Spring bumps within day trip drive from North Jersey?

[jaywbigred]

Anyone know of any good spring bumps within a couple hrs of northern NJ? Camelback, Shawnee, Blue, Jack Frost, Mt. Creek, Bellayre, Hunter, Windham? Anywhere else I'm missing? 2.5 hrs or less ideally...Looking to make a day trip Saturday.

I'd guess either Belleayre or Hunter. I make either from my place in an hour 45 minutes.

Belleayre had several bump runs. I was there yesterday and conditions are still amazing. Bumps looked pretty solid beneath the loose snow. Temps have stayed pretty cool at night, so some ice in the base has been pretty well preserved.

What's your route to Belleayre? I'm in Hardyston now and it took me 2:15 to get to Belleayre.

Looks like its gonna be Belleayre. Takes me 2 hrs and change from Morristown, but I drive a little fast.

I'm right on the Wantage-Unionville border. I take SR284-->US6-->I84-->Thruway-->SR28

I think Hunter regularly closes off their best bump run to preserve it for events; or there may be another reason, but it seems that their best bumps are very often closed off with the dayglo tape.

I recently saw a bunch of guys ignoring a 'closed' sign and going down some bumps, too; so they must have been desperate.
