A picture of Blue Mountain Ski Resort, taken on Saturday, 11/19/22 at 3:40 PM from around 2,200 feet MSL.
Two bonus pictures of the local hill station:
Actually my season is going to start at AZ Snowbowl on the 28th . I didn't buy a Blue pass this year ,I'm dealing with major back/ nerve problems . Getting old sucks hopefully the excising will keep me back in shape , I've been feeling a lot better lately .
AZ will be a test run , not expecting any bumps .
Haul rope is definitely on-site, and partially strung. Not sure if it goes all the way up to the summit and back to this spot, since it didn't look to be over the pulleys on the left as it is on the right side.
FYI, in case anyone (else) was looking to drop ‘em off for a very last minute tune, Blue is currently 2 weeks out. Dropped off a set that needs a bit of repair but elected to keep the main skis when I saw they were giving a return date of 12/3, I’ll get them waxed later
I've only stayed once downtown like blackout drunk but I've always wanted to stay at all those places. One of then, the Rio ? Is apparently 20$ a night and run by cats.....Vegas for a few days is such a riot
I went screaming downhill to the fire station for a call yesterday, got to the first curve in the road and realized I was driving on summer tires. Dang weather went from summer to winter in like 12 hours.
Some hard-charger in my neighborhood found the fast grass, though.
I’ll take the long haul over the doubles at blue knob. I’m pretty sure they just let the local meth head run on a human hamster wheel for a free season pass to power those things. Not to mention I think the haul ropes needed to be shortened years back, so much slack and bounce even when not loaded.
Some pics of the top terminal....It looks pretty legit...On my way up I talked to a guy working there(Blue employee)...Said the were looking at Dec. 15th finish date...Where he got that info I do not know...All the guns on Vista looked to be on standby ready to go...
