More value just keeps getting added to the pass every minute. Shit I'll buy two every year if it would keep your negative ass away.

Neither of us is as into is we used to be, but she still enjoys riding the occasional woodie.

In the line up. Gonna be busy. To be expected. Vis might be a little low light snowfall

Dan brought the snow!

Parking talk 👇👇👇

Came here for this discussion and looks like I was right! Pulled the trigger today, 0 hesitation. $649 is definitely a lot to ski blue for the season, but honestly I'm kinda stoked to not see a 7 in there. After 11 days this year at BC...I'm about over it, don't think I'll renew. Reality is, I love the park, but If I'm not there at 1pm on a weekday...I'm miserable, and those opportunities aren't always there. Pumped to actually ski runs too. Now, the race is on to cram as many days in before closing to stretch that value. Of course they had to open the sales up on a rainy day with an early closing 🙄 See you all at Blue! Happy to be home.

so, 16 degrees and the snow was really heavy for whatever reason, maybe it was windblown. kind of snow where people were pretty much eating shit pretty regularly. Anyways a pretty damn nice day today all the way around. it was definitely some work to float this heavy stuff, but got actually easier to ski once it was cut up a bit. First runs for Barb and I were off Paradise bowl, and thats where i quickly found out how heavy the snow was, i skied off the groomer track and it kinda sucked me in, threw me around some, ending up skiing switch a little before i gathered things back up and got things going in the right direction again. played in some trees, but the overnight snow isnt doing tons to fill in the steeper areas which are pretty trenched out, and scrapey underneath from basically 30 days with no snow. The bumps on the trails were really better than most stuff in the trees. Barb and i split up for a few runs before meeting back up for lunch. Found some better trees around International, had no idea where i was actually going, got kinda lost, and ended up at the Umbrella bar. Managed to make it back to Paradise to meet Barb for lunch a little late. Ate lunch, Barb headed back to her place, and i was just gonna cruise a couple more trails. They had sent a couple couple bombs off earlier as they were working on the high stuff, both Tbars had delayed openings. The Tbars opened after lunch, even though i saw people standing in line before lunch. i rode the Paradise lift with an instructor who said the stuff off the high lift was kinda blown off, exposed rocks, but the stuff off the North lift was better, but still not great. i wasnt up for the line up at the Tbars, and since im solo, legs were telling me go home, so i passed on that today. Snow is supposed to continue until thursday sometime. It didnt snow too hard during the day, but looking out the window now, things have really picked up some, and its after 4 pm here, so things should get a nice refill, and we will be at it again tomorrow. pics in a few.

good news take away, we are still an independent ski area?

I have been replaced. Dan is my dog’s new favorite

On Sunday, I'm flying from PHL to Vancouver for a skication with my brother (who I learned is lurker on here 🖐️). I've skied a bunch of resorts out west but Whistler has been on my must hit list for some time now. I decided to go with an Epic Pass this season solely to explore Whistler. I kind of thought with the hoops, testing requirements, etc - it would limit some American tourists from going to Whistler this year. Hoping by going to Canada and skiing midweek, the crowds will be mild and the snow will be good. 🤞 This is my rough agenda. Day 1 Sunday Feb 27 ✈️Arrive in Vancouver + shuttle to Whistler. Day 2 Monday, Feb 28 Ski at Whistler Day 3 Tuesday, March 1 Ski at Whistler Day 4 Wednesday, March 2 Ski at Whistler Day 5 Thursday, March 3 Ski at Whistler. 4pm shuttle to Vancouver. Explore the city. Day 6 Friday, March 4 Explore the city. Day 7 Saturday, March 5 ✈️Depart, early 7am flight While in Whistler, I'm staying near the Whistler Village Center (near the Blackcomb Mountain Gondola). While in Vancouver, I'm likely staying at or near the Hyatt Regency (still deciding on the exact hotel). So PASR - is there anything I should specifically do or see? Any must go-to restaurants or bars?

Exactly why we don’t want to be on ikon.

I don’t want Camelfucks at Blue. They know Blue is better and will all flock to Blue.

That makes the pass a steal and I may be in the minority but just do the math on desired profits and divide. I don't want complicated or 9382929 things to think about when I'm going skiing. It's the escape from all that shit. If I owned blue I would make Camelback pass holders pay more

649 credit card airline miles...woot! I'm good with it. I like the $50 deal. Usually get a stone grind or whatnot end of season, beginning of next so that covers that. I really thought the sack would be included. The fact that it's 25% off only and not free will basically ensure that I won't go there which is a ok with me.

Just clicked the purchase button a few minutes ago.....I'm OK with this pricing.....Can't wait to see the Summit Safari lift to the top get installed.. The Camelback discount is just fluff....The only redeeming thing Camelback has going for it is they allow uphill travel...

Expecting I will soon have sole custody and girls will get to ski a lot more.

Yeah, I gotta get my boys on a pass where they can ski before 4 on the weekends. I never wanna motivate enough to come back up after 4. Too bad the gift card’s not instant (assuming) to roll them. I’ve never been happier that my wife won’t ski. 😂😂🤑

Yes. It’s an Excel table tho.

Looks like another year I won't be getting a Blue Mountain pass unless they put some $ back on the table

Yup. Nope.

I love parking talk.

Is it still money on the table if all of their transactions are electronic?

Its fucking crazy that prices jumped $200 in the last two years, but this $650 price is more market value or whatever the fuck business term is used. If prices stayed low, or where they were two years ago then we would be dealing with the Epic pass lift line bullshit like all of those resorts and bitching nonstop. With this, we just bitch now about the price and then the rest of this season and next is all butterflies and rainbows until the next early season pass price.

@JFskiDan has probably been up for hours already ... enjoy the pow!

The problem is that camelback passholders would be allowed to ski at Blue..

WTGAI. I hate it too when I get lost and end up at a bar [emoji6] [emoji482]

You think it'll be full?

Love my seasonal locker. Probably get one next year too. I still boot up at the car.

long way from 2006 prices, but hey it's still easy to break even with where lift tickets are at now. kinda weird that comparing things to 2006 now is like 1990 back then. actually seems normal if you look at it that way.

Remind me to wear jeans, sneakers and an old Eagles jacket that day so I'm prepared.

This is going to be the year I go tubing. If I don't do it this year I'll just be another year older when I do

Famous! Those aerial shots of the mountain always make the place look so legit.

I think he just clicks on that reaction because it most resembles him.

Any word on parking ? I don't care about Camelback, honestly it makes the pass less attractive 🤣🤣🤣

That’s not bad. It’s what it should be cause everybody is gonna pay that. You know what happens when a business undercharges...yes they leave money on the table.

$649 fml current SP holders get a 50$ gift card awesome cant wait

Wow busy day there! @JFskiDan make sure you use a coaster for your beverages.

The Summit Safari Supreme is going to be an incredible ride. I imagine with the extra cash flow from the price increase we will get heated seats.

Forget the lockers. Let's just build one of those "Little Free Libraries" in the lot and we can all just leave stuff in there* *Beer, it will be full of beer.

A lot of twos on this Tuesday..but you have two incomes and luckily you don’t have two kids to buy passes for like Ski two live..

This article hits close to home. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/21/politics/headstone-supply-chain-granite-shortage/index.html?fbclid=IwAR3SFOPxvGp06aQUY8BuuXnq9ROOyIdURWt0NeSBYUjdjpa-OluzA42GE28

I wouldn’t use a locker if Blue paid me.

He is on coffee # 4 at least! Gonna be good today! Enjoy!

Damn that's better than I thought and Dan was almost right on. 400 or 500 is too cheap from their point of view, too much value left on the table. Right now I'm at $14 a day on a full price pass. By the end of the year that's close to ten which is hyper low.

Skied 6-730 with the fam. Boo forgot her ski pants but she HTFU and rode in her base layer. 38 degrees when we got there so it wasn't the worst. Saw @Dirtwolf's truck in the lot walking out and hoped to grab a post ride beverage with him but he ski-daddled by the time we got back. Light lines and good snow made for a fun night. They closed the six pack around 715 but it was clearing out. Wanted to keep the streak going tomorrow but the rain makes me think they might close early.
