It will absolutely increase crowds. Maybe it will light a fire under blues ass to get that expansion going.

Wish I knew in the spring, I would have gone ikon instead of epic. next year I guess

The only ski area with a view looking west towards hunter would be Cortina Valley.

Not June fools. Wonder If this is to set the stage for vail acquiring smugglers notch. https://liftblog.com/2023/06/01/smugglers-notch-and-stowe-propose-interconnect-gondola/

Glad to see the replanting effort paying off. Still can't believe the previous owners promised a high speed quad but only ended up clear cutting a ton of areas.

-Closing with the best conditions of the season. -JF still open, we will see for how long. -Aside from western PA, This will make Jack frost the only EPICtm resort open in eastern and southern PA. -Blue is making snow at lower elevation and in a warmer climate while big boulder closes.

Here's a live view of whitetail. I think their climate is significantly warmer than blue. Many times the temps are the same at whitetail as they are in south jersey. I only know this because of the one year whitetail was on the peak pass and I was waiting until the snow was decent to get there. Blue is a fantastic option very close to philly. Its priced fairly too.

Sounds like a clusterfuck. Hopefully when ownership changes this can be put behind them. It seems that having a place like the VOFS at the base should be a benefit. You would have to imagine that most people at VOFS bought in due to elk being there, and elk is leaving a ton of pass sales on the table. Looking at the maps it looks like there could even be a trail cut down to the village with a lift. Elk management just looks like idiots.

aw c'mon man. Didn't you hear? you can have an EPICTM time at hunter, its like skiing on the cross bronx expressway, with a longer drive!

Did you tell the lifty about your experience? They probably had no idea they were in the presence of greatness since most people that ski and ride left boulder after vail neutered it.

That trail is super flat, but the real tragedy is what they did to timberline. It used to be a nice narrow winding trail, now its just a trail. before After

Its a fundraiser for the ski for Colin charity. https://www.elkskier.com/events/ski-for-colin/ Its a bit interesting how you get the tickets, but you call/text the number listed there (I texted and got a response, none when I called) and the dude on the line reserves a ticket for you, and you pick it up at their booth in the lodge.

Ive always been intrigued by saddlebacks above treeline stuff. Not much photo/video of it out there. Saddleback looks incredible. Maybe next year I will finally get there. The year I had a trio actually planned, they closed.

North mountain out by ricketts glen had plans for a 1400 foot drop, same with miller mountain in tunkhannock. PA could have been the alps of the mid Atlantic /s.
