Eastern pennsylvania xcd spots?

I've recently moved back from San Francisco to my hometown of Philadelphia. While out in CA, I picked up this nasty skiing habit, mostly day and overnight trips on low angle terrain around the Tahoe area, using a light backcountry telemark set-up. I understand PA is no CA, but the 8" snow we got thi...
