What a surprise it was to wake up this morning at 7:30 and see what looked like white out conditions out the window as soon as my eyes opened. I threw my stuff on grabbed my gear and hit the road. It must have started snowing just after sunrise, the roads weren't treated one bit. I was stoked to see 80 was pretty white and what little traffic was moving at a slow steady pace. The snow seemed to have deterred people from coming out to the hill this morning. I was to busy scrambling for first tracks to get any good shots on the mountain this morning. Cliffhanger was money at 8:45 got a couple face shots on the way down Pharoah and Bactrain were equally tasty. Things got tracked up pretty quick but there was plenty of stashes in the woods and on the sides. Best Pocono pow day of the season thus far I would say considering the snow fell after grooming was already done, JADIP

It is true they are charging for everything they possibly can and it does suck for someone that just visits a couple times a season to have to pay an additional $10. From a local stand point though it's free for pass holders and definitely decreases park traffic.

Hey, anyone notice how windy it is today today?

ooooh pics plzzzz.. I cant wait to get up north.

I can't wait for next week when everyone's back at work and school. What a Zoo as always Christmas week! Nice pics. I finally paid the park a visit today, me likes

Get a job at McDonalds or something... than $10 wont seem like so much If you get caught ducking the fence than it's gonna cost you the price of your lift ticket and your day of riding... Whats more costly?

lol love it well at least you were making .83 cents a min aspen cash while you were sitting there!

I think guardian signature if your under 18 but I doubt they'll card you if you just pretend you are and sign the line If you want to play it safe they have the form on the website I think to print so you can have it signed to bring with you.

The parks have to be accessed from the park lift so you need a pass to get on any of it.

I haven't been in the park yet this season but from what I see from below it's legit. They may even have the pipe open by Tuesday they're advertising 100% Christmas week. http://www.cbkactionsports.com/index.php/component/content/article/36-news/70-park-layout lists what's set up.

lol freerolls starting soon!!

He's right that's why we ride/ski as often as we do.

It's $10 and you get it right at the park lift in a shed next to it. It how much you love park if its worth it or not for one day visit.

There's moose in Vermont

Isn't that satellite map you uploaded from iTracks backwards?

There's wolves, moose, fox, deer, and all sorts of other animals on ski resorts around the world.

lol don't get stuck on a ski lift

Man those jf glades look so tasty I have to make it up there this year.

Sounds like JADIP to me wow only 80 ppl during the holiday that's awesome for the Elk locals

OMG robert2 just pwned GSS!! :lol :lol

How was it this afternoon? I still have yet to get my park pass this year I think I'll do it tomarrow since the Stevenson will be open.

I don't ride drunk but I don't mind the occasional brewski or two taking a break. This is pretty efffed up though. This guy has to have more issues than just being drunk to beat up a 12 year old. I would love to have seen Ski patrol take this guy into custody and hold him until the police arrived. Do you think they used a ski lock to cuff him?

No runs in on Marjies I guess they opened it around noon and being that it was wet probably wasn't powder anyways so I don't feel like I missed anything. Everything else was great though! Asp had a little death cookies field on the right side easily avoidable but thats to be expected first day open. Stoked for the Stevenson opening tomorrow!
