Comments on: Action Movie? Probably not… http://www.sinanbastas.com/2010/02/03/action-movie-probably-not/ The one-man nation built on observation, introspection and appreciation Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:03:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sinanation » Blog Archive » Camelback, Pocono Mountains, PA http://www.sinanbastas.com/2010/02/03/action-movie-probably-not/comment-page-1/#comment-291 Sinanation » Blog Archive » Camelback, Pocono Mountains, PA Thu, 18 Feb 2010 12:32:05 +0000 http://www.sinanbastas.com/?p=1783#comment-291 [...] What to expect: Camelback is the closest Alpine skiing spot for New Yorkers. The best thing about it is the night skiing that keeps the slopes open until 10 pm. After 5.30 pm half of the skiers on the mountain will disappear and you will have the place to yourself. With that in mind, I still recommend you don’t go to Camelback with huge expectations. There will be a lot of beginners (especially beginner snowboarders) and little children spread around the mountain. The longest slope you are going to be on will take approx. 4-6 minutes to ski down depending on your speed. A regular blue slope in Colorado or Vermont will take at least 10 minutes. Make sure you check the weather the very last minute to guarantee you won’t be stuck in Camelback in rain (like we once did…Action Movie? Probably not…) [...] [...] What to expect: Camelback is the closest Alpine skiing spot for New Yorkers. The best thing about it is the night skiing that keeps the slopes open until 10 pm.
