saltyant Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) According to skicamelback.com, the new trail, Scarab, enables access from the West to the East side, and connects the two HSQs. It's also one of the most aesthetically pleasing trails as it faces the entire Pocono Mountain and Catskill Mountain ranges, as far as you can see. I presume it connects the top of Sullivan HSQ (West) to the bottom of Stevenson HSQ (East), but you can already move between these two points various ways using existing trails. It's mind boggling predicting where Scarab will be - is it going to create hazardous intersections through multiple trails? Or is it going to be a tiny 100-200 foot connector as predicted in RED below?? Can't wait to find out!! Do any of PASR's Camelback subject matter experts (SMEs) have any thoughts?

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 It will take many seasons to explore all the nooks and crannies of the new trail at camelback. They should build a small warming hut halfway down it for people to take a breather and catch their bearings. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably ski those two trails the least so I'm totally fine with that. Maybe I'll give them a go and catch some mad air (literally 1 inch off the ground).

Next time I go to Camelback I'll bring my ultra high powered binoculars and try to find a faint outline of the Catskills on a clear day. 17 minutes ago, GrilledSteezeSandwich said: It will take many seasons to explore all the nooks and crannies of the new trail at camelback.

Will probably get the Triple Ticket package and maybe we can have PASR day at Camelback to explore the new trail. TP4 and Toast are already lead pipe locks.

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 As long as it doesnt take them 5 years from showing it as "coming soon" on a trail map to actually opening it, I will give them a pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick google search to learn more informed me that it was an important insect to the Egyptians, so I guess it goes with some of their other trail names. Apparently sacred, and found in many heiroglyphic images. Makes more sense now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
