My 20th time up for the season was on the least exciting hill but one of the most epic experiences. Camelback Mountain Resort in the Poconos of Pennsylvania is far from the amazing terrain you’ll find at Crystal Mountain in Washington, or Whistler up in BC. However, riding with my brothers still remains the most fun I can possibly have shredding on any hill.
The snow was what you would expect from a lackluster winter in the Northeast. Machine generated large grainy snow that was semi soft due to higher than average winter temps. It was fast though. I hit over 50mph several times as we pushed our abilities to the limit for the pursuit and need for speed.
It was John and Daves first and likely last times up this year. So we made it count racking up 25 runs in an afternoon filled with heroism, ski shaming, laughter, and child like enthusiasm.
Enjoy
