grafr4:Anyone ever ride at Camelback in PA? I just moved to Jersey from Michigan, and Camel Back is the closest spot to me.
Where in Jersey are you? I'm guessing you're coming up on I-80? I've never been a real fan of the place, I've been flagged twice for going "too fast" but both times the safety patrol agreed that I was in control and no I wasn't on a green. Another time I had a guy blindside me while he was skiing and talking on his freakin' cell at the same time, winded up with a seperated shoulder. Bad vibes aside there's some decent run considering you're in the Poconos, Nile Mile and Pharoh are 2 off the top off my head. The top is annoying flat and you have to skate around and really pump the flats. I've had some really good days there over the years including a legit pow day, 30 inches of fresh. These days it's mostly Blue for me and if I can stand the long drive Elk. Maybe I'll give the Hump another try this season.
Screw Camelback. Head to Blue Mountain or Mountain Creek.
The 'Back has a ton of flats up top and very narrow trails. I try to avoid the place, but it seems like whenever I do go there's always some kid getting brought down the hill on a stretcher.
And, of course, guys in jeans, Starter jackets, and Giants beanies falling off the lifts.
Apparently they're actually going to spend some money on decent rails this year.
I think I'm going to try avoid weekends altogether this year. I never have fun waiting 10 minutes for the lift.

Camelback has the only other flowrider that is anywhere near a snow resort outside of Utah. I'm not sure they run it in the winter, maybe for special events. Our flowrider in Ogden is the only one I know that is open year round and til 10pm nightly. Closed Sundays(Mormon Owners).
