Stevo Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 This reminds me of a project happening in NJ for an indoor ski slope. Summer 2007, if i recall correctly. Lemme do some digging... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be at the Meadowlands in NJ and I think there is a thread in the lounge with all of the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJSkiFamily Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I think the developer is in serious financial trouble. At cb on Saturday I saw this HUGE hawk flying above the slopes - you know the snow must be melting fast for this bird to be taking a look for a meal. This thing looked like a red-tailed hawk but I've never seen them that big in NJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorovr Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I just conference called Jesus, Buddha, and Allah and they said that there is no skiing where they grew up. Be happy with what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skigurl Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 not depressed yet, i still have 3 days out west Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am476 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 i'm always depressed this time of year. the meadowlands thing is supposed to be open in the summer of 2007, but i don't see them being on time with that project. it's supposed to be a huge complex (called Xanadu) with a shopping mall (cause jersey seriously needs another one), rock climbing, and other sports stuff including an indoor ski place. however, i think the indoor ski place will end up basically being a bunny hill. i might do it once or twice during the summer, but it will probably be boring. it might be okay if they include a terrain park, at least for snowboarders. i think the indoor european places are the same deal. it's more worth it to make a trip out to south america to go skiing in the andes than to europe for an indoor bunny hill.

mbike-ski Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 A good hike is the Appalachian trail right behind Blue, Its fun to do quickly - wouldn't really say "run". Its rocky/hilly and "hopping" them is great cross training for skiing and skating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexkitten Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 That's a hike I've done many times before and the short rock scrambling section is fun. The hike I do the most often is West of Blue mountain ski area between Little Gap and Lehigh Gap. I always like the view of Palmerton and the old mines and there are hardly any trees which makes for lots of good off trail hiking. I like to hike in sandals but after a few encounters with snakes anymore, I'm not hiking in my Tevas anymore. Last summer I was taking a piss in the woods and a snake slithered right across my bare toes, I jumped about 6 feet in the air and shrieked like a little girl. Wild turkey also freak me out a little bit. Maybe the snake saw your "you know what" and thought it was another snake. Maybe the snake was like "Hey, why is there an anaconda in Palmerton?" Sorry, I couldn't resist. Hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_rider Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Guys I hope you'll be happy to hear I got the DL from a liftie at bear today, long story how but the temps are dropping this week and their ideal would be to blow snow thursday friday and saturday but their not totally sure they'll be able to drop it that whole time. Please realise this was from a liftie so I'm not totally sure about it just what I've heard but hey let's hope for the best! if not I think I'll end up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
righthandedlefty Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I dunno man. The way the ski patrol have been acting when asked if bear will blow snow anymore you would think its a crime to blow snow. I think we will see @least 1 night of blowing,but I think thats all. Its sad to say but Its looking true. This amazing weather has really taken a toll on the slopes,sadly. ..adam.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbike-ski Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 The things that freak me out more than snakes when I'm hiking/biking the trail are hunters/poachers, bears, and naked homeless people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never listen to ski patrol about blowing snow, as for on site I want to know where this 42 inches of base is hiding out besides we've got pond skimming this weekend so why not just go with it and hope for the best?

I got a text like 2 hours ago from my liftie friend saying that it was dead and the conditions are insane*sarcasm* and that there will be nomore snowblown this season. ..adam..
