I remained limited to PA skiing - mostly Little Gap - from 80-87 and didnt get to ski anywhere decent til December 88. Expand So you’re saying there is no decent skiing in Pa? Quote

Expand With just the right fresh snow and a mountain that leaves it ungroomed it can be pretty awesome on occasion. North face of Montage is probably the place I have experienced that most regularly in PA. And it always beats not skiing and is great for learning or teaching kids. But when I hit Taos in Dec 88 it was incomparably better than any of the PA skiing I had been limited to from 80-87 (Little Gap, Doe, Spring, Jack Frost, Big Boulder, Elk, Alpine, Split Rock). In general, if I have the time and $ available to travel a bit further, I will take any of the 4 Catskills Mts over any in PA, except if a snowstorm just hit Poconos and missed Catskills. Does anyone here feel they prefer PA to Catskills skiing other than for proximity reasons? Edited January 3, 2020 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote
RidgeRacer Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 No one is saying Blue is better than X up north or out west. you're the only one doing the compare and contrast bull shit. We're just having fun at our local Hill. Honestly just ski and have a good time. Who gives a shit. 1 4 Quote

Expand Most of us live a half hour to an hour from Blue..some less while the Catskills are 3-3.5 hours away so not apples to apples..unless people have a girlfriend who lives in north jersey doesn’t make sense to ski the Catskills much. If not for the thousands of NYers the Catskills are good. Quote

Thats why I moatly skied Little Gap while based in Philly (through Spring 88). Did it plenty again last season when I got a great deal on it, and enjoyed it. Quote

Expand No shit, really? Taos better than PA? Thats the fucking dumbest statement i have heard in a long time. Taos on an inch of snow with snowblades, and rocks in your boots would be better than PA. I'm not sure that you just dont get that we all understand Blue isnt just like a western resort. But its location is why we ski it. A day to the Catskills, well, i guess if its gonna be epic, but its a pretty decent drive for most, and if im gonna gas up the truck to go ski, might as well bypass Hunter, Platty, etc, and head a little further to Northern VT. But at the same point, maybe before gassing up the truck, maybe just jump on a plane and head out west, where you will get the best skiing. Do i think Platty might be a good time? Sure, but is the drive gonna be worth it, when Blue is so close? We get that you are thrilled with your Epic Pass, and will ski no where else that you would have to pay for a pass. 2 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 I am planning to pay to try Big Snow with the girls one day in 2020. I'm really not trying to convince anyone to stop skiing Blue. Just reporting on my own ski trips, and commenting on other threads. Epic Local pass was an awesome deal and seems likely I will have my best ski year ever, as will my girls. Quote
