We need pub/bar threads for each resort. Best beer selection. Best service. Best bathrooms.
So word is Blowshoe has a micro brewery, any one been there or tried their beers?
Blowshoe ha-that made me spit soda on my screen! I love to ski there mid-week with good snow but...whoever coined the phrase, “you can’t get there from here” had that place in mind. Most of the time though when I think of snowshoe, once I consider the time and the expense I end up on a plane headed west .
Would that be the Irish Catskills or the Jewish Catskills?Maybe we should have a Catskills thread, a Poconos thread, and an Alleghenys thread named after the mountain ranges the ski area are located.

So what beer do you guys and gals like to drink after a day of bashing bumps to killing blue cruisers?
Serial question since I am make beer professionally now. Working on a ski area specific adult libation.
...Jokingly we used to say that that 6 hour trip to 7 Springs could put us at Sugarbush or Stowe in the same amount of time. Not a choice we would make on our own...

Yeah, I would like to ski Elk someday.
We usually stay in a Comfort Inn in Scranton on the way home from Vermont. There is a view of Montage from the lobby but never been there either. I remember asking the front desk clerk once if the ski hill was open, he answered "what ski hill?" Haha they are all about the skiing in Scranton.
I know exactly what you mean. I always drive right by the Pocono resorts and keep driving until I get to Vermont. With the cost of lodging being roughly equal it makes no sense to me to stop at the lesser hills that have about the same vertical and terrain as resorts that are less than 2 hours from me. There was a brief time a good friend of mine lived and worked in the Poconos. I skied Jack Frost, Big Boulder, Elk, and Blue. My buddy never wanted to ski Camelback, too crowded. The only exception might be Elk. If I'm ever driving by en route from Vermont I might stop for a few hours. That's not too likely. The only resort that was the exception to my 2-hour rule is the ill-fated Timberline, WV. In addition to the Gatherings we held there, I use to do that for a day trip and even paid for overnight lodging on occasion. The one exception I would make for another Pocono visit would be an organized Gathering.
Why would you drive from W Pa to Vermont? That must be brutal. Even with making a pit stop in the Pocono's. Flying out west would take much less time
