skidude Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 Has anyone heard of Big Bear? http://www.ski-bigbear.com/ This is the first time I have ever heard of it. www.skipa.com doesn't even have it. Just wondering.
AtomicSkier Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 I heard of it and its not a big ski area. hmm where is it? i've never heard of it
skidude Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Posted May 5, 2004 Just emailed them and asked Vert and why they have no ads anywhere "Our mountain was first developed in 1976. Our vertical is 650'. Our website is www.ski-bigbear.com. We have a very loyal customer base. We are known for our friendly staff, great snow (the owners still make and groom it) and lack of lines. Because we aren't very well known people enjoy coming to our mountain and bringing their friends. They feel like it is their place, their great secret. Hopefully you will make it up to check us out next season. Lori Phillips Ski Big Bear"
skigurl Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 seems like a cool place to go and just hang out and ski for fun...
skidude Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Posted May 5, 2004 I'll have to try it out next season Don't forget to drop a few PASR flyers on the cars windshilds when you leave
ERS Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 (edited) Don't worry. That makes me wonder, what does DaveK's car look like? Edited May 5, 2004 by ERS
skidude Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Posted May 5, 2004 Hmmm I don't think that picture is very approprate....The umm clown needs to be wider
Ski Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 Has anyone heard of Big Bear? http://www.ski-bigbear.com/ This is the first time I have ever heard of it. www.skipa.com doesn't even have it. Just wondering. Big Bear doesn't even advertise locally. It's about 20 minutes from my house and I've never seen anything about it other than a little brochure that was a few years old. Costa's Family park---the ad on their main page-- has great batting cages, though, with a home run fence. We hit there three or four times a week.
ERS Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 February 25th - March 4th2.99 Nights - Lift Tickets available on Wednesday and Thursday nights from 5pm-9pm for only 2.99. That's definately worth taking a look at.
nick malozzi Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 seems like a cool little place. quite a hike for me though. i knew the name sounded familiar, thats cause it is up sorta by lake walempalmpac. i used to go up there for the majority of my summers. family has since sold the place we had there. no TP at that place though whcich prolly makes you skiiers happy, haha. maybe jeff can cart our asses up there one day next year just to try it out, but thats a hell of a hike from philly, lol.
forumpl155 Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 i believe a girl i knew that was her local mountain. said it was pretty good and chill
AtomicSkier Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 $2.99, dam. i could go for that...and yea, if thats near wallenpaupack, we have a house bout 15 minutes up the road (which is 5 minutes from ski999, we could egg his house)
Ski Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 $2.99, dam. i could go for that...and yea, if thats near wallenpaupack, we have a house bout 15 minutes up the road (which is 5 minutes from ski999, we could egg his house) We have gates and armed patrols. We are uneggable. I am, however, sitting in your lake house living room right now. I notice that you have an incredible number of dirty magazines and cans of tuna fish. But you need bread.
skidude Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Posted May 5, 2004 Ski If we wanted we could Egg you...But how bout you just let us ski at your private guarded hill?
skidude Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Posted May 5, 2004 NOTE: Topic Was too whored and split over to http://www.therealcb.com/index.php?showtopic=429 Now back to Big Bear
Ski Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 CB is 40 miles of back roads from here; Blue is 60 or so. People around Lake Walenpaupack ski Tanglwood, which overlooks the lake, and then drive over to Montage or up to Elk for more vertical. I don't think I've ever met someone up here that's ever skied Blue, except to race.
Ski Posted July 5, 2004 Report Posted July 5, 2004 Hey, 'Dude, I was looking for something and found this thread. How did you happen across this place? When I first read your post, I thought you meant Mount Tone. I could see this place getting a few people on the weekends, but I can't picture a single skier/boarder being there on a Tuesday night. I ran the hill today and checked some of the other slopes for grass (none, just rocks and weeds). BTW, Atomic, it's 14 miles northeast of Lake Walenpaupack...
