paappraiser Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hey Pocono carvers ( I know there at least 5 of you out there) I was wondering what trails at what resorts you found most carve freindly ? Ive this year mostly been only able to get to blue mt. The mountain is so groomed almost any trail can be used thats not crowded. Ive been wondering about shawnee, camelback, elk etc (Never liked the short runs on Jack frost) Comments? Ive been wanting to run to greek peak in Ny.. comments?

b_w Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 If you've never been, go check out Elk. Lots of nice cruisers. Susquehanna is a nice wide trail that helped me gain alot of confidence on the steeps (no worries of running out of room). Much less crowd than some of the other pocono resorts. Only downside is the slow-mo lifts, but I'm out of shape anyway so I can always use the rest. my $.02---Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharples Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 the Pocono Raceway at Camelback I found makes a nice carving trail. might be hitting it up this Sunday if they have the NASTAR slalom gates up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I have not been to the Poconos, but I have been to Greek several times. Greek is a pretty nice place to carve. Definitely worth going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 These are my two favorite, but I met a guy last week that said Elk has opened up a good bit since the last time I was there about 9 years ago, so I am interested in heading up to check it out. Keep in mind we are trying to organize a carvers day at Blue, so keep checking the regional rider threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricky Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Are any of you Pennsylvania Carvers planning to come to the Windham Carvefest, February 25-26? See the Bomer Ride Board for more info. Hope to see you there. Bricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinpa Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I'll agree with Raceway at Camelback. I taught at Camelback for two years and found that Raceway didn't get too crowded because most people don't make it over there. If the lift is running there, it's an added bonus, but may make it more crowded. Another good one is the Meadows. It's more on the right side. Not real steep, but it is real wide. You gotta watch though that some people don't come flying straight down that one. At Shawnee, I'd sugest Bushkill. A little more pitch at the top, but then flattens out. I forget the name of the other slope, but it's under a chair in the middle of the mountain. That one gets crowded though. It's blue at the top and black at the bottom.
