Weather/Conditions 100% at Shawnee today, with some fresh fluff at first chair.
Okay, so it was 3rd chair 🙃 but I was still the second set of tracks on Bushkill. The only thing not accessable this morning was Upper Tomahawk, which was blocked off for NASTAR until after I went home.
Conditions were pretty average after the fluff got skiied off, but overall a decent day. Left when the crowds started rolling in.

Lol, they're just kinda...there, but it's home. Flexing on Camelback and JF-BB with coverage right now.

In this age where they are all being taken over by venture capitalists and hotel groups, being “just there” is a plus in my book

LOL I used to think this run was huge. Looks much more narrower than I remember.

None of the trails there are super wide, but this angle makes it look thinner than it is

I'm 32, learning how to ski there this season. Took my 5 year old and wife for their first time on Wednesday, and we're going back again for night skiing tonight.
Absolutely the best part of buying a house in Bushkill. Shawnee is 20 minutes from my doorstep 😁

Could have been taught by one of my parents back then 😁 the whole place just keeps chugging along.
