@Johnny Law Blue Mountain resorts just sent me this via email message. This is so radical it deserves its own thread.

I'm just happy it didn't catch my scratching my ass crack or something seriously though that is a nice drone shot.

I hope tomorrow those VIP lines go right up to the end of the inside lanes. Otherwise there's not much point.

give them widowmaker and vista chair.

I think he's talking about BMR, not lessons. I don't think anyone has an issue with lessons cutting lines, that simply makes sense with the outrageous amount of money lessons cost. BMR, on the other hand, should not be allowed to cut lines.

Rode from 9 to 11, c1er and Oz in the house otherwise empty didn't even see BFG's crew. Main was hard stiff resonator cord with odd debris piles, lazy and dis held softer turns and the big right was in good shape to slut it up. Headwall of coming soon was also pretty firm but smooth enough that it didn't matter. The dis runout continues to confound the beginners which at the very least is fun to watch. I would imagine there will be an hour or two where it's perfect hero snow as it was slowly getting softer. It was pretty quiet overall but you can tell there are more people early, I imagine this weekend with be quite busy. Skied with a dude named Jack on armadas, he was keen perhaps to make aquanticies so if he shows up here he's legit.

This is actually a really beautiful high quality drone picture. WJW, Blue is really getting after it!!!

I hate long lift lines, but I also hate paying all that money for camp for my kids and them not getting an adequate number of laps in to lurn sumthin. If they were in camp on Sunday last week instead of Saturday I honestly would have wished they kept them in the little Frontier learning area

Very good to see Blue making an effort! Complaining does seem to help. Hopefully they'll implement something in the new 6 for grouping, if it's seriously crowded.

Prolly Sunday & Monday.

If I had that much money to waste sure as hell wouldn’t waste it on that.

I don’t like skiing the trail after they’re done with it.

I’m hoping they just leave dreamweaver as a regular trail. Y’all can have come around, barbs way, Central Park and Yeti

Hey All, It’s almost another weekend, is anybody planning on skiing Blue mountain the true mountain? Looks like a short but heavy rainfall ending early Saturday AM followed by slowly dropping temperatures but still well above freezing..then Sunday looks like 30mph winds wooooo…hold onto your hat.. Then Monday is MLK day and 8am opening..so could be a nice three day weekend…fun fun fun.

What's even more radical is that Camelback has girls in bikinis any day you want them. You just have to ski to the express on the far end and then walk the long corridor to the surfing area. Best resort in Poconos!

You dodged a bullet but the guy waiting to get on lift got caught sniffin the person in front of them...

Blue should have opened up widowmaker at the beginning and given that to BMR the entire time instead of pissing on Raisins that one time, only to have it end up in the retention pond.

Sat,Sun and Mon...... should be a wild ride

They have dedicated season pass lines but they also upped their cattle chute game all around. They had pleeb chutes setup at like 910 on the new sixer which is good for them.

Fuck those snooty little brats. They pissed me off last Sunday big time. Closing trails on the busiest day of the year and jumping the lift gates every run right onto the chairs.

I punched a French guy and broke my pinkie finger at Camelback. I think I told that story already.

Sat unless it’s raining. Planning on sun mon too

What's with the 'we'? You work at CB now?

Saturday and Sunday

Sat Sun Mon

After last weekend I’ll pass until more trails are open

I’m kinda jaded from blue after sunday’s debacle and the insane amount of people on the trails on Monday. There is a 40% chance I’ll be there tomorrow at some point but not for opening. I should be there sat and sun though, or maybe just tomorrow and Sunday, but def Sunday, so who knows

28” so far this week at Jackson hole..snowing now and snow in the forecast after month long dry spell. New terrain opening by the hour.

Gss...you had a head injury? Ohhh

Starting to rain.

I’m a minimalist ,have to be a 8 out of ten before I start taking meds. Sedation is for recreation 😁

Yes and some of the ones in the high peaks, many moons ago there was a TR from Peggy O

Whiteface? Was he going to run the slides? Have you run them? Think a beacon is my son’s next bday present.

I tend to recognize people more by their ski technique and gear rather than their face.

Actually I prefer the term “geezer”, I’ve earned it. More descriptive of how everything hurts after a morning on the slopes.

I hate passing 'cause I can never time it properly, esp. if someone goes edge to edge, or if that someone is on a board who's moving like some brownian particle. What I lately found works the best is the contrarian approach. You aim to hit the guy, and by the time you get close, he'll invariably make another turn and clear the way.

I’m getting old..that’s the way I skied from when I was a teenager to my thirties and once I crashed into that kid head on at full speed I’ve been spooked and a bit more cautious. Since then I only had one collision if you can even count it as one. One day last season I was skiing paradise alone and some boomer was hogging the trail and on the second corner when he was going wide left I snuck to his right…he saw me but decided it was the time to go all the way across…so I put on the brakes and he legit almost went back uphill right into my skis…he fell I didn’t cause I’m an agile mofo except in ski area bathrooms and crossing streets in ski towns.

I kinda from time to time want to ask... Do you ever speak in court? And if or when you do, and if you speak the way you write, is the judge as surprised as the BMR you're passing on slopes?

Lessons you cut the line because it's almost always timed and you pay out the ass plus it's assumed the instructor will fill chairs. BMR are a necessary evil I think, too much money for them to turn down and I do like going by them as they don't get passed alot so they are always surprised. My absolute favorite is when they are dicking around mid lower main strung out horizontaly like Christmas lights. You get the motor going and from the very top just go straight at them, do not deviate do not for even the billionth of a second unsquare your body from the fall line, go faster and faster directly at them and watch them squirm. You want to have a confab every 10 turns gtfo the trail or at least line up and down the hill. Someone I know used to like to use them and ski patrol on challenge as gates, one time he got so close going so fast I swear the dude pooped his pants. Good times

I'll have to check next time I go, maybe I'll write a report on their V.I.P. lines.

Pharoah and Bactrian are not marked as terrain parks on the online map this year. I wonder if Cliffhanger is in play to open? I think that's what you can see from the tubing cam. I know they blew on it this year, and it looks like it has snow on the cam. For sure that can be decieving though

Wow, I love Blue Mountain now! @GrilledSteezeSandwich can call us complainers Karens or Jim-Bobs, but the squeaking wheels get the Vaseline.

https://www.facebook.com/SkiBlueMt/videos/1088689262173060 New VIP lanes. So, at least they listen.

Did everyone download the Camelback app?? Blue Mountain doesn't have an app. This is radical! The app gives gapers I mean "Pros" some tips on how to navigate around the resort to get from their New York City condos to the perder. I'll be long long gone before they arrive thanks to being a VIP with First Traax.

Here's the BMR race schedule for this year to take away Nile Mile and or Razors when it opens from the public. Saturdays and Sundays from 8 to 1 then then have the following school nights too. Monday Tuesday Wednesday and fucking Thursday. Really not cool....

Skied today from 11-3, then nice parking lot session. Snow was nice, just a little sugary at the bottom. Main Street and TCS were runs of the day. So nice to lose the crowds that have been present since they opened. Hope every Ikon pass holder in a 300 mile radius has used all their passes at Blue.

Dude I've come a looong way. Made 120k sitting on my couch the other day

Yup just like @toast21602 hot and cold…and like a Katie Perry song…some days are good some days are bad. Shit just today I’ve been happy and pissed off several times. C’est la vie you take the good you take the bad you take them both and then you have the Facts of Life…no @theprogram4 this morning which is rare. Yeah I fucks with the Beatles no big dealio…and loving some of the Tik Toks coming out of the Bronx…

Just got back from a short later afternoon sesh at Blue The True. Snow was getting a bit sugary but still had moisture content. Just lapped lazy, upper main, and vista to miday to the park a bunch of times. All in all JADIP. Snowmaking conditions looking superb for next week!

Thanks. Figured out how
