Hey, thanks guys for the quick replies and great ideas! I need to think it all through & figure out where we're going, but most importantly I can feel comfortable that none of these should be out of the question because they have too many blues.

Hi, I'm new to this site so I apologize if this is an overasked question. I taught my children (10 and 7) how to ski last year at a very small mountain in NJ, and this year they're finally ready to tackle a "real" mountain! I took them to Camelback and they loved it. It was perfect for them because they were afraid to do the intermediate slopes (although I think they can do them), and there are enough beginner hills there that we were able to fill up the whole day. So now I want to try another mountain with them next Tuesday & I've been looking at some that are in PA but not too far from NJ. But I'm having trouble finding a mountain that has as many beginner slopes as Camelback. Even some of the smaller ones look like they're predominantly blues. I know these rankings are relative, so for example at a Shawnee or Jack Frost are the intermediate slopes really not much harder than beginner slopes? I guess the general question is given the above description what's a good place to take my kids? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Andy
