I actually took this photo last time I was there...smh

Because it's not in your face at montage. Unlike cb where it's everywhere you turn. The layout of montage has a lot to do with it. If you're skiing the North face or even those long cruisers on the east side you don't see it. When you're at the base you don't see it. When you're at the top you don't see it. What I'm saying is montage has a layout that is more conducive to having a water park on it's property. You see it only when you're on one section of the mountain and when you do see it (for example when hopping on that lift close to it) it's covered up nicely... whereas at camelback it's the main attraction it feels like. It's intertwined with most of the skiable acreage towards the bottom and where there aren't water park features there's an f'ing roller coaster...hence the feeling of skiing in an amusement park or a circus as opposed to simply being out on a mountain somewhere. Does that answer your question salty?

It's funny because montage has the water park in the middle of the mountain. but there it's cool.

Not gonna lie. I got all the feels reading "anyone headed up after work". A jolt of excitement rushed through my body

Here's an idea saltman. Instead of voting in a Facebook poll....don't support vail by purchasing an epic pass every year. That's the only poll they care about.

That sounds downright incredible

So fucking jealous. DV is on my list. Did you go to Zarbriski point? If so you stepped on historical ground where the front cover shot of the Joshua Tree of was taken. The actual tree is off of route 190. I need to f'ing go. Edit..looks like you did see Zarbriski point?? (Second pic). Damn

Sounds like fun! Looking forward to celebrating with you all

Go to Whiteface. Parking is free there...and you'll save on gas $$ too.

Did you notice that he alluded to this being the first step in their "master plan". Master plan??

What do you expect from the mountain that called coming soon "free fall". Free fall is a ride I went on at six flags great adventure in the 90s.

Yeah but there is a hallelujah hands emoji. We're good.

Stay safe. Are there evacuation orders for you guys?

Did someone say ski twist? (Btw Doug I have you to thank for bringing this gem into my life)

Plus...Doesn't the state still need to come out, inspect and approve as well before they can let the public ride it? That's the part that worries me. The word "quickly" and the state of Pennsylvania do not typically don't go in the same sentence.

Fuck off. Tell that to my family who is just getting over it, specifically my daughter who needed her nebulizer to help her breathe.

Just a flight home for my daughter so far. Phoenix to Newark for $139! I'm booking my flight with points so no rush for me.

Looks like airfare may beginning to...

Despite this, I'm wondering if the old days of parking at the top and waiting to open the valley may be over. Perhaps they incorporate shuttle to homestretch in the early season trail count? Despite the new lift situation it seems to be a new day at blue with KSL calling the shots. And in a few years perhaps the PASRs will be dining at Ruth's Chris steakhouse in the new base village. You never know.

Is that a ski area? I can't tell.

Not going to crack 70 degrees here in the western Poconos today. I'm wearing a hoodie. Room booked in Flagstaff in January. LFG

Did JFBB put the towers in yet? I've resigned myself to the fact that the summit safari extreme deluxe whatever won't be ready for the start of ski season.

I'm starting it now. PASR Day at Plattekill this skison. Let's make it happen.
