Smittysprize Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 ............but Camelback is okay in my book! My son just got an email today from the folks in the rental shop. Not only does he get his own Sunday thru Friday season pass card, my family has the oportuntiy to get one too. For the incredible price of $50.00 each!! And the pass includes ski rentals and lessons if we want! What a great deal! What a family friendly attitude! Put your siblings to work boys....And next year ride for free!!! Quote
Timeless Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 That's very cool 4 more weeks and we'll be charging down 'Tut's Quote
Smittysprize Posted November 3, 2007 Author Report Posted November 3, 2007 That's very cool 4 more weeks and we'll be charging down 'Tut's Well I am not too sure of that. They are not having rental shop training until December 1st and there is a big customer service meeting that day. So I doubt it will be 4 weeks. Maybe closer to 5 though!! Quote
Kyle Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 That's very cool 4 more weeks and we'll be charging down 'Tut's 4 weeks? i dont think that'll happen. especially at camelback Quote
Timeless Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 Goddamnit Timeless Doesn't matter what you say regarding CB, they will open when they are ready (commercially) so there's no "jinxing" to worry about. Last year (and every other year) we all had this "when will they blow" thing going on, but I've just come to realise that CB will be ready when they are ready and that may not be until Christmas. I'm looking elsewhere for first turns of the year and my CB season pass is just a money saver on the tickets that I would buy simply because they are close. Expect less, it's the only way they wont disappoint. Quote
snorovr Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 Hmm thats kinda cool. Most mountains only offer season pass discounts to spouse or children. Blue's is only twenty bucks for a no limits season pass for your spouse or children, but I always wanted to get one for my dad or my little brother and couldn't. Quote
Rob in NJ Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 So does anyone know what CB's plans are to start blowing and open up for the year? Obviously weather dictates, but any projections? Quote
skier89 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Camelback usually opens about a week late than Blue mountain due to their higher elevation and more northerly location.. ha ha Quote
jdew Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Camelback usually opens about a week late than Blue mountain due to their higher elevation and more northerly location.. boring Quote
Rob in NJ Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 According to Accuweather, temps will drop below 30 starting next Wednesday, so maybe they'll start blowing snow. Quote
Rob in NJ Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Is Craig from Camelback on here for the straight info??? Good question. When I wrote Craig a while ago to ask about the old ridecamelback board, he said he would be contributing to PASR...So Craig, what's the scoop on blowing snow and projected opening day? Quote
iceman_4432 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Well night temps from now thru Monday are supposed to be below freezing as a low. Hopefully this trend (colder then normal) will continue ! Also, look at next thursday, Friday, sAturday .. they are predicting snow at night. Thats different then in years past. Quote
Kyle Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Is Craig from Camelback on here for the straight info??? yeah he's the person who started this thread. haha j/k Quote
Ski Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 yeah he's the person who started this thread. haha j/k I think the CB reps will be waiting for newbs (the possible $) to start showing up closer to Thanksgiving (or after) before chancing anymore abuse. Quote
SkiCamelback Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 When will Camelback start to make snow? The short term forecasts are calling for average temperatures for the month of November. For instance, the Thanksgiving Day averages for Tannersville, PA, are an average High of 48 and an average Low of 29. Early season is a hard bet for snowmaking Quote
Timeless Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 I wont be rushing up to pick up my season pass then.... Might have to spend a few days at JFBB or trekking up north before the guns fire up. Looking forward to some great conditions in late December, hopefully the weather will be much kinder than last year. Quote
Ski Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 In the mean time, please remember to get bindings checked, leashes repaired and boards tuned. Keep working out and getting exercise. Nothing is a bigger bummer than getting hurt during the early season because of having broken gear and out of condition legs, knees and the rest of the body! That's funny. Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 That's funny. awwww man.. he was being honest and sincere, you should meet him some time... Quote
Ski Posted November 8, 2007 Report Posted November 8, 2007 awwww man.. he was being honest and sincere, you should meet him some time... After I inflate my tires to the recommended psi. I was just kidding, Rob...we're all broken and twisted from summer wrecks. Quote
