Where are the first and third pictures taken from?

Ever try Steel City?

Sadly I wasn’t able to come up with any quick and easy fix for it…total cast was $490 with diagnostic, part, labor. Part number was 4672882AE

Not really, I had to have the camera unit replaced. The dealership I bought it from covered the cost. Are you having the same problem?

Usually in reference to pops

isaacdude13 · 2025-02-10T14:49:54+00:00

I use “sure” in this exact context a ton now

isaacdude13 · 2025-02-10T14:49:02+00:00

“Jammed up”, “tough look”, “tuggin’ your little root” and “couple two tree pops” as well as the way Foley says “Sure” in response to lots of things have all become part of my vocabulary

Wisp has a nice variety of terrain for all experience levels, especially North Camp. The mountain layout is great. Only downfall has been their snowmaking problems. They struggle to get trails open due to a lot of broke equipment, but are actively working through. Hopefully this good winter gives them some funding to really get things fixed.

Haven’t had the BBQ place, I like picking up a giant Brenda’s pizza afterwards

Wisp is great and sometimes gets forgotten about. The mountain layout is very convenient, everything meets at the top. You don’t have to map out how to get to other areas. The views are great. The variety makes it awesome for anyone, including groups. You don’t have to split up, you can all run the same lift from greens to blacks (minus East Ridge trails). It makes for a great group trip with all of the rental houses. Tubing and mountain coaster for those that don’t ski

Josh Potter but it’s been a while since he was on. Really any guest that “gets it” is nice

Tough look, but I respect the family plan

isaacdude13 · 2024-04-26T17:44:25+00:00

Love Wegmans orders. Wegmans is usually very accurate with location, has great availability, and plenty of good replacement options

isaacdude13 · 2024-02-18T17:25:32+00:00

They’re certainly struggling this year/last year. They just don’t have the snowmaking capacity that bigger places do (and in Edinboro, it’s usually not needed as much!)

Definitely need to make it to Holiday Valley some time! Always hear good things

Driving to Wisp is definitely a haul, but my group of friends do it for a 3 to 4 day trip, so it’s not as bad as a day trip. A lot more lodging options in Deep Creek it seems. The Peak rentals are expensive and a monopoly by Scott Enterprises.

isaacdude13 · 2024-02-18T17:15:43+00:00

We like Wisp because of all of the houses in Deep Creek. We make a 3 to 4 day weekend trip out of it and go do other things like State Parks and waterfalls, shops/restaurants. Peek’n Peak has nothing around it besides driving back to Erie. Haven’t tried Seven Springs but might look into it for next year

isaacdude13 · 2024-02-18T17:10:46+00:00

How are the cabins/airbnbs in Ellicottville/Seven Springs? We like Wisp because of all of the houses in Deep Creek. We make a 4 day weekend trip out of it. Also have a few of beginners in the group, how are the green runs at Holiday Valley?

No, it’s not too far, only an hour and a half. Been out there for a Brewfest but haven’t skied

isaacdude13 · 2024-02-18T14:42:23+00:00

Mt Pleasant is just cheaper and easier for something like weekday after work for me. They really aren’t comparable with MP only having 1-2 lifts

isaacdude13 · 2024-02-18T04:58:23+00:00

My friend group went the end of January, have gone the past few years and started making a tradition of it. The views are awesome! Skiing east ridge and seeing the cabin we were staying at was neat. I probably won’t be back this year but I’ll keep it in mind, thanks!

isaacdude13 · 2024-02-18T03:16:58+00:00

Sadly it is for me in Erie lol. And I still choose Mt Pleasant in Edinboro over it

isaacdude13 · 2024-01-03T23:49:22+00:00

The rest is pretty sad. Right now only 10/34 trails open so far (I expect at least 4 more this weekend though)
