I haven't been to Blue or Camelback in a few years. How are lift lines midday on a Sunday at either? Which is better on a day like today? (Skiing with wife and 10yo, accessing mor of the beginner terrain). Thanks

I have a pass for a lesson at Stratton. It expires on 12/31/10 (sorry for waiting so long to post it here). I'm not making it up there to use it. If anyone wants it, PM me. Free to anyone willing to pick it up (I live in Lower Bucks County at the moment).

Has anybody been to Elk recently? What can I expect for crowds if I head up tomorrow?

I might go to Elk instead. Thanks.

Has anybody been at Blue during the day this week? I'm thinking of heading to Blue tomorrow, I'm wondering how crowded it has been.

Anybody have pics of the new "glades" I see on Blue's trail map?

I should be there sunday. Might try pond skimming.

How is this stealing? It sounds like the employees are provided with lift ticket vouchers as part of their compensation package. If it belongs to you, what's wrong with selling it at market price? If someone buys your pass, Blue Mt. gets the same result as if you gave the pass to your friend: another skier on the mountain who didn't pay for the mountain's services. Am I missing something here? It's not like you're going into the managers office and stealing a stack of free passes.

I PMed you, Barb. I'm interested in the freebies. If they're still available, awesome! If not, thanks for the offer.

Snow quality is great...usually much better than Blue. Much less ice and hardpack. Great terrain as well. Elk's lifts may be slow, but the high speed lifts at Blue don't matter when there are 1000 people in line and you have to wait 15-20 minutes to get on a chair. Elk is usually not too crowded (not nearly as crowded as Blue on a weekend). I've done 28 runs on a weekend day at Elk...couldn't imagine doing that with Blue's weekend crowds. I love Blue, but Elk is much better. If you're going up for a full day of skiing, you're best bet is to drive the extra 80 minutes to Elk.

If a pay locker is full but is not paid for and locked, i have no problem emptying that locker and paying to use it to secure my own belongings in there.

JF is usually in great shape. I'll be there on Saturday.

How about more advertising in the Philly area? I don't ever hear about Sno down here. I don't think anybody knows about it (except for a few people who knew it as Montage before, but those are few and far between). More customers = more $$$ = more improvements elsewhere on the mountain.

anyone have a pic? where is it located?

hmmm...apparently he's not. must have been someone else i was thinking of.
