zaldon Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 well i was a cb today and noticed a large amount of snow on marjies will it finaly open??? ill be their tommorow 12:30-3:00
OutCold Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Give us some good news Craig!!! I know you dont care too much about the competition, but Blue is farther South than you, and they are opening 6 more trails tomorrow... Unfortunately, the slow rate of snowmaking and trail openings at Camelback may force me to Blue next year
AtomicSkier Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 It's because Blue has a more powerful snowmaking system than Camelback.. i was hoping you wouldn't see this thread
AtomicSkier Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Why, is Craig paying you guys off to not talk skeet about Camelback? No, but your constant bragging about Blue in other forums is getting old. We all know Blue is better, but we don't have to rub it in their faces.
AtomicSkier Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Jeff, no diss but weren't you PASRs #1 Blue mountain whore before I joined PASR... Doesn't mean I'm still not, but I just praise Blue Mountain, the true mountain, in the correct forum.
Schif Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Totally right, you would think Doug was on Blue's payroll for the amount of plugs he's giving the boot. No one else brags that much about their mountains. (even when they are 10 times better than your boy blue)
mtnbiker99x Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I was not there today so I can't say for sure but my guess would be that they are probably recovering and blowing the snow pretty deep so there is no chance of it getting thin if we run into weather again. Then they will expand to the east side and open additional stuff. That's just my guess. On the CB/Blue war, I like CB's set up a lot better than Blue. I do like 1 or 2 of Blue's trails but the rest are all the same PA trails. But all this Blue/CB crap has been debated to death. If you like Blue go to Blue, if you like BC go to BC, and if you like CB go to CB, its easy as that. I just accept PA mountains as they are and if I want a better ride I head north to NY or VT or out west and avoid PA.
Glenn Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Looks like marjies could open tomorrow if they groomed it out. They could easily blow on rocket tomorrow and get it opened by the weekend.
Ashleigh S Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Good news guys- Marjie's Delight will open tomorrow, Friday Jan. 19! We are still making tons of snow, now that the cold temps have finally arrived. We are open today with 13 trails and 5 lifts. We are making snow today and tonight on Sunbowl, Upper Moores, Near East, Raceway, Little Caesars, Rocket, Sullivan's Trail, Laurel Glade, Base Area, Top of the mountain and the Tubing hill.

More and more trails opening ! IT wont be long now before the mountain is 100% !
jdew Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 We should get the Rocket by Sunday. 6+ different ways down from the top, including 2 blacks. How sweet would that be.
Ski Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Doesn't mean I'm still not, but I just praise Blue Mountain, the true mountain, in the correct forum. Yeah, where both you guys can post about your now inferior SNOmaking.
zaldon Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) well cb didnt open marjies today but they were blowing on rocket anyone else going to be at cb friday morning till around noon? Edited January 18, 2007 by zaldon
Metz the Jersey boy Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Jeff, no diss but weren't you PASRs #1 Blue mountain whore before I joined PASR... Doug, from what I've heard he was, but because of you plugging Blue, much like bellbottoms, is now old, out of style, and destined to not return for 30 years. Or so we hope.
SkiCamelback Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 I skied Marjie's today. It was OK, firm and hardpack, with a little loose granular (I'd call it "Variable Conditions"). With that said -- I think by Saturday it will be primo!! It needs to get groomed over a few times. Lower Cleo, Home Again, Honeymoon and the Meadow's were great -- Packed pow all the way. Temps are staying cold and the snowmaking crews have been going strong for nealy 72 hours. With the forecast for the weekend and next week -- it won't be long for more and more to get opened.
ColoradoHigh Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 How about Raceway? Have any pics of that with snow on it?
ski911 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Marjies will be better Saturday. After the second and third groomings the snow dries out a bit more and skis much better. Remember, they are making "base" snow to start with so it will last a while. Once everything is open they will start conditioning things with dryer stuff. Actually, it sounded like they were going to through some better stuff on King Tut tonight.
zaldon Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Posted January 20, 2007 i thought that marjies was groomed terrible on friday. at the turn the trail slanted into the trees and on the "head wall" their were realy annoying bumps.. bad opening day for marjies
cameltoe Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Yeah ..... should have groomed it out better...not a good opening
Papasteeze Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 All the CB trails Sucked by 11AM - every last one of them. ok, well one of them was ok but it was a boooooorrrrrrrrring green trail
Tom Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 Papa, What? I'm confused. You back skiing CB? I thoght you said you wouldn't ski it again?
Glenn Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 Marjies was much better today. The way the trail was initially groomed at the turn is a bit suspect, but I thought the snow was worlds better than opening night.
cameltoe Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 Glad to hear that it's better now. I'll have to come and try it soon. Papa, when will you be there next?
Papasteeze Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Papa, What? I'm confused. You back skiing CB? I thoght you said you wouldn't ski it again? nope... never said I wouldn't ski it again, I have passes, plus with out of town guests.... it is much more convienent to dump them at CB. Just so there is no confusion. The only time I will reccomend CB to any one is for.... uh .. this is taking too long to come up with answer. mid week before noon after they are 100% open???? Glad to hear that it's better now. I'll have to come and try it soon. Papa, when will you be there next? as soon as a pipe is open, probably for a half day before noon, unless one or both of my kids want to stay longer.
Glenn Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 uh .. this is taking too long to come up with answer. Let me help... if it's 15 min away and you are addicted to making turns. I can go up every night and have trails to myself for 2 hours, usually longer. If you have to travel or buy a day pass it's not really worth it. I guess if you are a beginner it doesn't matter much which mountain you go to, and CB does do a decent job with grooming so, I guess there is that to consider. The weirdos that bomb meadows kind of nullify that point a little bit though.
