RidgeRacer Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Yep - having a season pass there was great since I could just park at the top of the North Face and get right on the snow instead of dealing with walking to the crowded lodge and getting my ticket. The only times I went into the lodge was to use the bathrooms. The pub there (Slocum Hollow) was rarely very crowded. Slocum hollow is a cool name.

Schif Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 21 minutes ago, RidgeRacer said: Slocum hollow is a cool name. The name Slocum is pretty cool in the NEPA region when you know the history. There is a state park called Frances Slocum up there that I've been going to since I was born. The story of the name is below: Frances Slocum The park is named for Frances Slocum, a young girl who was kidnapped by American Indians. Frances was one of ten children of Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Slocum. This Quaker family lived on what is now North Street in Wilkes-Barre. On November 2, 1778, a small group of Delaware Indians entered the Slocum home and carried away Frances, who was five years old. The first night after her abduction was spent in a crude shelter under a rock ledge along Abraham Creek, believed to be within the state park boundary. She tried to escape during the first night but was quickly recaptured. Frances was taken along as the Delaware Indians moved westward and spent the rest of her life with them. Her brothers never gave up the search. Fifty-nine years after her abduction, they found her living on a reservation near Peru, Indiana. She had been married twice and had borne four children. Frances refused the pleas of her brothers to return to Pennsylvania. The brothers wrote to her and learned many of the details of her abduction and life with American Indians. Frances Slocum died in Indiana in 1847, at the age of 74. Mississinewa Lake in Indiana contains the Frances Slocum State Recreational Area and Lost Sister Trail. Along the Mississinewa River in Indiana, there is a monument that marks the final resting-place of Frances Slocum, also called Maconaquah, the “Young Bear.” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMSKI Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 WTF is wrong with me, I can't read the word "Slocum" without first seeing "Scrotum". I think I have some kind of reading disability or something. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while back, we got a big payment from them and I was discussing it with the treasury manager who said "I'm just gonna sit on Cox for a while"...I couldn't stop laughing 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you gotta rock out with your caulk out. I think the upcoming beginning of ski season is making me silly. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Lessons and tubing begin 12/26. I think that’s when they’ll open the lower lodge and six pack although I won’t count this weekend out. Also there’s no race team at least until the current restrictions end. Could be the best season ever!! Edited December 15, 2020 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 It could also be a glitch because they added a ton more morning passes but for afternoon passes they only did for 12/18. This could be a glitch. #Following 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Let me get everything straight..they are blowing snow at Blue as aggressive as ever, it’s going to snow, there’s no race team and they are limiting ticket sales....I guess every dark cloud has a silver lining. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
