The info we are asking for when passholders from other resorts receive their complimentary tickets is entered into a drawing for a FREE 2008/2009 Unlimited Pass!

NJSkiFamily is correct- we will be open all this week and possibly next (weather dependent, of course). Slide Ink Rail Jam on Sunday Jib Stick Jungle Rail Jam on Saturday April 12 Check out the website www.skicamelback.com for info and to register for Jib Stick Jungle By the way- has anyone tried out the Climbing Wall or EuroBungee? It has been set up next to Ticket Sales on the weekends. Check out the website for pictures if you have not seen it yet- The Easter Bunny even tried it out yesterday!

If the picture pass that you have states on it that it is valid for the 2007/2008 season, then you can show it at Camelback for a complimentary open-to-close ticket. Stop in the Guest Welcome Center with your pass when you arrive to pick up your free pass.

The 10,000,000th guest was named today! He recieved a free 2008/2009 season pass for making history. Our local news station was here to film this special occasion as we bombarded him at the ticket window with balloons and cameras. I think we scared him a little- he thought he was on a candid camera show and it was all a joke! Check out our website for pics. Thanks to all of you skiers and riders who have helped us to make this mark in Camelback's history!

Glenn is correct about the 7 elements of the Responsibility Code. A Platinum Card is a fully transferable card that is pre-loaded with 8 open-to-close lift tickets valid any day of the season. The tickets can be used all on one day, or spread out throughout the season. I am really looking forward to seeing what you come up with! The safety tip for the day is: You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.

In honor of National Safety Awareness Week (Jan 19-25), we have started a contest on YouTube to submit your best video which covers all 7 aspects of the Responsibility Code. 1st place will receive a Platinum Card for the 2008/2009 winter season! Details of the contest: * videos can be created by an individual or a team * videos must be made at Camelback * videos must contain all 7 elements of the Responsibility Code * videos must be submitted by Friday February 29, 2008 To submit your video, visit www.youtube.com/group/cbkcontests, join our group and upload your best work. I've seen some of the videos that you have posted in these forums, and I am looking forward to seeing what you can come up with! For more information on National Safety Awareness Week, visit our website at www.skicamelback.com The safety tip of the day is: Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.

All of our Burton rental snowboards have strap-in bindings. As long as your board has strap-in bindings, you can rent just snowboard boots. It is $20 for a boot-only rental, which you can purchase at ticket sales when you arrive.

We just updated our conditions page with the trail numbers that correspond to the trail map. We apologize for any inconvience!
