Seems Like there are more members these days that frequent the Pocono Area Resorts/Hills.
I figured I would start a thread to get the Stoke going.
and provide a thread to set up some meets and greets
Leaves are starting to Turn, Nights are getting cooler. Time to start our Snow Dance, for another pre thanksgiving opening
Great idea and I will be reviving our local Meet-n-Greet as time draws closer. Got to meet some great local guys to ride with last year. Every year I make more and more riding buddies. Great times !!
Last night only about 9:30'ish was the 1st evening of the year I could now see my breath at night. Looking just over 60 days for us here. Of course with mother natures cooperation.
Moved into a new apartment got the boards out of storage and they are sitting in my living room until I put up the wall racks absolutely killing me. I'm on the second floor hmm maybe if I blast the AC enough I can get a snow machine going in the stairway and build a ramp at the bottom.....
reminder for parents with kids in 4th or 5th grade
Skipa has opened the online ordering for the 4th and 5th grader program.
Best deal for parents $30 for 3coupons good for lift ticket at each resort in pa.
6 for jfbb since they give 3 for jf and 3 for bb
It also includes a free lesson and rental for kid.
My first day riding last year was Thanksgiving at Camelback. If Vermont resorts open in October I may just want to head up there for a 2 day thing. I just can't freaken wait!
I doubt they are going to be do an Oct opening, I mean it's getting cold but it's not that cold yet. I usually go when they open in Nov and the conditions are not that great. It's doable but not great at all, but if you need a fix...
Does anyone remember what day they opened last year? Were they open weekdays right away? I've got off election day and want make that my first day if possible.
I may actually have to turn the heat on this weekend. Seems a week or two earlier than usual. Though the long term isn't really showing sub freezing temps even at night for at least another month.
Killington usually shoots for last weekend in Oct for an opening. With last day of the month falling on a Sat maybe there is a chance for the 24th.

I spent two days at Blue Knob last season. Small hill but I loved it. No fuss, no muss, no fanciness. Just a shack of a lodge and dirt cheap lift tickets. Decent grooming, friendly lifties and new snow on the second day. Bunked down in a cheap hotel in Altoona and found a nice brewpub in town.
I'm going into my third season. I was on a Groupon trip to Montage during my first season when I finally stopped busting my ass and my brain figured out this whole snowboarding thing. It also helped that we arrived during an 18" pow dump. That was my fourth time out on a board and it's the reason I'm an addict now.
So I've got a soft spot for the Poconos and considering making a return this season.
Maybe hit Montage again? Only stuck to the greens last time. Now I'm ready to hit those North Face blacks.
Also considering Blue Mountain because it's a shorter drive.
Killington is open Sunday for season pass and express cards. Monday for general public. Bring on the motherfucking white ribbon of death!
