skiincy

On the road to Loveland now, about 30 min out - getting there around 6:40am. We’ll eat some lodge breakfast and get in line early for the 8am chair. open snow was predicting 1-3 feet of snow. Loveland’s website said at 5am there was 7” in the past 12 hours, and 10” in the past 24 hours. JDAIP

Ehhh it’s not that bad.

Look at the details though... You CAN go to Breckenridge, Okemo unlimited with the Epic Local Pass. Epic Local is unlimited at Breck, Keystone, JF/BB. Park City is unlimited with day restrictions around the holidays. https://www.epicpass.com/passes/epic-local-pass.aspx The full epic for $909 makes sense if you're skiing for more than 10+ days at Vail, Beaver Creek, or Whistler. It also makes sense if you plan to ski on/around Christmas.

Eh. $909 is for the full unlimited though. Look at the different options @saltyant If you plan in advance, you can likely get by with the Epic Local, which is $676. The same price as Blue. The main difference between the full and the "local" is the restriction on holiday dates and limits to 10 days at Vail, Beaver, & Whistler each. It's not that bad.

I think it’s funny that Wally was listed 😂

I prefer the 19th. Me and Schif arrive to PHL on Sunday 3/19 at 6:30am.. we’ll be jacked up on Red Bull but we’ll make it to the lot for the blue sess of the season.

Yeah. Lines were non existent at Blue. i was really surprised. Accidentally slept in. Someone didn’t set an alarm. Someone hit snooze. But got on the snow by 8:45am fortunately. loved cruzis cabin / main steeet / switchback. dream weaver and coming soon we’re good.

@GrilledSteezeSandwich- that last photo should be posted on Blues website since they love to use stock images. Maybe they can use it near the photo of the bubble chair. —— I was waiting for the Schif at the top of the OG-6 and tried to catch a photo of the PASR crew. No one is looking though 🤷🏼‍♀️ when @saltyantwas above us, I snapped this pic of the row. @Benm looks like he’s in a mega church and getting his praise on.😂 on the way back to Philly, we saw this helicopter dangling doodads on mcarthur road. Snow was sugary. Lazy Mile was my fav run and dreamweaver was my least. Entertaining day regardless.

Turns out Blue opens at 9am…. never in the history of skiincy and schif have we been this early to anything - to ever.

@Schifand I drove from Scranton. Took 80 to 309/33 to wind gap. Drove on Blue Mountain Drive. we passed “blue mountain village” . We never come that way so it was new to us. I’ve never seen so many rectangular houses on a pond. we pulled in to bleu and chatted with @Benmfor a bit Lines were slightly out of the gates with full corrals. here’s a photo I took as we were leaving to give you an idea of the scene We skied paradise and it was eh partially because it was so crowded Snowguns were full blast on razors and a few others. Excited for the new terrain then we skied coming soon which made paradise seem like a parrra parra paradise mike wanted to ski the chute to lower main, so we parted ways at met at the bottom, dodging gapers like it was frogger given the ice, we strolled to car. We chatted about cosmic tubing then BOOM black out. It was hard to tell if they were wooots or yells echoing in the distance. naturally, we cracked some beers and took a ziploc of leftover ham to watch the chaos ensue. Mike took the same photo but had night vision on his phone. It looks lighter but man was it dark. coming soon lights stayed on somehow. And as we watched, you could we people starting to ski down with flash lights. Power was maybe off for 10-15 minutes or so. definitely a night to remember 😂

Schif and I had a morning of friends and family holiday stuff. Since we’re driving to Philly, we’re making a stop at Bleu. Hope the power doesn’t go out again…. We’ll be there at 3:45 to dusk likely. Maybe we’ll see you, @Benm

Hi @saltyant- I found her. Please bring the yoohoo to the lot this weekend. Random church website in Vegas On a different chat bot website for Salesforce manufacturing On Kenya's ministry of defense website On an Australian mattress website On a translation service website I think we all know how much Blue loves their stock photos considering they had a picture of a bubble chair on their website for years.

I'm not sure if you'll learn the dance moves... It's about how Somen Banerjee started Chippendales. Previously, he worked at a gas station - and just saved up a ton of money to open a backgammon bar which eventually become Chippendales.

You must have just watched the Chippendales documentary on Hulu.... If you haven't yet- it's really fascinating. No thanks on the calendar. I'll pass this year.

Bummer that I missed it! Glad you got after it. On Saturday night, PPA decided to relocate my car in a 'dude's where my car' x Parking Wars remix. Threw off the ski plans for Sunday. 😑

I was curious who was famous so I just checked out Blue's instagram .... and it seems like they lost their account somehow. When you click on the social icons at their website, it leads to "page not found" and there's no Blue Mountain (Pennsylvania) on insta https://www.instagram.com/bluemtresort/

Hey! What a great day! It felt like the first day back to school. Hearing about everyone’s summer adventures and milestones. In the AM, the crowd gathered by the quad. This was likely taken around 8:45am. The line wasn’t much longer than what’s shown in this pic. you can see Jeff + rando / 2nd and 3rd chair of more PASRs I was so impressed by how many runs were opened from top to bottom. But while riding up, it’s as expected. Quite bare. I loved Paradise. Later in the morning - Where coming soon & paradise meet - I ran into a gaggle of more PASRs and here are some of them skiing down. You can see Jeff, Mixil and others below. by the end of the day, the clouds opened up and parking lot cracked the inaugural beers of the skison

@Schifand I will be there for opening day. then likely Saturday or Sunday with Wally, depending on weather and when we leave NEPA to go back to Philly 🤷🏼‍♀️

So cool @Mixilplix!

I was told that PASR is "getting good" now that we're a week away Send the bat signal. Do the roll call. I was totally not expecting them to open this early.

😂😂😂

Wommmm wom I’m out. I have a rager of a 2nd and 6th birthday party in NC. have fun though. Throw back some fireball.

Are we talking about rappers popular in the late 90/early 2000s? besides Snoop Dog, a lot fell off the scene. Little Kim? DMX? sure don’t hear about them lately.

Is anyone going to Oktoberfest at Blue Sept 24-25? https://skibluemt.com/upcoming-events/oktoberfest/ I mostly just want to see the lift in progress...

Looks like a handful of people bought 2. Greg Condon got 10. Curious what he's doing with them.
