Summer would be the same as it is now.

Not really a mountain, but three days there brought me up to 100 days (after Camelback didn’t open that last weekend). My Carv summary this year put me in the top two percent for number of turns. I may not make pretty turns, but I sure do make a lot of them. 😜

And if you bring your bike to Glen Onoko, you can bike down to Jim Thorpe and back.

Apparently parking at Big Snow will be in the hundreds of dollars on World Cup days.

That was nice, and staying open during the week when Blue was weekends only.

The township BM is in is considering an amusement tax. I know Whitewater Challengers pays a 10% amusement tax on their Lehigh River rafting operations. Pocono Raceway pays a tax too.

Agree that CB did a great job. Their grooming is several levels above Blue. The downside of skiing in May was that Cliffhanger was closed because of blowing or ungroomed icy conditions much of the year. Don’t know if Blue has a trail they can do that to. Maybe Challenge, certainly not Razors. And then you have all that run out from the bottom of Challenge.

CB ski season officially closed. 😒Looks like I’ll need 3 days at Big Snow.

No, we wait for warm weather to boat. Might do it this Saturday-there is a release on the Lehigh.

Thought I saw a post by redcoats, but can’t find it now. I did see someone get sledded down Sunday, but he limped off at the bottom.

I think they could if they wanted to, but they may think it’s not worth the effort. I think the ski patrol is being kept pretty busy sledding people down, and I think it will get worse as the slope narrows. Although, except for the very top and bottom, there is still a lot of snow. Need 3 more days to get my century, so I hope they do open next weekend.

When they just groomed the left side on Sunday it seemed the steep choke point bumped up almost immediately. Today the very top which was a little narrow bumped up very fast, but the rest of the slope didn’t develop any real bumps the hour I was skiing.

Bumps on the right midway down were a little frozen at opening.

CB officially open Cinco de Mayo. 40% chance next weekend.
