I know right. While I would love to be nit picking over what constitutes the rockies, this ass area is where I reside. Actually it's not bad. Only ass when compared to 95% of other mountain regions based on the fact that the skiing sucks in comparison.

There's a PJ weilehans in Beltsville. Used to be platz's

Tell me about it. I've been waiting for this thing for a decade.

That's what the Pocono mountain vacation bureau calls the poconos. That doesn't mean that it's the poconos proper. Pocono is basically a native American word to describe what is now the Delaware water gap. The "Poconos" used to only consist of eastern Monroe and pike counties. They added all 4 counties for marketing purposes. Most people in places like Palmerton and Lehighton will tell you that they don't live in the poconos.

Technically the Poconos and the Catskills are a raised plateau cut and formed by glaciers. None of them are true mountains. So yes, elk, jack frost bellayere are technically the same geologic feature. That being said, I live in carbon County and I don't consider myself to be in the poconos. I reserve that title for most of Monroe, pike and Wayne. I would call carbon and the West end of Monroe the western poconos.

When the Penn forest interchange (on 476) opens next year it will be by far quicker to get to BB than Blue. Elk is remote. I don't consider the Pocono areas remote.

It exists. It's called elk but it's a long drive unfortunately.

They were blowing in the valley when I drove past at 8am this morning. Nothing up top.

I purchased a toy and everything too. Might as well use it and go tonight. This Weekend is not an option. $20 for freedom is not worth it.

Damn I should have went. Didn't get home until 7 last night. Anyone going tonight

I like Blue Ridge.

Any signs of snow making anywhere else? Love Park?

I think the crowds will descend after dark.

Guys post up how it is. My motivation levels have dropped since this morning. If I go it wouldn't be until 7 or so tonight.

Its just criminal if they charge full price for just freedom. I don't think they would do that.

I'm torn between tonight and tomorrow. Tomorrow will probably be a shit show.

No idea. Their website is so vague

I wonder what the chances of BB trail for tomorrow are. Probably 1%

I'm running out to buy a toy lol

Nice. BB gives back tomorrow night too. Who's in?

Looks like another freedom park shit show to kick off the season. Ride you should come down and ride freedom with us.

This morning

Unfortunately I think freedom may be the only option for this weekend if at all. For what it's worth I ended up driving past Boulder ( yes I was all over the place last night), and they were blowing on what appeared to be the base area around 8 o'clock.

He sure did. That and "JADIP". PS - Someone start a 10th anniversary thread since thats actually coming up in like 2 months.
