-ish I think, so a solid two hours.  The kids were fading from the cold and the ice and wanted to leave early, so I drove half the group home.

Awesome. I didn't know you ski Camelback. We really need to do a PASR Camelback day since so many PASR posters ski there. So far I think we can get you, SallyCat, Ski2Live, eaf, and Enjorales. I think TP4 might be interested also because he mentioned to me that he likes Camelback.

Great! I nominate myself as the official 2017-2018 PASR day at Camelback Mountain. Later in February or in March, I will post one random Sunday as PASR Camelback day. I predict we will have at least 50 attendees.

That would be about 38 more people than regular posters on this site.

OMG I'm laughing so hard..Barb with the quick math lol

They give our club 15 free passes for us to use any time, and they don't generally get used up by our staff so if it's March, I may have passes to share.
