2023/2024 Season at The Camel!

[DiMe]

It appears The Camel will be opening with mostly its famous and technical mad horizontal trails.  Marjies looks ready also.  Doesnt look like much of anything Hotel side.

I don't think Joe Cool is allowed at Camelback anymore since they banned all fun activities like smoking, and parking next to the snow for free.

I’ve actually been watching a lot of documentaries recently about ancient Egypt. I find myself fascinated by the new kingdom, namely the reign of Ramses II. Tutankhamun (his actual name…camelback should update the trail name to be historically accurate) believe it or not, wasn’t a very popular Pharaoh…as in he didn’t do much. His reign was short and likely tumultuous as he took the throne at the age of 9 and passed at 19. It wasn’t until just over 100 years ago when Howard Carter and his team discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun, literally untouched, that propelled Tut into what we know of him today. That discovery was huge because it’s the only tomb of of a pharaoh found that wasn’t looted by grave robbers. When they found Tutankhamun not only was his mummy intact (and viewable today by visitors) it was covered in multiple golden coffins and the tomb was filled with over 5000 artifacts….including things like the sandals he wore, his thrones, gold everywhere, beautiful works of art etc. literally thousands of years old. Incredible. The thing is Tutankhamuns tomb however is tiny compared to the other pharaohs of that time…which may mean that he passed suddenly. To this day they can and do still x ray his mummy to look for bone fractures etc.

Ancient Egypt is cool. The ONLY thing camelback has that’s better than blue are it’s trail names.

Egypt intrigues me as well. I'd like to get over there at some point sooner than later.

Bucket list for me...no doubt. Wait till the national museum opens at Giza though. That shits gonna be incredible. All of tut's treasures are being moved there. Plus lots of other cool stuff. The museum was built in the shadow of the pyramids. Supposedly has an atrium area with an incredible view of them. I'd like to start from Cairo to Giza to Luxor to see the valley of the Kings.

Stupid name. CB should correct that. The Romans were enemies of Egypt at the time. Although Cleopatra did have a child with Caeser and Mark Antony...but that's was a thousand plus years after Tut, Ramses etc.

@enjoralas @pops we are allowed to park in "Lot 8" with the season pass!!! This is so radical, I love Camelback now!!

Sort of like a monoski looks radical.  Off to camelback Facebook page to see what they gave away
