After the near-record warm December and January, the hydraulics gave out on our lone groomer, just as we were about to spread tons of newly blown snow. The mechanics finally located a part and we're expecting to open The Hideout Ski Hill Friday, Feb. 9...

 

The huge piles, btw, we're totally unskiable, since everything had frozen up so hard. Maybe if we'd had some mid-30's, or so, but it was concrete.

What took them so long to open?

we read an article in school awhile back about gangs like the crips and bloods in the poconos. a guy from the hideout was interviewed and talked about what a safe neighborhood/community it was. good to see you're safe from the crips and bloods, ski!

 

Word is that gangs have been lurking in gated communities in the Poconos, due to less police coverage, since a lot of these places rely on private security.

Thanks, TP4!

 

Yeah, there are 3000 homes in the two sections and not a single burglary last year. That's pretty amazing to me, since only 1/3 of the houses are year 'round residents and there are a lot of rich people's homes that surround each lake that are stocked with good swag.

 

The Hideout has a weird rap mostly because we kick out anyone that doesn't pay their annual dues prompty---eh, not me, but that's the way it works. Then, these pissed off people hate The Hideout forever and write creepy letters to the newspapers, saying there's a bunch of drug dealers here.

 

But, Doug, if you wanted to score crystal meth, would you go to a dealer where you had to first check into the security building, give your license plate number and car registration to a rent-a-cop, then pass through a gate on video? I think it would be a crappy place to deal drugs from.

 

Anyway, we missed the early cold because they shoot for Xmas week opening every year. The groomer has been a problem since the third week of January when they first went to groom.

But it is starting to pop up in some of the gated communities
