20-Mar

Blue Mountain

Corn

Bittersweet day. Mucho sun and blue skies. Temps in the upper 40s to 50s. Beers, pond skimming and friends. Awesome year.

If Camelback is open next Saturday I guess I'm there.

Such a good time yesterday. Man can the Blue Crew drink 'em. I've got a ton of pics and maybe some video I'll post once I sober up a bit more. Who would of guessed it's easier to fly a kite via a Subie in the parking lot then it is from the lift? For now, this sums up the day pretty well.

Great Job Blue Crue

Looks like you guys closed the season in a style I approve of. Blue was great this season and did another awesome job with the bumps. I enjoyed my several visits there this year and will return next year too. Great to meet Gorganzola and Root this year too. I was up north this past weekend but my wife said CBK was still skiable for all you pass holders. I give the Pocono season high grades this year.

How's Camelback looking for this coming weekend? Any spring bumps? Anywhere else in the vicinity open?

I may drive up from DC and meet a friend from NJ for a day or two this weekend.

Camelback will be open only on Saturday. At 5:00 pm its lights out for the season. Should be bumps on Lower Cleo but that is it. Would recommend heading further north if possible. Catskills seem to be hanging in there well.

Thanks for the info. Looking for a shorter trip from DC before flying to Tahoe next weekend. Might head to Timberline, WV for its closing weekend, but the appeal of Camelback is I'd have someone to ski with.

Looks like I may get one last hurrah in Thursday. They aren't perfect but sometimes they do some really good things just like this. My wife told me it was great last Saturday (I was up north) so it should be pretty good this weekend too. Good job CBK.:flag:

It looks like Elk is going to be open Friday and Saturday too.

Ya that was priceless. I have video of following the ski patroller coming down chasing after everyone. He gave up on the last turn down toward home stretch.
