Sounds like the Truama Neuro Intensive Care at Lehigh Valley Hospital.

Rule of thumb when dealing with head injuries, if its clear and sticky leave it alone. Cerebral Spinal Fluid is no joke, sounds like you ruptured the blood membrane in the brain.

Did you get a medevac ride at least?

I rode at Bear Creek like crazy in 06, didnt ride last year (wasnt really that good of conditions)... hoping to ride this year though.

That usually the only place I'll go unless my friends drag me out to Mountain Creek. My boy goes to school up near Camelback too, so I might pop up there this year since he lives close.

Im so local to Bear Mountain I just go to the bar there :)

Or the tavern down the street if Im low on cash and standards lol.

We did a trip to Camelback last year...we're in the process now of setting up this winters

100% agree wear your helmets!! it saved my life when i was practcing for a comp hit a 40' booter somehow spun too far offf axis landed on my head i deff wouldnt be here today if it wasnt for my helmet. oh and i ski evreywhere up the east coast but mostly at bear since its a couple minutes away

went to shawnee mtn yesterday, which was a sheet of ice

going to killington next weekend though :cool:

you go to spring mt at all? we're pretty much in the middle of both. i like bear creek better.

I used to go there, but then I realized that I hated the crowd there.. Too many people and too much money for what it was worth.

I love Bear Creek and now that I'm of age, I will be there at the bar when I'm not riding.

It was actually up at Sugarbush, North. I don't know what they call it now.

Yes I was heli-lifted off the mountain but I don't remember any of it, obviously. Too bad, too, who knows if I'll ever get another helicopter ride in my life. :o

good to see there are a few bear creek locals on here. the last 5 years in a row, bear's pretty much been my winter home haha. hell i worked there 4 of 5 years lol.

if anyone has any suggestions for the park and wants them sent right to the top, let me know. my brother is a year-round park crew employee (welding, fab, maint.) and is the park crew asst. manager. he's in the groomer every night.

we should definitely get some people together and head up there and ride once the season gets moving. of course a stop at (and then return to) the bar will be manditory haha.

^im game. i believe i heard they do something for new years eve. anyone know of this? i think that would be a cool thing to get a bunch of people to go to. and i hate not being 21 hot chocolate for me! f***

yeah new years at BC is usually pretty cool. it's hit or miss though, sometimes there's not much going on. they do stay open til 1am though, instead of 10pm like usual.. so thta's pretty cool.

I've been to Snow and boulder already this year....and Mt. Creek finally opened today so im set... anybody ride up there?

i've never been to mtn creek, but being 'in' with the BC crew puts me in a bit of a biased position when it comes to anything to do with mtn creek. lol all the BS they pull with advertising and trash talking every other mtn in the few magazine articles they've had written... it makes me not want to go there.

how's boulder so far? i've never been there either, but i think i will probably go sometime this year.

do you know suzie lowe and wes lowe? Owners of vt north ski shop?

i ride at creek and i like it bc i ride all park

Names ring a bell, I did go to VT North every now and then, but no I didn't know them personally. :o

oh.. suzie and wes are my aunt and uncle thats why i asked. they own vt north now

i figured i would bring this thread back. who has gone riding a lot this year? i went to sugarbush for a long weekend and i go to mountain creek usually 2-3 days a week.

anyone on here ride at mountain creek?

I was at Jack Frost last Friday and Camelback today (free tix, thanks Subaru!).
I'm trying to get out more this year than I have been the past couple. Going to school in CO really ruins you once you move back east... hard to stay motivated.

ive been to mountain creek 4 times this year
mount snow around 4 also
okemo over 10(i love their parks)
hunter once
gore once
and a local mountain(thunder ridge) for night riding out of complete boredom on most nights (the actual park sucks so they pretty much just allow you to build features in the park area plus theres a bunch of inperfections in trails so its somewhat like backcountry riding) its basically a ghetto mountain lol.



sometimes ill wear a helmet if not i usually wear a hat, goggles, a hoodie, and snowpants. park only days i wear a helmet but usually an open hoodie with a tshirt under it and basketball shorts since hiking back up the park sucks in heavy and bulky gear unless its below like 10 degrees outside

**note: helmets DO NOT do anything when you smack your goggles into a rail.**
