    That's for the Value Pass which is good for any day except before 3 on weekends before March 1. That's what I had last year before they unveiled the new Hero Pass, so then I upgraded to that.

    All the lifts were running. Only made one top-to-bottom run from the top of K-1 to Great Eastern. It's fun but gets tiring and the gondola line was too damn long, whereas there were no lines for any other lifts. Spent most of the day riding the Bear Mountain and Skyeship quads. Lots of mogul practice. By noon I don't think there was a single blue run without moguls. Ran Skyeburst, Skyelark, Bittersweet, High Road, and Bear Claw a lot. Also tried some glades off Bear Cub a few times, which was fun. Didn't even need to take my skis off. I always stay in bound and adhere to the rules, so no need to worry about me going out of bounds and getting buried (sorry toast and JF Dan). Overall a fun day. Better than yesterday but not as good as Mon-Wed at Stowe. Didn't do any gaper things today (sorry tarponhead) other than got out of control on a narrow, crowded, moguled section leading into Great Eastern off the Skyeship quad. Reminded me of this video: http://unofficialnetworks.com/2016/11/10/watch-old-school-mogul-skiing-was-out-of-control/

    Nah man their season pass is $899 in season and $599 pre-season. Wow what a bargain.
  4. saltyant
    I don't know, $300 for an unlimited Camelback season pass would probably be too good of a bargain to pass up. Toast and JF Dan will probably start a petition.

    Doesn't look like they have a soup salad and bread buffet.

    The Mountain Inn. I did notice the mountain sports inn on my drive here and remembered someone mentioning it on here.

    Thanks JLaw. I'll reply later tonight when im on my laptop cuz it's easier to type. Sitting in Ramshead lodge waiting for the Wobbly Barn to open so I can get the $15 salad soup and bread buffet.

    Where? You have to skate a little to King Tut and Hump but that's like it. Stevenson side has no skating at all.

    The Mountain Inn. Yes the breakfast is free. And Its only 2 minutes from Ramshead. Pretty crowded but tolerable. Short lift lines on most lifts, and often no line at all. Im sure theres 500 people in line for K1 gondola. Skiing is pretty good on the Skyeship and Bear Mountain trails. Been practicing moguls. Might head back over to Snowdon and ski there. Seems like no one goes over there. Had a chocolate waffle but they put too much damn chocolate syrup on it so now my hands are messy. Not sure if I want to come back tomorrow. It will probably be a zoo. Might go to Pico for a few runs and then return to NEPA.

    Glad you're having the time of your life at Camelback Shadows. Check out Cliffhanger if you get a chance. It's a really fun double black and never gets boring. About 800 feet of vert and no up hill segments. Also Marjie's is a really good black diamond, probably the best in the Poconos.

    Who gives a damn about the water park lol. Montage has a water park and no one ever complains about that. That's cool you guys like the longer runs at Blue, I understand that, but the water park issue is kind of ridiculous. Just saying!

    Pretty rad here. Made 5 runs on a different blue each time and making my way across the mountain. Started at Ramshead, did a warm up run on the Blue run, then did the green run to see where Treezy is. Then tried getting to gondola via Caper but forgot about the stupid uphill segment so took Snowdon double and did a blue to Snowdon triple then made a nice fun run down to gondola. About 300 people in line, will ask for a gift card. Its crowded and feels like a weekend with jerrys everywhere but the place is so yuge I should be able to find some lifts and trails that aren't crowded. No one seems to be riding the slow lifts, at least not yet. Taking 5 at K1 top lodge and then will make a run down my favorite cruiser Great Eastern.

    Got my boots on ok and waiting for first chair at Ramshead. Much easier walk Today. I think i like Killington better because I don't have to walk up any steep hills.
  17. saltyant
    Nah man. Today I'm in great shape. Killington doesn't open until 9 and Ramshead doesn't have a hill to walk up. I can actually take my time and enjoy breakfast for a change.
  18. saltyant
    I realize that it was because my boots were in the trunk yesterday. If I put them on the passenger floor with the heat on I am proficient at putting them on.
  19. saltyant
    Mostly cheap, but driving a manual is more fun.
  20. saltyant
    The first one. Never even considered the other way.
  21. saltyant
    I drive a manual and can't even get the car started with ski boots, so that's un-possible.
  22. saltyant
    Thanks. Just got done practicing putting on my ski boots. This morning in the Mansfield Lodge I could not get them on for some reason and I think the ticket saleswoman thought I was giving birth. Been taking the liners out every single night to dry them on the vent because I forgot my boot dryers at home.

    Might try some glades off Ramshead also. Squeeze Play and Twister are blue rated glades. If I do well in them I might give Patsy's a go.

    Ben and Jerrys was pretty cool. Nothing spectacular. Got a private tour since I was the only person interested at the time. Then got free ice cream samples. Cool to check out the place once for an hour tops and that's about it.

    Sunday walked around Burlington and had a blast. Saw Steeze on a mural of famous Burlington residents. Watched the Super bowl and got wings and stromboli from Piecasso. Monday met Moe Ghoul and made some epic runs in tracked out powder. Was way too late for first trax due to poor planning and late breakfast, and forgot poles in car. Tuesday had the best run of my life down Gondalier in fresh powder and ate mussels and brownie and posted a pic of my meal which earned me an ultra rare like from toast. Also took a lesson. Wednesday skiied freshies and many free refills and had a great time. Today Was 3rd in line for first chair when epic rfid reader fail ensued which caused me to almost rage quit skiing. Lost place in line and was pushed back to 24th place. And many more epic events. Definitely worth a read through, this thread is a classic probably hall of fame worthy. Very happy to see you're doing well Ridge.
