A lot of people only ski 1-2 times per year/every few years, throw in a bunch of kids learning, and when you offer $35 ticket/rental/lesson its a good portion of the people there. Tried to go down to lower mountain on a rented snowboard there which was a bad idea lol that last drop is steeper than it looks and thanks for the welcome! I have been lurking here for a while, decided I should make an account.

" people were friendly " Clearly not.

Looks like its live. https://www.epicpass.com/passes/epic-pass.aspx 20% off. So with a Blue Pass increase, and an Epic pass discounted, its sort of a wash. I will probably, definitely, most likely, maybe buy the Epic Local, since i plan on another trip to Crested, which probably would cover my days there for $67 per day, or somewhere around $.87 per run, depending of course if its just lapping groomed trails, or doing some other stuff up top. Leaves me plenty of money for Cocoa and maybe even a soft pretzel. looks like i can get some cheap airfare if i dont mind flying BWI-MIA-PHL-DEN-DFW-GUN. let me know if anyone wants me to book them some airfare.

Because they suck and Blue doesn't.

Got my 2nd Fauci Ouchie yesterday. In and out under 10 minutes. I was impressed with how Rite Aid handled the process. Hardest part was getting a time but after that they send text reminders, appointments were quick, and people were friendly(at least at the Brodheadsville one).

My golf buddies hate me for that exact reason. “I got a 4 on that hole” “it took you 3 shots to get out of the bunker”

And the views on Sea to Sky highway are incredible.

Reminds me of when Root had PTSD when one of the rollers on Razors got him.

Assholes.

Big, if true.

This is accurate. Only rink I’ve had a guy try to fight, take off his helmet, get his ass beat, then try to press charges afterwards

might want to let him know he needs the second dose of Pfizer...

FWIW anecdotally, people have been having more of an immune response to Moderna than Pfizer and less of a reaction the older you get. Of course everyone is different, but this is what I've seen.

Looked it, too. 😘

3 week pfizer gang

There is nothing I could care less about in the grand scheme of the skiing world than a combo pass with camelback. I mean... I wouldn't say @indiggio made it up. I've heard similar things from at least three other completely unrelated sources at this point. Something's going on, and it sounds like pretty much the worst/most useless outcome for those of us who don't give a crap about a hotel or improved lodge. Hopefully whatever's going down at least comes with a terrain expansion to spread out all the new season pass holders.

Camelback's owners also own Blue now, right? Maybe they can do a Blue/Camel multi pass for ya'll.

Delco north!

my hood

99% sure I'll be Epic next year.

What the hell are you talking about?

Done. Epic Local Pass 2021/2022 purchased. This is grate!

Witnessing traumatic events, especially if it’s your first time, can fog people’s memories as well. I’ve dealt with a handful of fatal accidents where a witness can’t seem to remember which car caused the accident but they can describe injuries (to an extent) and whether or not the person was wearing a seatbelt

Whistler is incredible. Go if you haven't been.

It would be Epic if there were a bunch of Epic pass holders here.

FYI - the epic local and northeast pass include Stowe, for those thinking of going in on the group home in VT next year.

Camelback is the ski resort equivalent of “Florida guy”

Excited to get Epic next year. Disappointed that Blue didn't make the cut. It looks like Camelback is on with lift access to the Sullivan only.

Would need some sort of trail like lower sidewinder that has multiple switchbacks to mellow it out. I miss Montage. I was hoping to get up there on a Tuesday in February but it kept snowing and Blue was so damn good.

Back in the day at Montage they had huge orange banners up on poles that stretched the whole width of the trail, probably 20 feet in the air that said something along the lines of "Expert terrain only beyond this point" to try and turn people before they went down lower runaway and lower fast track. It would take a herculean effort to cut a blue trail down to the bottom of Montage, the mountain just naturally takes a nosedive down there and there are some major rock formations and cliffs off to the far skiers right that would make it very tough to add a mellow trail out there. I love Montage but at the end of the day it's 4 little mountains all tied together since each lift skis like its own little pod. Welcome @abe!

all of the different types of passes confuse me, but correct me if i'm wrong -- a season pass to jack frost / bb would be $479 with the add'l perks of unlimited visits to 14 add'l mountains, 4 with blackout dates and 10 days at stowe. is that right?

Just make sure you don’t end up with a ski pole up your ass.

@AtomicSkierTruly talk!

If that rendering is any indication they are about 74 years from this actually becoming a reality.

Blue better get their shit together! https://www.thetimes-tribune.com/news/business/owners-planning-hotel-at-montage-mountain-ski-resorts/article_78342468-ade9-5bc0-9f4c-327f7e5c2a5a.amp.html

The rink is real nice, as well as the bar. The guys playing in beer, not so much.

In this phase though I think my son could get one. If you are below 50 one of the conditions is “scarred lungs” so I think he would qualify under that.

You know there's not a one-dose pfizer vaccine, right? They might be doing a trial for that, I dunno, but as it currently stands, the CDC recommended dosing schedule is two doses ~3 weeks apart. I hope to not have to descent into mall madness until June.

Thanks sunshine

I’m very excite crazy he’s never skied out west. He was gonna gonto breckenridge a few years ago with his ex girlfriend.

Sort of the position im taking on this until someone can produce a video of it, or something more substantial that just he said, she said. Not that i like seeing people get messed up, i would have to stop a video before it actually hit the ground. i saw a really interesting report where eyewitnesses to some set up incident, could agree on the one main actors shirt color, so yeah, even eyewitnesses are not the most accurate.

Complete uneducated guess here but I would imagine that that chair was just in the exact wrong place at the exact wrong time and some sort of resonance got involved and swung it all the way up due to a hard stop or a drive surge or a combination of the two. I'm sure the sudden force and the fact that it swung so high was just too much for the parts that clamp the chair onto the cable, they are designed to release after all so they aren't exactly welded on there, and the chair just came off. Resonance is a hell of thing and if that chair was a few feet up or a few feet back we might not be talking about this today.

How long are people only able to ski Blue runs in PA? Like four days. Sheesh. Most beginners and low intermediate skiers ski single blacks.

This is interesting.. thanks for posting @EdBacon!

montage turning into dang camelback amusement park

I saw liftie Bob today(Grateful Dead shirt at 6 pack at Blue) and he said those quad chairs have 1 pin that connects the chair to the grip like the oh shit pin on a helicopter. He thinks that snapped from wear and that’s why it was able to go uphill until the sudden stop made it detach. I was trying to tell on the picture of the wheels if you can see the grips attached but I can’t really tell.

So is Blue on the epic pass or what?

Ok I’ll save it for you...

All hear say though, as far as i am concerned. I do think camelback should make a press release before this gets completely out of Control.
