Blue mountain 2/23/19...PASR day..crowded.
Ski2Live Live2Ski replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
Loved the conditions today. 17 runs between 830 and 1. Switchback may have been my fac today. -
I vote for River Shot at JF as best ski view in PA
-
Yeah I went there a couple times in early 90s when I went to school in NC. They got a ton of snow and had no crowds.
-
Best one West or Denver and South of I-80 not named Snowshoe for sure.
-
It would be worth having 2 rankings perhaps, a relative to mountain green / blue / black and a more objective perhaps 1 to 10 scale based on how steep/narrow/twisty it is compared to ski trails in general. Cause a purely objective scale that gave everything in PA a green or blue would not be real informative for the beginners who need these ratings the most.
-
Our district in NJ only had Monday off
-
I heard from someone on a lift last weekend that this will be the last weekend Blue considers making snow, other than perhaps spot touch ups, as electric rates go up after that. Any truth?
-
Of course trail rankings indicate difficulty compared to other things on that mountain.
-
Are there going to be lift lines by afternoon?

No twins, just Daddy-O

We'll start the day tomorrow with a smile

Hello Lehigh Valley Live, Cliffhanger also is designated double black.
-
Looks like Sat AM for me this weekend
-
Blue offers the $99 6th grade passes to kids that had the PA 5th Grade Ski Passports the year before, no doubt as a way to try to convert "ski around" families into Blue devotees.
-
Not that I know of, but Inonly found out about the 6th grade deal about 53 weeks ago. This is the anniversary of my pass purchase.
-
Get more $ faster followed by more $ later Also if your Vail Intel is true, maybe the price boost comes with their being Epic passes
-
Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?
Ski2Live Live2Ski replied to Ride Delaware ?'s topic in General Chat
As a refresher, last year at this time the base was so skimpy we were unsure if the PA skison would last past the first weekend in March. We are now at 100% open with a nice base and snow in the forecast. -
2/12/19 Root got ‘recked on Razors Runout
Ski2Live Live2Ski replied to zzslope's topic in Blue Mountain
Will evaluate when I see the prices. Last year kids were $469. It is a much more attractive proposition than a Blue only pass certainly. -

Blue joins Epic pass they will sell me 3 -
I hear flats are also great for speeding over features constructed by malicious racers and left in place by negligent patrollers
-
I'm not the one who decided what stats to include in the stat tracker here. Show of hands - does anyone track the amount of horizontal they ski when not doing XC?
-
I always measure runs by amount of vertical as having a long flat section adds nothing to my experience and I would generally rather go down a given vertical on a shorter steeper run, within limits, though a couple curves in the trail does make it more scenic. I have no idea what the horizontal stats are.
-
The vertical of the non Bunny lifts at Shawnee rance from 641 to 668 The vertical of the on Bunny lifts at JF range from 402 to 527 So the smallest lifts are 60% more vertical and the largest are 25% for vertical. But the largest at JF serves only 2 runs and the largest at Shawnee serves all but 1 run. And Shawnee has advantage of Express. JF has better snowmaking in glades, more marginally steep terrain and a nicer view though.
-
50% longer on average isnt signignficant? If so, Blue 6 pack runs arent significantly longer than Shawnee express quad runs.
-
Shawnee runs are significantly longer - most are 700' vertical, while JF range from 425' (easier terrain) to 525 (hardest terrain: only Rivershot & Floyds). My girls were short enough to ski Shawnee free 1st-3rd grade, so I have skied there a lot.
