Pat's Plan

We were originally going to Belleyare on Saturday for our ski trip. Because the Poconos got some good snow we chose to go to the closer mountain with the better snow. Pat chose to delay the trip one day hoping that the Giant/Eagles game would lead to shorter lines at the lifts and less crowds on the trails.

It seems as though he was correct. (I wonder how much $ Camelback lost due to the game). For the amount of snow that they got the lines were pretty short (though very slow moving). The trails were not nearly as crowded as I remember them being. The snow was the best I ever remember Camelback having. It was a great day for Skiing and the normal feeling of starting over was not with me that day. I felt good and Pat even said I was looking better.

It has been a few years since we have skied Camelback and they have taken the locker rooms out in favor of an expanded rental room. That means you need to come prepared to change outside or in a restroom stall. It is the WORST design for a ski 'resort' ever. I came prepared in my ski cloths but could not change into my regular cloths when we were done, which I do not like at all. I feel bad for anyone that does not know and has to change in those tiny bathroom stalls. Pat put the rest of his cloths on in the hall of the repair shop (luckly he has his lower layers on already). Changing outside is wet and cold. I doubt we will go back to Camelback anytime soon.
