Took a gamble and opted for Big Boulder today over Blue. Met up with JFSkiDan around 10. Did a few laps on Tannenbaum before Merry Widow opened. First few runs on Love Park were $$$. Upper Sitzmark also opened shortly thereafter proving options from the top. Upper Sitz was also lots of fun. Snow was good overall but the cookies came out at the top of Love. Not much in the way crowds but lines did start to form on Merry Widow around 11:30 or so. Peaced out around noon. The goal for today was to be able to ski a decent run with minimal crowds and that goal was achieved so I'm cool. Oh also saw Antman but couldn't catch up with him. Great day. See y'all at Blue tomorrow am.

I also took some pics today. Great to see and ride the lifts with Johnny Style again. I went to check out the Valley on my way home. New doors! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

yo this new poster is awesome. one post in and already my new favorite poster. this guy could be in the Playa Haters Ball.

Do you want your $39 back? I'd rather give it to you than hear you complain about Blue opening on Black Friday.

Shitty pic below

10 runs open tomorrow including x-ing and the chute.

One post must be a new forum record. I think I made it to around 12 posts before gaining Haters.

Today was a great early opening day with more terrain than expected and they barely had any snowmaking weather to open and coverage is great. Haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate.

Ok.

On way home now. Mad steezy report to follow.

Hunter is a weird place. That mountain has no business having a ski resort on it, as the trails had to be blasted out of cliffs, with fences on the sides of trails keeping you from going over them. While it skis big, to me it feels like I’m just going through steep switchbacks repeatedly. It feels very manufactured for lack of a better term. I think belleayre, windham, and plattekill seem more like “normal” mountains. I think the new trails however will change the mountain dramatically as belt parkway was the only easy-ish way down from the top. The new trails look steeper than most blues do however. I was a pass holder last few years on peak pass, and eventually just kept driving to mt snow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"We made the decision not to open this weekend given the impending two inches of rainfall over the next two days. Instead, we chose to take advantage of this unusual, 3-day November cold blast to focus snowmaking on our most important areas; a top to bottom trail plus our prime family and learning areas. Because, when we open, it’ll be for the season. We’ve been making snow for 6 days and with 9” inches of help from Mother Nature, the plan is to start with weekends and quickly move to 7 days a week. Stay tuned for our opening day hours, and pricing, but we expect to start skiing, riding and tubing this Friday, November 30th."

I kinda liked that crappy side door. VIP

I thought Blue was spectacular today. Until it wasn’t. Parking lot was on point. Rest of the season is free.

Sucks to suck.

My only comment on this thread is that I didn’t find a bad spot of snow on the terrain that was advertised to be open today.

See you in a month.

Dammit. i missed free cookies. free cookies rock like RTM's.

lmao camelback didnt open today. its amazing how such a giant resort can suck so bad at something places like shawnee and montage were able to pull off. i guess thats what happens when skiing is at best the 3rd source of income. makes me appreciate blue being a ski resort first

At 12:21 pm. WTGAI Salty

The Stig showed up!

What did the scale say? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd definitely use the RTMs. Always a good option to bring the rock skis out when the base is still thin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Main and Midway open at 10 am. Maybe I should dig my RTMs out and make the long journey to Blue. How are the lines Steeze??

I’m at the last traffic light before the BMDI 12 degrees. To be continued.

Cameltoe fail again.

Lol they have so much snow. What dummies.

It's not hard to do. Shit on Blue and you got instant haters. Anyway I'm just seeing this thread. Unbelievable

i think the terrain is second best in PA, but the management sucks.

i was planning on going to the window to get a new pass like i do each year. also, why the hell would anyone give the lifties their real name?

That's my boy Blue, the Truest mountain! WTGAI Blue!!!

What other local ski resorts were better than Blue today??

Yup maybe Barney’s bumps for Sunday.

And upper main, that ones clutch.

Got the distinct impression that writing down names wasn’t so they could compile a list to do anything with, but to compare against if anyone dared come back again without going inside to wait in line to correct their error.

Hope they open upper tomorrow. Looks like we're heading to Blue - tomorrow. Yeehaw.....

Stfu

It’s opening day and they didn’t let the whales dry out. Will be that nice spring snow you like Sunday.

I like that salty said he was off to ski some Perder when I saw him at blue.

Second rope drop around 1020am was badass...was pretty much me edge Atomic Jeff and a couple of groms snow was lipstick the next run it was pig..some cookie action but apparently it got better. More beers in the lot and a pretty solid amount of people spilling in. Not only was today at Blue bonus skiing but they overdelivered..thanks to the snowmakers for pulling this off. A snowmaking said they were using 8,000 gallons per minute of water at peak.

Stone grind will fix that

Bingo.

Looks like they are still dumping on Main st, which surely means they didn’t groom it. Betting on them sticking to their word, vista only today

Or a tall unicycle

Gonna be like a 6 foot base on midway and Main Street by Saturday Bumps Sunday

Ooooh- AMAZEBALLS! Blued again. Main St chair was open ~ until it broke. Almost 2 whole hours of "quality" shred before delapidation rears her ugly head again. Can you wait for the 6 to go down CONSTANTLY? How many hours cumulatively did you sit motionless in the breeze last year? "Yummy" stale cookies = legit reparations you can count on (while you stand with 150 others watching empty chairs cruising up the hill.) How many times have you heard "We can cover the hill with 3 days of Snowmaking?" 20+ nights of snowmaking temps + 8" of NATURAL and this is Opening Day? Highest vertical in PA! & We are Open! (Closed monday-friday until further notice) I await with reticence the common closures on forecast alone, let alone consistant closure for inclement weather. LOVE the terrain at little gap ski area & laugh at the little fauxresort that can't be bothered to run a skI hill. Perhaps we need a spot to let them know of the REALITY of our daily experiences. Earth to blue- we ride mountains all over the world & not one other ski area acts with such contempt of their organic sales force. At least they keep laughing. ~chargingARC

My bed was too comfortable to get after it.

That's why I really can't believe you think it is the 2nd best in PA. They continuously fail.
