Ouch! If we're gonna run into that hard we use a spotter.

It's funny though how Killington encourages you to smoke your joints innthe parking lot 🤣. Signs everywhere "smoking in parking lot only please".

Not saying he's wrong and I'm not on his bad side. Each time has been a peaceful conversation of the exact same lol. He could just go the other way like the rest of em. I'm old school I still like to burn down some bones in the lot. Vape for the lift.

Nice!! I ended up hitting Camel for a short sesh today. The lip into Chute yesterday was absolutely bonkers. You could get so much air off it or knuck huck it, hope they keep it that way.

We call that one guard in particular "Paul Blart". He's the only one that gives those heavy rent a cop ego vibes, the others dont seem to give a shit.

Details above

I told him and he gives a shpeel about Blue being private property and even if it goes rec they still wont allow it. Then he goes on about how med law in PA says it must stay at home bla bla and you can get a DUI for it bla bla. Happen two or three times now he always opens with "I'm not busting ya but I gotta say put it out......." I countered with I think the bars has all you described well handled and Blue makes a killing on it. He just shrugged with no sensible rebutle 🤣

He's the pot police too 🤣

Talked a lot of shit that me being a former employee found hilarious. He stressed very hard on wanting to reduce employee turnover in managerial positions. The potential for upgrading the Stevenson and other lifts but clarified nothing definitive yet. Touched on Ikon and how it's effected both Blue and Camelback positively and negatively and their future outlook on it and hint at the potential Base Pass discount etc etc etc. He's just another big money white collar. Not a core ski industry guy by any means. Camelback goes through GMs and whatever this guys role is like underwear.

Dats the funny thing about inflation, it only slows down, never reverses. You know your getting old when reminiscing over years past pricing. Yes, I am getting old too. 😇

Bruhh why dont I see First tracks in the Camelback perks! They better not do away with that.

Overthinking bro. Ultimately it comes down to what is the most convenient for you to get the best turns in that you can each year. No sense in cutting nose to spite face over gripes with the place if indeed Blue is your best option still. Just dont spend a penny at the property on anything but the pass, use the shit out of it and in the end, you got the best of Blue for your $$$.

That jump is sketch you have to dial to the speed if hitting it as a table or you will send it to flat which is doable if your prepared catastrophic if not.

I seen it was the hip jump in central. Poor kid.

People be crazy. I try to diffuse those situations immediately. Not for fear of a fight fear of goinf to jail if someone forces me to fight em.

Speaking of smart style I had my first head on collision today in front of the quad gates. I was coming from the progression park going way wide to keep a little speed over to go to the 6 pack and a skier in the other djrection deer in headlighted at the same time with me and whammo. Really hard hit but no harm no foul, we shook hands and said we both fed up. First time for everything.

This is getting good. We can have PASR Sugarbush Aprils all the way through after our local options close!!!

There is discussion of a possible discount on the Ikon Base pass for all access Blue and Canelback pass holders. We'll find out officially when Ikon drops the 24/25 news. I am grabbing one.

Just got home from a most excellent afternoon sesh at Blue The True. Was busy around noon but lines dissipated as the morning tickets left. Snow was most excellent considering the crowds. I think the only ice sketch spot I found was the landing of the 2nd rail on Come Around. Be back tomorrow for more of the same!

Came back for some more First Tracks this holiday weekend. Managed 10 runs before the lift lines grew longer than 60 seconds when the public peasant tickets started scanning. ROTD was Marjis and Cliffhanger with some lovely groomed packed powder cord. All in all JADIP. First tracks is the deal on the weekends.

Please tell me it was the 2x4 they carried down to you....

3" in my driveway I measured at 6:30am and it snowed for another hour or two, I'd say a fair 4" for CBK.
