Broken Ski Lift at Camelback on Powder Day 2024

[saltyant]

Did everyone download the Camelback app?? Blue Mountain doesn't have an app. This is radical! The app gives gapers I mean "Pros" some tips on how to navigate around the resort to get from their New York City condos to the perder. I'll be long long gone before they arrive thanks to being a VIP with First Traax.

I punched a French guy and broke my pinkie finger at Camelback.

 

I think I told that story already.

Camelback is teasing some new terrain. Will the real Nile Mile please stand up? Please stand up? We await with baited breath @DiMe

Correct. I've just written off Pharaoh mentally for the last several years, would be nice to ski it again if they put the terrain park junk elsewhere. Sorry to be a terrain park hater Dime, but my skis don't leave the ground like my brother Atomic Skier.

Pharoah and Bactrian are not marked as terrain parks on the online map this year. 

I wonder if Cliffhanger is in play to open? I think that's what you can see from the tubing cam. I know they blew on it this year, and it looks like it has snow on the cam. For sure that can be decieving though

Dude with a shovel doing what looks like prep work at the indoor waterpark lift on the Nile Mile cam. Probably run it tomorrow?

What's even more radical is that Camelback has girls in bikinis any day you want them. You just have to ski to the express on the far end and then walk the long corridor to the surfing area. Best resort in Poconos!

That's what the current Facebook rumour is.

I just look at that on their webcam. It’s radical.

Idk. We can take a poll but I don't think there are any Camelback season passholders on this site. This forum is loyal to Blue true and true. We bleed Blue, Blue and only Blue. Oh say can you see, by the dawn's early light over Blue the True. Kmarts Blue light special got nothing on Blue!!!

@saltyant aren’t you talking to people on the lifts at camelback…I heard alot of them don’t speak English but gotta be some people to chat with to get a vibe of what’s going on.  Have you checked out the cigar lounge, I think they have chocolate milk on draft served in a frosted mug.

No, I just like to listen to music on the lift. Though I found a lot of people to complain to last weekend. One guy said "hey yo" in the lodge once I was changed into my street clothes. I was all like do I know you? He remembered me from the slopes. I was like "was I complaining?". "Yup" "ok that was me" 👍

Why did you change into street clothes?  Do you have a locker at camelback?

I went to the Pocono Outlet stores after Camelback for a pretzel and didn't want to look like a geek walking around in ski gear (though I had my furry hat on).

[saltyant]

@GrilledSteezeSandwich This is grate. Blue has 26 trails open but Camelback has 7. That means Blue is over 3 times better than Camelback. I might start a protest and hold signs and yell at the camel.

In the lodge this morning at Blue, there was a Cameltoe skier there telling is all about the misery going on up there.   He told us that the lodge side of the mountain is all brown and they're having lift issues all over the place.

Guess that's why he was at Blue today.

Pure speculation on my part, but I bet they are having some major issue with the indoor waterpark lift. I can't think of any other reason they wouldn't have had the guns on at all down there. No reason to blow snow if you can't get the skiers up thWebcam.

I did happen to catch a bunch of vehicles (couple pickups and a few UTVs) all parked next to it amd a bunch of people milling around it the other day on the webcam.

Does it go inside the water park?! Nothing would surprise me there.
