Skiing

[Seabiscuit36]

Yeah, and the eagles are going to the championship.   

[ice grillin you]

I think the name of the mountain/resort I went to was called Gore Valley or Gore Mountain.....something like that

gore mountain...i have a house about a half hour from it on lake george

i dont ski but from what ive heard gore mountain is a really good place for beginners

and up there you could look for a cabin or house to rent on lake george as opposed to something at gore mountain....the lake and surrounding areas up there are gorgeous

They have tons of snow up at Jack Frost and Big Boulder, Poconos, PA. By February they'll have even more

If you see any fast skiers, make sure and call Andy to let him know.

Ill be going skiing for the first time in February. Some questions...

What are the best places to go within a couple hours from central Jersey?
Should I rent a cabin/hotel? Probably gonna have 6-8 people.
Should I take lessons first?
Will I be able to reant everything I need onsite?
Why cant Andy Reid win a big game?

Help.

Go to Shawnee.  Good beginner hill.  On Central/Northern Jersey PA border.  Equipment rentals on site.  Rental condos close to slopes.  Book in advance on line.  If you can skateboard you can ski.  If not take the lesson.  Easiest way to learn how to ski is remember the skiing motion is like pedaling a bike.  Keep the edges of your skis facing downhill.  Don't cross your tips.  Keep your legs together.  Its pretty easy once you get the hang of it.  Like sledding standing up.  Most people take a season or two until they get the hang of it so don't get discouraged.
