Oh boy! It looks like the Ice planet Hoth from Empire Strikes Back. Maybe they should change the name from Camelback Ski Resort to "TonTon mountain" ski resort. ae12f4ba712d01e7a97ca2366042683a.jpg

 

I'm getting a kick out of the front-end loader moving snow around? 

Guess they don't want to run the cats over all that snow!

Skied 920 to a little after noon, getting 16 runs in - almost all with Saltyants, who recognized me on my way to the lift. Nice guy and I enjoyed our runs and lift rides.

Awesome morning. Free hot cocoa and cookies at the lift whenever I wanted it. Skied right on to the high speed lift all AM without a single delay. Nice blue top to bottom run with no crowds. Good surface, covered at least 90% of trail width. Only bit that was a bit slick was fairly flat. 

At $25 all in all the best opening day of the 3 PA ones I have attended this year.

Blue (2nd place) got extra credit for pulling it off 8 days earlier, but lost serious points for that close to 30 min lift stoppage that got me to call it a day after 9 runs. 

Shawnee comes in 3rd with only a green open and less trail width - But every PA area that plays the "open by Dec 2" game is a winner in my book.

I second that! Pics please, for I need to decide whether to go to CB tomorrow or just stay home. BM was pretty sick today afternoon. 

Upper Marc Antony - Decent, a little tracked early on but improved throughout the day

Salty how long did you ski till?

 

From first chair, which arrived approximately 8:40 AM, to 4:00 PM. Only took a break with Ski2Live for free cookies and hot chocolate for skiing fuel. Otherwise just kept doing runs all day long.
