  1. Visit My WebsiteHere's the video I just got from summer camp in Whistler. There's only some random shots of my kids not doing anything great, oh well. There's some nice scenery of Whistler and it gives a good overview of camp if anyone is thinking about going this summer. Enjoy.
  2. Check out Craigslist... http://poconos.craigslist.org/roo/

     

    I really don't think any PASRs do a Pocono rental because most just do day trips up there since we mostly live within an hour or two drive. Maybe you can get on Barbs good side and offer baby-sitting/housecleaning services in exchange for a couch to crash on...I know she has a house by Boulder and is up there every other weekend or so...Good Luck..

     

     

    haha I only rent to people I know WELL.

  3. Yesterday was pretty good. Got there about 10 and left at 2:30. I spent the whole time cruising down Little Boulder and practicing my toe turns. Lots of falls but I was able to link quite a few. I guess I can consider that progress since its only my third time snowboarding. All in all lots of fun though

     

     

    weren't you at Stratton yesterday :confused

  4. They have a webcam on Big Boulder Park, but it doesn't say they are making snow on that trail. I wish they would have another open. I am going to need a day to get my snowboarding legs back. I'd rather not have all the ultra hip jibhonks laughing at the old lady trying to snowboard.

  5. One of the things CB will not do is open a trail with a little coverage just to say "we are open!" It doesn't make sense to do it just to please the few peeps that are on here. They will make sure they have good coverage on a few trails (a better assortment this year) and take advantage of doing it right as opposed to just doing it. Remember, CB has to put alot more snow down because of the size and shape of the base and top areas just to get people to and from the lifts. The amount of snow we need in the base area would almost completely cover BB or BC.

     

     

    BB is my home mountain so yes I am biased. They are saying "preseason" open and discounted lift tickets by more than half. They are getting a lot of hype for doing so. I had mothers at parent/teacher conferences coming up to me asking me about it since they know I go up there a lot. I had a kid come home from Virginia Tech for Thanksgiving break telling me he was talking to a bunch of kids at school about it. I know BB is a small mountain so obviously CB needs more snow to have good coverage. Boulder is probably not even making any money by having one trail open, but its great PR and great for their passholders.

  6. you're in my neighborhood! hah i think i know where your house is. we're on fern ridge lane or road or something like that. brown A frame with a garage on the side.

     

     

    holy crap! I'll have to keep an eye out next time we drive up. We live on Crest View. Log cabin on top of the hill.
