All that rain will be really good for the snowmaking ponds. And the rain made the snow super awesome today

Not good, ski patrol might see this and have patrollers stationed all along Burma this weekend, with a garrison right in this spot.

He was keeping it on topic for the Blue thread. Lift tickets this weekend are dirt cheap at $99 for Saturday and 3 left @ $69 for Sunday. That's pretty rad. Maybe Ski2Live will be generous and consider paying to be a donation to Blue Mountain, then think of it as skiing for free

There's always next season for my buddy pass competition. I think next year there will be a scavenger hunt in both the lower and upper lots where I hide taxidermied squirrels dressed in our favorite PASRs' ski gear, and whoever finds the most wins my buddy pass

I think Ski Patrol will be ok with this as long as those skis have metal edges. @Benm

Ok

Ok, Airhead and I will be skiing together on Saturday morning. We will look for you but you'll probably be just a blur due to ultra high rate of speed

You're welcome and any time! @GrilledSteezeSandwich This is getting good

Thanks for the like!

Doesn't sound too enthusiastic. Are you debating between skiing and watching classic NASCAR reruns all weekend?

Yeah man, what the eff? I haven't used a stopwatch like Ski2Live would, but I strongly believe that riding any High Speed Lift is faster and more efficient than riding the old Main/Burma chairs, even with spending the extra 30 seconds on Homestretch etc. This is especially true now that there are never any real lines at any lift each weekend morning. I do not miss those slow lifts at all. If Blue can cut an extra trail thru beginner area to the new Main St lift that would save even more time and be super rad

Would the Indy Pass also give you access to concerts to see The Beagles? Asking for a friend @Ski2Live Live2Ski

Wao, I wish I could have been there to witness these magnificent skills. I normally sit on the lift while zoned out staring into space, not noticing the mad skillz of skiers and boarders below. But if I saw you showboating under the Main Street lift, I would have been like "wao, there goes that Atomic Skier guy, he should be in the O-Lympics". The moment would be accompanied by a lot of hootin' an' hollerin'.

If Montage would replace Long Haul with a high speed lift it might be worth it. But it just takes way too long to get to the top of the mountain riding those old slow lifts. On a Perder day I only did one top-to-bottom, which was rad, but it took like 15 minutes riding 2 lifts to get up. Ugh

I now like starting out my day doing Widow to Chute, it's mostly empty the first few runs except for some top lodge gapers merging from Vista. The walk to the new lift is a tad shorter than the others which is better for walking in ski boots. Plus there's usually no one there except for @theprogram4 and his cup of Wawa or McDonalds coffee. But don't tell anyone how great the new lift is or everyone will want to do it.

Ok, since Breckinridge was voted top 5 I guess I'll go. Was Blue Mountain voted in the top 5? I don't think they're going this trip but next year maybe you, me, Ski2Live, Eaf and MattEdge will go to Jackson Hole and we can ski down the couloir

Maybe I'll cancel my trip out west in a few weeks and just ski the western groomers at Blue Mountain which is a True Mountain.

Glad they're not leaving any money on the table.

The supply and demand curve for skiing differs from that of the general economy. The supply of ski resorts is finite but demand is high, so they wouldn't want to leave any money on the table. It's simple economics son, I don't understand it at all. But God I love it.

Nah, Canukistan is run by commies. I'd rather stay in the US n A where at least I know I'm free

Wow you had me going

It's pretty crazy that Blue actually looks like Vermont and without the drive.

Atta boy, that's my boy Blue! WTGAI

Hope not, I'm in Pittsburgh

They're preparing the tubing lanes to make sure they are full for the 2023 PASR party when we will get drunk on root beers and Yoo-Hoos and each make one tubing run.
