It means you right... as usual...

Correctomundo!

No I'm left...Your right... right?

Sometimes. Not always though. I kinda lean right, I guess.

Fact is we're both probably pretty moderate... I just got a thing for hippy chicks...

So where are we on the consensus of the good/better/best ski areas in Eastern PA?

Elk?
Camelback?
Jack Frost?
Sno?
Blue?
Blue Knob?

*before anyone gets their panties all bunched up, that list is in no particular order. Yet.

White girls with dreads: Hot or not?

 

[dmc]

I was always into Elk for a day trip and Blue for night skiing...

There will never be a consensus, everyone has there favorites. Lots of big time Sunday River fans on here and others who hate the place. Almost everyone digs Sugarbush, but some thing it's over rated. Even the starter of this thread's home mountain is a bit of a spark plug of debate (Whiteface). There are several loyalists, but many who think the skiing is far superior in Northern VT.

The countryside looks and feels a lot like the Poconos up here but the skiing in the Poconos is better.

this thread is awesome. anyone that reads it and can't chuckle needs to step away from the internetz for a while.


this thread is also timely...i'm looking to book a long weekend (thurs-sun) at the end of this month and was looking for something in NE PA...can drive there in 4-5 hours from annapolis, MD. we have 2 kids (8 & 6) who are in their 2nd full season of skiing (we got 12 days on skis last year, including 4 days at bromley/magic, and just 2 days the year before).

primary requirements for our trip: minimal ice! minimal crowds! above average amenities/lodging. terrain is not a priority at this point since the kids are just starting to tackle low intermediates.

any suggestions will be appreciated!

i never skiied sno or blue...my experience with the others was 20 years ago, so about all i really remember is the terrain...i've skiied blue knob (technically it's in west PA) 8-10 times and elk twice...feel pretty confident in saying those would be the top 2 for terrain. if blue knob got elk's snow i think it would win hands down. not sure where blue stacks up with those.


thanks in advance for any trip recs.

Word of advice...
Don't light up a butt on the chair at Sno without first checking your life insurance...
Don't piss off anyone at Blue - they could be related to Ski Patrol...

Camelback....

 

[happyjack]

Camelback....

yeah...that seems to match my recollections of my one trip there back in the 80s. couldn't believe the number of dudes in leather jackets and jeans. just proves that stereotypes are often rooted in fact.
