Also my biggest food splurge yet at Blue. Cheeseburger, Fries, Soft Pretzel, large Hot Cocoa and one of those Raspberry cakey pastries. Of course the 10% discount brought total bill down from 20 to 18.

You guys missed it with your crazy early sched. The winds had the pow pow t-deep in BBaumer by early afternoon but you folks passed up the goods in favor of upper lot brewakis. Winds from the West will likely have blown the stash over to Sidewinder or beyond by this AM so I wish I had snapped a pic for you but, as they say, there are no photographers on powder day. Maybe I can do it Blue style and post some pix of powdery trees in Utah for you

Pretty sure there is a warning sign at the top saying it is freestyle terrain. You went over a ramp by accident? We got 9 nice runs in today. How did you not know that run was a park? First rodeo?

I track my expenses. I dont worry about them.

Actually we have 15 skier visits in so far. Averaging out at $40 per skier visit if we did not ski again this season. You know I have taken advantage of the 10%. And kids are psyched for whenever tubing opens. Family tube is a fun thing. I took them tubing at Blue when they were 4, but one chickened out and stayed in lodge with Mom (was still married)

Yep, that what got me to buy my pass no doubt. Still at 199 a person avg, we make put if we go once a month as a family even if I never go along. Throw in the skiing we did on the passes last Feb-Apr and they may have paid for themselves by this weekend.

Pretty remarkable that at Early Bird price of 399, pass pays for itself in 7 weekend visits compared to online price and 6 compared to window price. Go twice a month Dec through March and it more than pays off. Though not as good a deal as PS&R cards unless you factor in 2 $99 passes for 6th graders.

Wow just saw email with prices. $60 on line / $65 window seems pretty steep for a weekend. What were they last year? Never actually seem to pay standard price.

Didnt see that news posted here before, sorry

Check out this item in Skier News. We could get the new trail open this year with enough natural snowfall

Tuts to Blue Baumer to Lazy to either L Sidewinder or Falls is one of my fav runs

I've skied through that glade many times enjoyably and they def get man made snow in there.

What's wrong with the glade off Lazy? Did not know that was frowned upon.

I will say this is an awesome year to have our first Blue pass as they are putting the other NEPA Mts to shame with their early season efforts at opening terrain. Plus lines have amazingly been nonexistant so far.

Too much to hope for a skiable glade off Lazy?

Saturday with twin girls

Sure lots of things have environmental impact, few are as pointless.

HAM? Extravagant Xmas displays are almost as environmentally harmful as they are tacky. I have seen some tasteful ones, but gotta be under 1%. That said, I realize lighting candles for 8 nights also produces some carbon.

If they offer it in Feb for next season, bye bye Blue. Dont need both passes for one season.

3 days

May head to the Skills next weekend if they have significantly more open. Get the kids some bigger terrain for their last skiing before Copper

What do Montage and CB have open? Leaving Blue now as rain started after run 15.

Could be, I made it onto the snow by 830 last Sat which was pretty good for me especially with having kids to get out there.

They posted that opening Sat is weather dependent in a comment. I hope to be there Sat AM if open and it looks like rain will hold off til PM
