saltyant Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 (edited) At Camelback, greatest mountain in the world, rode with some eccentric old guy that was probably abducted by aliens. He says Camelback can't blow a lot of snow because they only have one snowmaking retention pond which is near the new Sullivan Six pack, and apparently the pond was full of mud recently! Everyone pray for rain so Camelback can refill its one snowmaking pond! Skiing was pretty good for the first hour and a half. Hump and Asp were very nice, just a little mashed perdatery on the flat run back to the lift. King Tut was garbage. The greens off the Nastar Glenn lift were nice and found some fresh courdoroy around 10 am. Once everyone found that area it got a little chunky. Overall a grate day at Camelback and exceeded my expectations until around 11 am. Edited January 1 by saltyant 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Thanks for the report Salty, I was just about to ask you how camelback has been this season. Looks like they have more base than Blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll change next week if we get some cold weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a pump station at the creek accessed from behind the residential ski condos right around the sharp bend before the parking lit.

He reminded me of one of those crazy conspiracy theorist guys from GTA San Andreas or disaster movies. Like he was a character straight outta a Vidya game. He might have said the water ponds for those are used for other purposes, but I don't really recall exactly what he was talking about.

Will you be at the Camel at all mid week this week? I believe I will check it out for some laps since Blue The True announced the terrain park will be closed January 2-5 for snowmaking and a refresh. Lets do some laps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time! @DiMe sometimes says that Nile Mile is now at Blue Mountain, on Trail Coming Soon or something. So this season I can ski Nile Mile at both Blue and Camelback!!

They’re going to have to order another camel costume. @saltyant are you a furry fucker or was that somebody else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixilplix happy new year and thanks for bringing up Rajeev it has been long time since he has stopped in. Last I heard he was in Mumbai for the monsoon to help his relatives who can’t swim get across the river. Then he travelled to hill station to do snowboard and his sister Jaya make good goat. His cousins own the Dunkin’ Donuts in tobyhanna. Plenty of Boston cream when Rajeev is in town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might prefer a cream delight instead…it’s a whiter cream..Boston cream isn’t really cream it’s custard lol but don’t want this conversation to become to off pudding lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
