  1. Sunday is Easter, only athiests and agnostics will be there cutting their already low turnout by 90%. But really, they should at least stay open through Satruday. If the weather is 50 and brilliant, i'd be pissed. I'm long since done there this year, but why not stay open that one extra day?

    Something i didnt know, i haven't been there much in many years but never saw an advert. or sign pointing to a course off the access road. Isn't $50k a bit generous GSS? I'd lean more towards 'just has a job'.

    Really huh? Didn't know that. Never poked around up there much. Full 18 holes? I'm pretty sure it was more or less a recent thing and not part of the original development. Could be wrong there too.

    Exactly as guitar sez. Glenmaura or something like that. No Golf, just higher end development for Scranton's rich and famous.

    Y'all know Sno isn't currently owned by anyone who knows anything about the ski industry, right? If it were up to whatever managerial structure was remaining there, they'd have pushed for some end of year fun stuff. But the bank got 'em and they want to stop hemmoraging $$$. Word does have it that employees there were told they have a job next year. Whether that means coming back as on-snow work or coming back with chainsaws and wrenches to start gutting the place for condos, who knows.
  6. I might be up there once more before the end, will ask some friends. What's the deal with 'em?

    Elk Mountain Jingle

    Joe owns so much land here I think he could/should open up a separate park area close by but not within elk itself. He doesn't like parks but he likes making money.

    Elk Mtn Law Suit??

    Elk Mtn Law Suit??

    Good thing you stayed in lower pa bro, crazy crazy busy, other parking lot packed. I didn't ski long today, instead working on the house instead. I'll pop in later tonight if you are still at the party, not sure if I'm sticking around tomorrow, can't handle the crowds!

    Elk Mtn Law Suit??

    Hey coach, I do probably spend too much time here, lol. This year I've kept my earplugs in and haven't paid too much attention to the chatter. I'm just tweaked cause of all the turmoil at anyplace where I spend good money to escape the 9-5only to run into more BS. I'm finding it best to keep focus on the snow, and post ski beverages ;-) I heard nothing about that preliminary hearing, and I have no hope for a quick resolution. You going up this weekend?
  12. Lol Kyle, I wasn't aware they were allowed to do that. I see the benefit of tossing kids in moguls and parks to better their skiing, but with as crowded as bear is, probably not the best place for that. Plus I'll wager the instructors don't know shit about park etiquette either.
  13. I'd skip it. If you go, the trick is to get some early turns in, break for an early lunch and get back out when the lunch crowd comes in. Otoh, it can't be worse than bear creek.
  14. Yo coach, welcome aboard. Hey, you'd never thnk that you'd ever get a good bloody out of a plastic cup, but ain't bad eh? When are you heading up again? This weekend will be a mess crowd wise, we may take a weekend off.
  15. Stay outta this thread brotha, sore subject with the park rats around here, lol. Catch ya on the elk threads!

    It'll be a bitch for them to recover after tomorrow cause the window of snow making weather looks narrow for awhile. I'm surprised one bad day has em playing with dirt already. Elk lost it's few natural snow only trails but we currently have the same temps as bear right now.

    yeah, too early to tell, will discuss in May. BUT, I'd think people would be trying to make up for lost time since the pissy season last year, or at least try to get some nicks in the new sticks that were under the Christmas tree in 2011.

    That's certainly a factor too. I think ski areas have found their upper limit of what they can get out of average enthusiasts through winter loyalists. But i hear fewer and fewer people who never tried skiing talk about giving it a go, price being the biggest issue (broken limbs a very distant second ;-) Used to be the other way around.

    I'm noticing lack of crowds at other places as well. The weather was outstanding the last two weeks at Elk for instance, one weekend lots of snow, last weekend just plain ole average winter feel and the crowds were less than what I expected. Wondering if people just aint feeling the winter love any more? Not that i'm complaining...

    Interesting, didn't know that. I probably wont go on it again for awhile but it does add another cool dimension to the place. Still diggin' Tioga Spur and the Indians for my early season picks.

    Only takes a few days of this chit to kill the base. I'll dig butter snow in March, just a pisser second week in Jan.

    Opening Tues 12/18

    I hear ya, tried Lehigh for the first time ever (after all the years i've skied there) and it was kinda neat with the view. Tioga spur rocked, best runs of the day easily. Tunk needs work yet but wont get any better until we get dumped on.

    Saurus, how was killington overall? looks good from my pooter, but hoping to score a deal on lodging next month. Weather, here we go again. 60 and wet and that goes for Elk too. Debating if i just want to stay home and mow some grass.

    Opening Tues 12/18

    Another good weekend underway, low crowds nearly everything open and you can actually reach the bar and belly up!
