Do they have nice beginner trails?Not talking about bunny, but a nice ride down the mountain but nothing too dangerous.
Thanks
ALSO if it is 36 deg, is it still a good idea to go?Will it be all wet and slushy?
This will be my 2nd time going to a ski resort
Very informative! l am actually going this Sunday.This will be my second time skiing.l already know how to turn and stop.A little shaky, but l think good enough.l hope the weather stays cool enough this Sunday.l heard Saturday is real cold so that should help with things.THANKS!

Yes it will be slushy. It has been raining all day here in the wonderful Poconos. We picked up 3 inches of snow & it is all MUSH.that is why l am in here writing stuff on instead of being outside in the snow.

Camelback is notorious for getting icy. It has a northern exposure & the place loves to freeze up, so if it stays above freezing it will be slushy. If it freezes it will be like boilerplate.

l am sure fellow Top Contributor ''NJGit'' can answer with some more detail.he works there.

Thanks Willie D for the email.

l only work on the weekends but l know it was closed today due to weather. Probably due to wind & the mix of rain & snow. l would go to skicamelback.com & check the conditions page as well as calling the number on the web page for the conditions. There is a link to accuweather on the conditions page. The good thing about Camelback is that it is usually colder & has better snow than a lot of the surrounding areas like Blue Mtn.

If it is above freezing then it is not good unless it has been cold for a while. As long as it is not raining the slopes have been holding up pretty well. The major thing to worry about is winds though. If there is a big temp change then the winds will come & then they will have to shut down the high speed detachable quad chairs. The fixed lifts r smaller & slower.

The groomers & snowmakers have been doing a great job when it is cold enough to make snow. There is supposed to be some overnight snow & temps r supposed to be in the 20 is so they should be able to have the mountain in decent shape until Sunday when there is supposed to be some more wet stuff.

When r u heading up? Update ur question & I''ll let u know if l hear anything from anyone up there.

The best beginner slope is the Sunbowl. It is really wide & has a lodge at the base. It is down the hill on the left from the main lodge. The other one is Coolmor & that is all the way on the right facing the mountain & is narrower & a little smaller.

The best novice trail is Nile Mile. It is all the way on the East side of the mountain & is accessed by the Stevenson lift. As u face the mountain it is all the way down on the left past the Sunbowl lodge & Glen Lodge. If u get there early then u can have it to yourself practically.

OK please do not take this as being condescending but there is a major misconception with trail ratings. Bunny slopes r the beginner slopes. At Camelback they r marked with a blue snowflake on the maps. The novice ( green circle) slopes r for people that have enough skill to turn & stop with a decent degree of confidence & may have parts with a decent bit of slope to it. If u r a beginner then technically u should stay off them. I'd be remiss if l did not mention that. There is a learning hill that is tiny so if that is what u mean by bunny slope then please pardon my confusion.

If u need any help feel free to ask a Ski Patroller (Red jackets with white cross), Ranger ( Yellow & black jacket with black diamonds), or instructor (Blue jacket with Camelback ski school lettering on front) & they will steer u in the right direction.
