DiMe

Im no pro, I just started hot waxing my boards myself last season. All I do is drip in a zigzag down the length of the board iron it slowly nice and evenly. Then I scrape all the wax I can off after letting it sit for about 30 min and run a real fine brilo pad type sponge over it a few times to smooth things out and it's been working great for me. Never heard about the "lint free paper tower" thing, I doubt most ski shops even bother with that.

Without a doubt snowmaking will be back in force in the Poconos to get as much as possible open for Christmas week. Imagine how bad it would be if Camelback didn't get the other quad going and blue didn't get the 6 pack going by Christmas week. Everyones going to do everything they can to get things going to prep for the crowds.

Nice shots, groomers got a lot of work to do.

mmmm PA tree runs

Lol I can't wait, have you made any turns yet this season? I have not.

True story

This is true but at least they spent some of the extra money on improveing stuff for us like the parks.

The Camel this Saturday Ski and Ride PA ALL DAY!!!

haha when I work it's 150 miles each day round trip from the poconos to NYC but I will always prefer to live closer to the mountains than work. Robert you and Steve should come to the Camel this Saturday!

The lot in front of the horizontal sunbowl lifts.

I would imagine there would be almost anywhere.

I will most likly be parked at the Sunbowl since it's a better safety meeting spot, should be less people to have to shout over. They need to open the Stevenson soon so I can park in my home spot

Stupid phone lines are busy and they're closing soon. I'm assuming no since they didn't last year but thats when they opened with Rhodo only so who knows. I'll find out first thing saturday and get it before a line forms if it is required.

Sullivan, Sunbowl, & Glenn Lift. Yes there will be a black run open, marjies & probably rocket. Not sure if park passes will be required im calling now to see and if they're available before opening day. I'll call ya when I pull into the parking lot there since theres no cell service issues like there was at Stowe. I'm meeting with up with some local friends for first trax if I can get my ass up which I must! I will probably pull an all night on pstars and stay up or only sleep a few hours so I can fall aleep early friday lol.

Frigid early, but than it will hit 30 and sunny by the afternoon. Maybe the frigidness friday night will call for some man made pow conditioning!!

Err the $49 deal is even better than I thought.

I should get there early you are right about the crack of noon thing though But hey I still made it to stowe by 9-10ish each day! 7:30-8:30 for passholders 8:30 for public. Either way I will most likly make a entire day of it even if I'm not riding the entire time, thats just how I roll. Where would you be the other 10% of the time? I don't know about early season ticket prices.. but They have 3 OC tickets to use anytime for $99 and a $49 camelcard buy 2 tickets 3rd one is free all season.

I shall be there for super pass first trax and probably the entire day there after with a case of winter lager for the blue PASRs as promised!

WOOHOOO PASR day at the Camel early season!

Haha nice I crushed sone rich cocky fools at th borgata yesterday but took a horrible beat at harrahs last night. I'm in the small blind with 35os 4 limpers in front I limp BB checks flop comes 545. I check hoping to trap old lady nit in 4 pos bets $7 ub shirt guy calls late position calls I raise to $20 old lady calls ub shirt says I don't believe you I call. Turn 4545 I bet $40 old lady calls ub shirt says I believe you both now folds. River 84545 I bet $75 old lady nit counts $75 than says I'm all in $172 on top. I look at her in disgust and say are you serious you have quad 4s? Only 44,88,85 could beat me and she would have folded 88 to my turn bet being such a tight post flop player so I figured she had quads or just thought I was trying to buy the pot not believeing I had the last 5. I call in disgust and she tables 85 for the rivered better boat $500 pot ugh lol. I should have folded with my gut instinct telling me she had 44 but I didn't want to fold and risk not potentially chopping the pot ugh donkey me.

If they don't I'm expecting to see all you blue regulars at the camel I will supply a case of winter lager!

Me

Camelback sells a card I forget if it's $50 or $99 but it's buy 2 tickets and the 3rd is free. Pretty good deal if you frequent them but not enough to buy a pass.

I agree although there's still time if they start soon. Keep us posted if you see anything going over there other than the parks.
