eaf Posted February 9, 2018 Report Posted February 9, 2018 Decided to give the new Monsters 83 a try today morning. Didn't have high expectations for snow, since last Sunday it was such a downpour in NJ, and it rained on Wednesday too, but hey, what do ya know, it still feels like winter in Pocono with all the white stuff everywhere, not just on the trails. It even started to snow lightly around noon. There was full blown racing event going on, but other than that I've never seen the place this empty. Best runs for me today were Lazy and Main Street, though Lazy started getting occasional ice spots later during the day, and lower part of Main Street felt harder than the softer and better groomed upper one. Sidewinder was fast and frozen. Paradise was sweet an unpatrolled. Very happy with the Monsters. Definitely built for speed and are encouraging to ski fast. So steady and supportive, they skip over occasional ice spots like they aren't there. I had my slaloms in the trunk for backup, but never wanted to get them. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 9, 2018 Report Posted February 9, 2018 Nice report and it snowed 4" Sunday at Blue and 4" Wednesday. Quote
JFskiDan Posted February 9, 2018 Report Posted February 9, 2018 Skied from 8:30 to about 10:30. Upper main was on point early, lower main, same old interesting surface. Nightmare was awesome, dreamweaver is just fucked. Mow that shit down. I went there knowing sort of what to expect, but the light was so flat i had to realy slow to check to see what stupid suprise was awaiting me next. Challange is to narrow for bumps. So pretty much echo what jeff said in last nights TR. looks like they blew on sidewinder last night a little so that was pretty firm with marbles. The snow was really nice right around the base of the 6. Quote
eaf Posted February 9, 2018 Author Report Posted February 9, 2018 Oh, so those turns on Dreamweaver are new? I thought I just wasn't on BM for too long. Got there once, never tried again. Btw, I had to straighten out some things with my ticket and while doing so asked about the price of next season pass. They just laughed and told me that they don't know it themselves. Damn. Quote

They already have the sale announcement on the website, could've as well listed the price. But OK, let's see if CB does it sooner. Quote

They've never announced a price this early...I hope it's like $549 last years $449 was way too cheap. They left money on the table. Edited February 9, 2018 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote

I wanna see it high to see the people on blues FB page bitch about the price. Whether it's $449 or $499 or $549 is irrelevant to me. I'll be getting a blue pass regardless. Will be a few more years of saving money before I can spend a whole winter in the Rockies. 1 Quote
JFskiDan Posted February 9, 2018 Report Posted February 9, 2018 I hope Camelback throws an unlimited pass out for $300. Quote

I don't know, $300 for an unlimited Camelback season pass would probably be too good of a bargain to pass up. Toast and JF Dan will probably start a petition.

Shadows Posted February 9, 2018 Report Posted February 9, 2018 That was brought up today... the pass is 300$ cause they wouldnt sell any if it were higher. Not worth it 1 Quote

Shadows Posted February 10, 2018 Report Posted February 10, 2018 Oh idk someone said they paid like 250 offpeak or something Quote

That's what I had last year before they unveiled the new Hero Pass, so then I upgraded to that. Quote

Would ideally suit my skiing. Unlimited March skiing, plus anytime unlimited weekdays and weekend nights. Perfect. Quote
