  1. thanks for the capture! they claim they got 1" of new snow, and racerchick said she got 3", so maybe for the first time, camelback had a conservative estimate!
  2. The problem is though, I have frequently thought the 1/2 pipe was closed, but yet it was open. It's really confusing. And plus, Camelback should have a seperate trail just for the 1/2 pipe like Blue does, it gets less use, and you can DEFINATLY see that it's closed. anyway... I too, have had a problem with Camelback trail closing signs. I was comming off the Asp I believe...and i decided to take a run down Meadows (i think)...so I see like 3 lolipops before I crossed over to Meadows, and at blue, the lolipops mean "experts only" or "obstacle" such as a terrain park feature...well apparently, at Camelback, they mean closed. and I argued with the guy for a good 10 minutes telling him they need to have a uniform system to show trai closings, and i don't care what anyway says. LOLIPOPS ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Camelback management, if you're reading this post, as you do others, please! Improve! I have see everything from a retractable tape, to a net (at the top of cliffy) to just lolipops, and frankly, lolipop are small, and can't be read from a distance. At the top of the sullivan, if you turn right, there is that little path to the asp, well blue has a few off those, but skipatrol has gone out of their way to put a net, or but crisscrosed bamboo poles so you know you cant go down it, not just a verticle pole. but anyway, it was 10:15 or so, you really shouldn't have taken that last run, I know Blue closes the east side of the mtn around 9:50 or so to start moving people over....But nonetheless, at least he let you go, unfortunatly, the ranger I met, didn't, and I still have my circled ticket to prove it. </rant>
  3. especailly when you get off the lift, and hang a right...i've been almost blown backwards on that trail
  4. my friend raan over my skis, and some of the red atomic top shoot is slit open, it's still ok though, i think
  5. wait, is this on your base, or the top of your board?
  6. ahhhh, that would make sense...cause when people refer to the valley around here, they mean the lehigh valley
  7. yea, you claim you're in the valley, im REALLY in the valley, and its not even snowing here
  8. w3rd...i was watching him hit it the other day, its definatly a pretty nasty rail.....
  9. Ski999, I agree what he did/threatened was wrong...and we all know, you would NEVER hold a grudge
  10. yea, the lower park features boxes, and less intimidating hits. But the rainbow rail is unbelieveable! When i stand next to it with my skis on, im pretty sure its taller then i am!
  11. a friend of mine that works at Nestors said a few guys from the store went up to VT, and I see his away message says "I <3 VT" so I guess he was one of them
  12. Usually DaveyJ does the interviews, cause hes more of a people person ...but nonetheless, hopefully they're gettin some snow
  13. unless you are being sarcastic, i don't understand why? It's getting cooler as we speak, that'll be snow by the time it hits ski resorts around here
  14. look at whats comming
  15. Justo, the contrast is bad, but i'm pretty sure it looks like you (the goggles, light pants, green jacket).. from Blue's POD page... http://www.skibluemt.com/POD/index_html
  16. it was raining, though it's just misting now
  17. good work
  18. nice....whos the culprit?
  19. well both their bump runs are under the lifts, though the one in the base area is a good "learn to ski the bumps" trail, even though its sorta tight under there, bumps aren't that narly, though the ones on tunkhannock are pretty big sometimes
  20. Elk is amazing w/ some freshies, that may make it worth the trip on sunday, if we don't get any snow down here
  21. AtomicSkier

    Snowboard boots

    I can see the Westgate Mall if I stood on the roof of my house but yea, that would be a good place to try...If I have some time today, I'll stop by and see what they have
  22. never night skiied at elk, would never want to, there are only a few lighted trails anyway. The mountain is pretty expansive, there are trails i still haven't skiied there. The amount of diamonds is amazing, and the feeling that you get when you're skiing there, its soo much differnet then skiing at blue mtn or anywhere else. It feels like the trees overhang all the trails, like the trails are there, they werent cut...i dunno, its a great place
  23. frankly i LOVE the fact that they don't have lights! It means less people ski on the snow each day, which preserves snow quality. and the location? couldn't be better, its nowhere near anything! Elk is a great mtn, that will make you feel like you're skiing in vermont they do, however, seem to have limited snowmaking power
  24. elk is amazing. plain amazing. But they only have two diamonds open, and they aren't even the best diamonds (they have a lot).....But elk is a great experience, especially w/ the secluded trails, those two are wide open cruisers... i love elk
  25. exactly, they only take pics of trails that have good cover, and of trails that have freshly blown, .5 inches of snow
