Any bets when the slopes open?

[Finndog]

Any bets on the first hill and first day for this area (blue, Poconos NOT ELK)

 

I am betting Camelback, December 15th and I hope I'm wrong!

[skidude]

Blue is as far out of the poconos as elk is...>Its just that blue and elk are south/north...

[skidude]

if we are being technical...but=south of pononos, elk=north of poconos

shawnee november 25th?

[Sno Mountain Skier]

Shawnee 26th.

[lurker]

Unless the new Camelback management goes crazy, and from what I can tell on their site, thats not their plan, Shawnee will open first with a couple crappy runs like always. Not that that's bad. Skiing is skiing right? So my educated guess is:

 

Shawnee 25/26.

I'm going to have to go with Shawnee on the 26th. They'll do it just so they can say they opened in November.

[Finndog]

Aren't all the runs at Shawnee crappy.........

[poconoceancity]

I consider Blue to be part of the southern Poconos...BC and Spring are part of the Philadelphia Suburbs.

[NJSkiFamily]

I'm going to say CB opens on December 10th.

[Papasteeze]

I'm saying CB is open right now. Just don't get caught!!

[Timeless]

CB, December 3rd

Shawnee November 25th

Blue, who cares

I do, so i'm guessing around the 10th-15th

CB will either open around thanksgiving with just OK coverage (very unlikely)

Or wait till like Dec 10th and open with very good covarage and a bigger number of trails

 

I'm betting on the second one.

Check the 15 day forecast, it looks like the blowing right now is pointless because it should be in the upper 40s and 50s in 13 days.

If they can put enogh down before the temps go back up it has a decent chance of surviving.

Yeah, but less so if they are open.
