Camelback Mountain Resort announces CBK Turf!
Camelback Mountain Resort in Tannersville is pleased to announce one of its newest attractions! CBK Turf is a great opportunity to put on your skis or snowboard, even before the snow has arrived. Designed for skiers and snowboarders who want to work on their terrain park skills, CBK Turf is made of a synthetic material called Powderpak. The Turf starts at a deck platform drop-in, and continues atop a layer of mulch as a soft base material, giving the surface a snow-like feel.
Currently installed is a 20’ flat down box, and a 12’ round bar. The system is interchangeable, giving Camelback the flexibility to install a variety of features, at any point in time. Don’t expect to be riding on anything that you’ve seen from last winter’s park! “We were really excited to open the turf this past summer, and now to carry it into the fall,” remarks Will Croasdale, Terrain Park Manager at Camelback Mountain Resort. Croasdale continues, “The Turf is a great way for skiers and riders to tune their skills before the mountain is even open.”
CBK Turf is open every Saturday from 11:00am to 4:00pm, until the beginning of the winter season. The fee is just $10.00 per day; Camelback Season Pass holders ride free! Visit www.cbkactionsports.com to learn more, and to download a parental release form for riders under 18. Winter Season Pass holders at Camelback receive perks including direct lift access, first trax, retail discounts, food discounts, and more!
Camelback Mountain Resort is located on Camelback Road via Route 715, off I-80 exit 299 in Tannersville. During the winter sports season, it features 33 trails and 13 lifts, including 2 high-speed detachable quads. Enjoy 100% snowmaking, 100% night skiing, 4 lodges, 2 rental shops, ski school, 2 terrain parks, and halfpipe. Dining and slopeside accommodations are available. Call (570) 629-1661, or visit www.skicamelback.com for more information and to purchase your 2009/2010 Camelback Mountain Resort Season Pass!

Snowfall accumulation in!
Front Lawn today - Friday 10-16-09
Pocono Pines - Well, we were gifted with about 5 inches of snow from Mother Nature yesterday/last night. It didn’t stick to the roads, but it did cover the trees, buildings and forest floor with a cottony thick blanket. The trees do look dangerously close to weighing down the power and phone lines but we seem to have gotten through our first snow just fine. Now let’s all hope that the next storm coming through tonight and Saturday doesn’t take out the power.
Here is a link to the Pocono Record for more information on yesterday’s storm and the one on the way.

First Fall Snow
Pocono Pines – It’s October 15th 2009 and we have our first Snowfall! This is promised as the begining of a three day reminder, (snow showers on and off at our elevation), that winter is even closer then we thought. Now, last year we had our first snowfall in late October, the 28th to be exact, and the accumilation was 12 inches in our neck of the woods.
The children are hoping for an early dismisal today or a delay tomorrow morning from school - a taste of winter fun that only kids can truly enjoy – Adults are getting out the snow shovels and making sure they have the plow service set up. All the time reminding themselves that they know better and should have done it before October 1st.

Though we look forward to winter fun, skiing, ice skating, sledding, snow tubing – we will miss the glorious colors of Fall and the not to distant past Summer days on the lake, we do take pause to enjoy the first flakes that make everything white and clean and signal that it’s just a few months to Spring – a new beginning.
Editor’s Note: Just got an update – 9 -12 inches expected today/overnight – Will let you know what we get tomorrow! Check Back-
