I'm not a skier, but I get the sense it's a better hill than Wawa. My 9-year old loves it. As far as the coaster goes, I haven't heard any reviews. Their zip lines are great--I'm still hoping to get there before the end of the month. I really recommend it to everyone here--pretty fantastic on the Valley Jump zips.

It's really the smartest thing to do for most people. Even people with the means to send their kids anywhere are scratching their heads and asking if it's really worth paying for a private college experience. Especially now that the publics (at least the flagships) have transformed themselves into some REALLY neat places. The UConn of today isn't the same UConn when I was in college, I tell you that!

moneypitmike Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Seems like ENX radar is underdoing intensity this morning. Not crazily mind you, but the showers that have come through have been heavier than I'd expect with largely 5 dbz returns. Perhaps from the 'bursty' nature of the showers. 51.2/51 .13" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
