you forgot about montage at least 30 min closer to you, better expert terrain (than elk), better lodge (than elk), better snowmaking (than elk), better parking (than elk)....but i digress.
fwiw, i used to ski alot at CB during highschool and i was also confused alterations they had done on the eastern side of the hill. the last time we have been at CB was for a buckman's demo day during the week.
Yep, forget ELK! Show IL Duce we're not gonna put up with his darned wall ...er fence! Go to Montage!You know, you're right. We should check it out this season, especially with these crowded tidings from CBK. Funny, I used to say the coldest skiing I've ever done was up at Jay Peak in the beginning of January one year. That was until a wicked cold spell a couple years ago -- it was so cold CBK wouldn't open, but we were already up there at a buddy's cabin, so we went to Montage instead. We got off the lift and as soon as we turned into the wind, my younger son started crying. But, in an exercise of not exposing ANY skin, we made a day of it and can say we did. Once my goggles crystallized closed and I couldn't see anymore, that's when we (I) called it.
In my early to mid teenage years, Camelback and Spring Mtn were the only PA hills I skied and I loved that Mtn top restaurant. Good to hear it's back!

For now! That place has opened and closed multiple times in the years since I've been a regular -- I'd bet a lot more than that! Then again, with the new hotel at the bottom of Stevenson, maybe the added traffic will give it a longer life in its current guise.
T-bar on Raceway? Before my time!
I remember Rhododendron Glen and Laurel Glades when they had trees. Also going over the alpine slide when you could cross all the way from The Birches to Rhodo. And the mid station on Sullivan chair.And probably also the case with Rhodedendren Glen being a gladed run
So what you're saying is I haven't skied CB in 36 years!1982

Actually, what's surprising is how LITTLE they've changed the ski area over the years. I would have thought they would have found a way to continue expansion beyond Nile Mile by now. After all it's been 20 years since they added terrain. I think they could add one more sweeping run and still have a return via the old railroad bed down to the Stevenson. Just need to work the State Park angle. Clearly the ski area part has become a sideline.
And The Hump had islands of trees. I remember skiing the T-Bar line during Camelback's first All-Night Ski.I remember Rhododendron Glen and Laurel Glades when they had trees.

Anyone else remember this at Camelback? I tried it once or twice but it was pretty scary. There wasn't much sliding if you went down!
