    There was also a ski area operating on Camelback Mountain before the extant Camelback was opened in the 60s. Big Pocono Ski area opened for the 1950/51 season and closed in 1955 before ski operations moved slightly west down the mountain and the ski area's investors opened the current Camelback. The old pickup truck used to power the original rope tow is still in the woods off Nile Mile. 

    I know they're not counting that in the date but you gave me an opening to talk about ski area history.

     

    Interesting. Was the ski area part of what is Big Pocono SP now?

    I was less than motivated this morning after 2 12 hour shifts of shit I can’t even make up. Weather said heavy rain wasn’t going to hit until noon, so got on the snow around 945, just in time for the r@in to start. I’ve skied in the rain a lot this season, but this was in a class by itself. Top stayed dry thanks to Gortex jacket, but everything else soaked almost immediately. Took 9 runs, called it a day. What’s left of the snow is actually pretty nice, they’ve lost a lot since I was there Wednesday. Back tomorrow for the last day of the season at Blue

    It seems like thursdays have been by far the rainiest day this season…I call it TP4s revenge because he always used to ski on Thursdays and doesn’t anymore and the weekends have been generally nice weather albeit cold but it is winter or was winter lol.  

    I did notice it seemed to rain every Thursday.

    Skied today and yesterday. The morning was glorious. Snow wasn’t bad later in the day, just the run outs got so sticky. Unfortunately, a giant brown patch on Main Street and at the bottom of Switchback. Had fun tailgating both days. Was planning on Saturday and Sunday. Weather not looking good Saturday.

    We only had one beautiful blue sky day when we were there. That being said, I can’t complain. Had one day when it was too foggy to venture to the top, stayed on the lower lifts. Had some fresh snow 2 days, not too deep between 6-8 inches depending on where you were. Lots of untracked, but not so deep you were struggling or had to rent wider skis.

    Bah!  We had 8 up in Canada and never had a problem. 
    We would just agree on the next lift to head to and everyone either skied together or went their own way and met at the lift.

     

    We give them our own names, like at Blue: OG6, couch, loser...

    Yeah, but there’s only 3 lifts at Blue. 4 if you count Vista.
