Weekday crew FTW. In fact I'm here now at Blue.I suggest if you can swing it to do weekdays. Unfortunately after ten years the kids now have no interest in skiing. I'm going back to riding now...

Sounds about right...Add in the terrain is awful and boring, the conditions always suck and its terribly overpriced...The fact that Mt Creek is more expensive then Belleayre always cracks me up.Mt Creek over the weekend. Had some fun with fam and friends but the weekends are absolutely crazy over there. Lift lines weren't bad at Vernon or Granite but it's kind of like skiing in midtown traffic.
South is brutal. The features are great and really well set up but the "scene" is idiotic. It's basically an open bar with yahoos yelling send it and smoking butts. And the litter is something l'll never understand. Who raised these people?? The Trashheap?
As seen on the Granite lift line.....Id take these two all day over "riders" at South.
im headed to hunter on feb 8th. doesnt seem to make sense to go to the poconos. itll still be a pretty brutal day trip to go up and back. hopefully the better terrain is worth it. its a real bummer i cant get out more.

I took my son to campgaw on Saturday...WAY better than Mt Creek imo...Less of a shit show, prices arent outrageous...granted hes only 3 so were not doing anything past the magic carpet yet...but didnt have to worry about an army of drunks running him over.Once you start skiing with kids you need to bite the bullet and ski boring terrain as painful as it is.
I bought half a dozen 3 plays for $80 when they went for sale. Go one more time and it's paid off.Sounds about right...Add in the terrain is awful and boring, the conditions always suck and its terribly overpriced...The fact that Mt Creek is more expensive then Belleayre always cracks me up.
With regards to PA vs NY....Mostly I would lean to Belleayre over anything of equivalent driving time in PA...but I think Elk mountain is at least on par with Belleayre and Hunter tho...

If you go there with your kid, stay at the Scribner. It's never cheap, but the the grotto pool its a hit with the little ones afterwards.im headed to hunter on feb 8th. doesnt seem to make sense to go to the poconos. itll still be a pretty brutal day trip to go up and back. hopefully the better terrain is worth it. its a real bummer i cant get out more.

The worst part of MC is that no one working there gives two shits. Shawnee was open 3 weeks after MC closed for the season last year. Everyone one there just waits for the spring thaw to close shop. Last weekend, the trail to the gondola is going brown while the features are like 20 ft high, what the hell you doin?I hate MC. The gondola takes forever and a lot of people like rest in the middle of trails.

This is my first season pass at Blue and prior to that was 3 seasons at CB. To be honest, I like the snow grooming better at CB. I just don't remember as many ice patches there compared to Blue.Other than Elk, Blue Mountain is the best in Eastern PA. No comparison to Camelback or anything else in the Poconos.

Blue has some magic ability to turn everything into ice chunks.
