Alex,

Can't promise squat but have mucho interest in the said pocono tour.
Regards,

Tarp:

Definately want to do it just gotta work out the details. Looking for that stretch of weather that will make it awesome.(you know thats hard to come by in the Pocono's) Blue and Camelback were great this past weekend. Gonna do Elk/Camelback this coming weekend. Praying for a good snow because that will only make it better. These areas really seem to have gotten it this year. Maybe we have Sundown to thank for that. I've done some of the best Pocono skiing ever in my almost 45 years of skiing. Will keep in touch with you and Root and see what we can work out.

Camelback's got at least one too. The Pocono's might not be the biggest or snowiest but they are providing some pretty good skiing entertainment these days.

I understand completely and agree anyone can have a pretty steep pitch. I just didn't think there was enough sustained vertical pitch to warrant such a tool.

What I'm really giddy about down here is that these tools are allowing for some really good bump skiing this year. I was talking to a guy yesterday at Blue who was commenting that the winch cat was allowing for the bumps on Challange. I know that Camelback uses them on the front four and Cliffhanger. Keeps the snow up on the hill. It may be barely but these places have enough steep vertical (and traffic pushing snow down the mountain) to make them worth while.

Yeah, the second set of bumps on Challenge were done much better then the first attempt. I guess there is a learning curve to this stuff.
