I think those are trees they removed to sell to Elk.

If Tannenbaum had been open today I would have gone up. Don't think I'm going to be able to go tomorrow. Not interested in Freedom Park with or without the human slalom. Looks like its a wait for Blue's first day, or if the snow lasts at Boulder until next weekend.

That flat little beginner park off to the right halfway down Burma.

They've moved the chairs and fire pits off of Vista today. They were on the grass last night. Sure seems like they want to put something down there!

Looks like Blue is doing a preseason sale on all giftcards, 20 percent off. Another balloon payment on the loan for the condos must be due. Not as good as 50% sweet deals, but better than nothing and a lot easier to get. http://mailchi.mp/skibluemt/events-deals-and-fun-at-blue-mountain-resort-228969

It's like they're pulling out all the stops to earn Ski2Live's business.

Dropped the skis off at Blue for a tune yesterday when I had to go up to convert the last of my gift certs to cards. Full tune is $50 but they're having a pre-season special for $40. Can't double dip with the season pass discount, so it's really $40 vs $45. The dude mentioned that they had a good backlog of work to do, so good for them. He put a date of 11/20 on my ticket, but said they'd call if they get them done sooner. He did ask if I needed them for an early season trip, implying they could work them in if so. I said I was hoping to use them there before Thanksgiving and we both laughed and laughed.

There is no battery. Just a heating pad and a couple of small zip pockets with cords for wall and vehicle power port. Definitely room inside for gloves and goggs, and a seperate pocket type thing on the outside for helmet

Can't go wrong for $45

Tough to even move around with the checkout line snaking around for 80-100 ft. Deals to be had tho. Between pops and I scored 2 pairs of goggles, 3 pairs of socks, 1 baselayer pants, 1 outerwear pants and a heated boot bag. $785 retail for $275. Less than $140 out of pocket with 1/2 priced giftcards. Almost talked myself into a pair of demo Rossi Experience 100s in sweet shape for $300.

Yeah, I won't take my chances. I'll just buy a triple ticket to Camel, a ticket or two for montage when they have their sales. Maybe look for a deal on a day or two at Jack Boulder. I'm not against joining a club and participating, but Princeton wouldn't be it.

If you find out any info, post up. Was considering grabbing a few this year instead of Camel triple ticket, but if it's totally gone I'll save the club membership fee.

We always talk about our feelings! I'm usually like, "Anyone feel like more meat? The grill is still hot!" And Root's all like "I feel like I could eat some more. Any of that corned beef left?" And then Steeze is like, "I feel like it's been more than 10 minutes since I said 'Face down, ass up, that's the way we like to tuck.' so I'm gonna say it again." We have all kinds of feels.

It's a good strategy, you could essentially do this every other year and get 1.5 years out of each pass filling in the early half of the off seasons with the ticket packs. It's what I would do if I wasn't so close that night skiing after work 2-3 times a week is feasible.

I don't see a spot for the grill

Just make sure you only do one if you wanna win. Saw that in the rules.

Ok

Heard about this contest on the radio today. Looks like random winner of 2 Blue passes and $500 to Army-Navy store chosen from those who submit photos. http://951zzo.iheart.com/contests/upload-your-epic-ski-photos-298426/ Can't beat free.

You would not enjoy living next to me. Although nothing is out yet. Maybe this weekend.

We're probably good for now, I picked up Rossi E88 HDs and he got the above mentioned Salomon Xdrives. I'm scared you're gonna post up something so nice I'll have to buy it and the wife'll kill me! lol

Yeah, we both really liked the RTM 84 when we tried it at demo day last year. He ended up picking up a pair of Salomon Xdrive 8.8 at the Blue end of season clearance in the spring. Got them for a steal, and was real happy with them for the last few days of the year.

Pretty sure Blue get their projected opening date from waiting until Camelback says their's, then saying one day earlier.

When I went last year there was the occasional patron who just stood there and downed the sample then got another, ignoring the fact that there were people behind them. He was probably of that ilk.
