50 years ago my dad photographed the Freedom Train for the bicentennial when it came through Bethlehem. I'm sure if he would have been even more excited to see UP Big Boy if he was still around Sadly, none of these rails are active and have been torn up and passenger service left the valley a few years later.

Been waiting for this opportunity.

I would expect that lot to be pretty packed - not just for this event but a normal weekend there is always mobbed. I am trying to figure out best place to see it too. I am pretty excited about it

yes.

throwback to BB May Day... when they cared.

Quite the show by Camelback this year. They have moved up on my list of PA hills.

how many unique runs? is it as many as the new Mecca camelback? can I park my police cruiser slope side?

Damnit I don't know.. I just know Camelback is now the best place to park my police cruiser in the east.

Still 11 distinctly unique runs. AMAZING.

You are smoking better stuff than GSS.

This is actually a pretty interesting feature. I enjoy data like this.

If you peel back their shell and scrape away the fibrous membrane there is a very fine layer of velvety fur that is often used in the linings of gaper gear.

Good seeing you all today even if I didn’t get to ski some runs with everyone. I didn’t partake in food/beverage festivities since I didn’t bring anything to contribute but Enjo always puts out a showcase and based on what I saw today I believe that to be true once again. Shockingly great coverage for the end of March and premier spring conditions.

That’s not a haiku. Please post here in haiku form. This is a warning.

It is completed. Thank you for noticing that. Enjoy your ski day.

That explains the inconsistency with the Beltzville Buoy this year.

Blue will be open you’re crazy.

That’s awesome dude. You deserved it after everything recently. Glad you got to go and your dad joined!

Hell yeah I love to see this!

all signs are pointing to somewhere new...

Mine got trashed years ago. Gorilla duct tape holds it together and a roll of it lives in my bag in the event it happens mid travel.

This is the right call on their end which is surprising that they actually did it. I'll give you a refund in DG gift cards if you go to Catamount and don't like it.

idk I think you would like it there. The 3 hour drive can be a turn off but throw on some U2 and you're good to go. It is definitely a change from Blue but you'd have a Beautiful Day. The allure of a new place is always nice too. They have a nice lodge to boot up in and hang out with a bevy when you need a break and an Unforgettable Fire pit which is almost always blazing. Every time I have been there the lift lines were minimal and you could just Walk On. The trails are unique and the front face steeps are pretty legit and might give you Vertigo for a 1000' mountain. And, as you know, lift tickets are reasonable..

Catamount?

I think that is correct. Sorry Honeycomb was broken while you were there. It has been up and running both times that I've been there, luckily.
