Do the Pocono ski areas keep making snow after Presidents Day weekend? I was expecting to go on this Sunday, but it looks like that may be postponed. I'm leaning Camelback, but am also considering Montage and Elk.

Looks like Poconos could get cold enough to make snow later in the week. Do you think any will ?

I've been watching Blue Mtn's reports and they've pretty been aggressive w/ snow making. I have friends going to Elk tomorrow, so I assume it's worth it for them. Resorts probably have a lot of snowmaking budget left since there weren't all that many cold days this season to spend it. But, will they want to spend it now knowing that skiers won't show up in droves like pre-holiday. Pleasantly surprised that 7S, Laurel, Hidden Valley, and Blue Knob all made some last night.

I haven't heard back from Camelback, but the news from the Alleghanies is good:

Now, I just need to get my schedule cleared.

Embedded tweets don't work...

In short, if conditions allow, Seven Springs will keep making snow.
