I'd be interested to see this new Scarab trail and how much it's just a rebirth of the old cross mountain trail.

In regards to blue

"As a teaser for the 2019/2020 season -- the resort is hard at work on a new intermediate trial that'll offer gorgeous views of the Eastern Valley."

I feel like ive heard this before

I might get a Camelback season pass to check out this new trail.

No I think I’m gonna buy them at blue since they do a free mount if you buy them there.

You're welcome and any time. I have been good. RTMs remain in same position since the last day at Blue. Maybe the edges rusted over the summer and I'll be skiing like a noob.

Post on Camel’s Facebook says top to bottom park is replacing Pharaoh to Bactrian. Not sure if that means eliminating some or all of the parks in the Glen area. No further mention of Scarab. Wonder if it’s just one of the old park runs renamed

The Glen Lift is cool but I prefer the Nick Malozzi lift!!!

Not a fan of new TTB park plan at CB

I’m sure that now that you have a season pass at Blue you won’t be at camel much

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

True, especially as 

1. Not doing PS&R card this year

2. Will be in CO on Xmas

 

Only way I can see hitting CB this year is if they have a longer season in Nov or April. But Blue passes likely only for 1 year while they have 6th grade rate.

I bet your kids love being passholders at Blue so much they’ll chip in for their passes next year.  

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

I am skeptical about how much they will love getting up early enough to beat the crowds at Blue on weekends

They get up early for school. Getting up early for skiing is better. They’ll love the empty early runs.

I wonder where they are putting the terrain park at Camelback? They better not put it on Nile Mile like Shawnee did on their best trail, or I may never buy a Camelback season pass again.

Pharaoh to Bacterian.

Source? I can see Bactrain as a terrain park but not Pharaoh - it's too narrow and steep. The original park lacks high speed lift access so I can see why they did that.

Post by them on their Facebook page. Pharaoh will host a jump line
