Hopefully they will be a lot faster than the existing snail lifts even without being high speed.

Could see doing a combined Cbk/Blue pass in a future year

Can we ski the new trees?

Yeah I booked a trip to do Vail and Beaver Creek in Feb with a friend (not with Joy this time as she suffered from the altitude). With having already gotten myself an Indy Pass if I wasn't gonna do a CO trip I probably would not have gotten the Epic Pass to use only alternate weekends. But with 4 days in CO the Epic pretty much pays its way right there and the rest is gravy.

They like it better than most PA places and not as much as places they have been in VT, NH and CO. They like Montage a lot and are psyched to check out a bunch of new places on Indy, though a little bummed they won't get to CO this year.

Wound up getting Epic Local for me and Indy for the 3 of us

Those lifts are ancient. I first rode them in 81.

NE skiology group had a report about a 6 pack replacing the 2 Main St chairs for 22-23

Blue Mountain Resort Resort is kind of redundant. Is the idea that if they say resort twice we won't notice that it's not actually a resort?

Oh well

Indy announcing 4 more additions tomorrow - woohoo Rooting for Elk or Plattekill as I figure Blue and Camelback would go Ikon if they joined a pass and ORDA hills unlikely to stray from ORDA pass.

Thanks for the tip. None of that is set in stone of course, and will be mindful of conditions - just an idea for how it could work out. Cool thing is these are all places I have never been - other than Catamount, Shawnee and Montage. Another option if Magic didn't look good that week would be hitting West on way to or from N.Vt if I go down NYS Thruway.

And now so are the 3 of us

Went ahead and got the Indy Pass for girls and I and will also get my own Epic Pass Figuring I will use Indy as follows Xmas Break - 2 days each at Jay and Bolton and 1 day at Magic. MLK weekend - Catamount, B.East and Magic Spring Break - 3 days at some combo of Cannon, Waterville, Saddleback Catamount/B.East weekend Greek x2 weekend Blue Knob x2 weekend 2 day trips to Montage 2 day trips to Shawnee Maybe try West some time too That will be more than the 19 days the girls used their Epic passes last year. I will hit Epic areas solo alternate weekends (including Pres Wknd) & game lines riding as a single

Per Google Maps 2:15 to Montage vs 3:10 to Hunter (I can do that in 2:45 early morning - but doing so got me a $250 ticket last year) So much more do-able for day trip. Due to limited days I would only use Montage when going with girls

Montage addition has me contemplating getting Epic + Indy passes for me and just Indy passes for the girls - who ski with me only half the time as they split time with their mom and like Montage a lot. Ski the more crowded Epic places when I go solo and can use singles lines and the less crowded Indy places when with girls. Save a good amount of $ compared with 3 Epic passes and Montage is a real nice option that is closer than Hunter for a day trip or could be combined with Greek for a weekend with some variety. Also I could check out lots of places I have never been - Jay, Bolton, Magic, Greek, B.East.

Had this been announced before Montage pass prices went up would have seriously considered doing Montage pass and this as add on (with $100 discount you get that way). Maybe next year.

It's 25% off 3rd day

Montage def boosts Indy appeal big time for the NJ/E.PA skiier.

Sounds like they could get a foot or two of fresh snow in Southern / Central VT before weekend. Mt Snow (Carinthia only) and K still open.

Just a touch of grey

At 55 any hair is great hair, especially with some color still in it

Don't tend to take pix when on snow in gloves - we have some nature shots too though

Sorry here are some of the pix we took

Back from Vail Set my record both for Days: 41 (up from 31); and Vertical: over 600k (never hit 400k before) Epic! That's a wrap til November
