What we’re about
The mission of this group is exactly what the name implies, we want to provide good company and a positive atmosphere to experience those things that, for whatever reason, you either weren't able to do before or don't get to do often enough. To work toward that, we try to offer a wide variety of things for you to do with us. We try to cater to the interests of as many people as possible. But we are few and you are many, and this means to do what we want as well as possible, we need your help. Feel free to email me with any suggestions you might have. We won't do everything, but I can promise that we'll give everything fair consideration. This group is special because of its members, and I look forward to meeting and building new experiences with as many of you as possible. Hope to see you soon!

Not So Urban Athletics: Snowboarding or Skiing at Blue Mountain
Blue Mountain Resort, 1660 Blue Mountain Drive, Palmerton, PA, USIt's the season for winter sports, let's head to the Poconos and spend the day snowboarding or skiing at Blue Mountain.
The plan...
We'll meet in the outdoor courtyard seating area of the Summit Lodge at 9:30 AM. After a quick meet and greet, those that need rental equipment will get their equipment and we'll head up the mountain for a few hours of fun.
At midday, we'll all meet at the lodge for lunch to laugh about how our mornings went and to nurse our bruises. After lunch we'll spend a few more easy hours exploring the mountain before we call it a day.
The important stuff...
The lift ticket prices are dynamic, meaning they change based on date and demand. Take a look at the current cost and purchase your lift pass online at this link below:
