What is wrong with you? Are you like a part-owner in Blue Mountain? Some secret heir to Bleu? I doubt they're operating at a loss for the entire season.

Hahah those gloves have been through a lot. The gloves ruined the pic. with the Whistler trip, I bought new Hestra and Air Canada paid for them 💃🏼❤️🧳 pretty pumped about it. Have fun in CO!

Hahah that’s awesome. our scoring didn’t have a scale. You either got a 6 or 8 … or a 8,959

Judging with mixle was so fun. I kept one set of signs but passed another set to some randos. @indiggio- where’s this pic from? I snapped this photo of MTB grilling in the lot. Looked gorgeous.

I’ll be there for closing day with Walls. post Villanova shenanigan from last night have made this morning slow… brought extra clothes for pond skimming and scoring numbers for anyone who wants to be a judge

When you say edging …. How specific do you think ski patrol is? cus’ Home Depot has edging in the garden section 😬🤷🏼‍♀️ But I’m sure that’s not what you reallllly need

I just gave notice at my job … and have a new gig starting on Monday, April 25th important life question …. Considering a spontaneous trip. where should I go? (1) New Orleans and hope that Villanova makes it to the championship? I have an epic pass so that gives me some options like: (2) park city? - never fully skied it (3) Stowe - never skied it (4) Colorado and connect with my brother and some old friends.. skiing like Vail, Beaver and Crested Butte?

Isn’t blue closed tomorrow @Ski2Live Live2Ski?

At party day, I was chatting with @Johnny Law So i made these for pond skim day and jammed out to Here Comes The Sixers while painting 🎶 As unofficial pasr judges of pond skimming…. 1) does anyone want numbers? should I make another set? 2) do I add glitter? … and if we don’t get to use them for pond skimming, I’m just going to hold them up to rate @GrilledSteezeSandwich’s dog jokes or @enjoralas’s cooking 🤷🏼‍♀️🎉

Jawnee would make a great billboard This billboard is in Philly…. and by far my least favorite of the Jawn billboard category Jawnee would be a cooler billboard than someone calling themselves “Jawn Morgan” 🙄

Just ended a sess at Blue with @Schif we cooked some eggplant parm, packed the car, and showed up at 7pm. We saw @mbike-skiand @MrsSnowBunSki In the lot. MBike only had 1 ski though… beautiful night. I thought ROTN was challenge. Schif thought ROTN was sidewinder. After skiing, I drank some leftover $9 wine and Schif had a breckenridge porter. Ended the night with eggplant parm in the parking lot. Solid night. Driving to West Pittston for the weekend. Passed the roller skating rink. Holy shit! That place is popping for 10pm on Friday.

Nice single heal piece shot 😂

What’s better… Burt & Ernie beds? Or Bunkbeds though?

Haha true. When you’re driving 3-4 hours round trip every time, it makes you factor in other details. i thought about doing another month Airbnb rental in Utah for like $1000 and skiing on the Ikon again. But I’m likely switching jobs so I’m not sure how entirely flexible their “unlimited pto” is. So I opted against being a vegabond skier again. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nope. At the same time though, Vail offers different l options and benefits. They’ve created a “vacation destination” vibe. (Thank god blue hasn’t). The market share for people who like vacations is larger than the market share of a local ski mountain near allentown with ugh speed lights. Vail Resorts found 2.1 million people to buy advanced passes…. When you change the market share that you’re playing in, it effects the pricing elasticity.

I'm going to geek out about economics for a moment and no one will care. So, thanks for letting me vent Average household income doesn't always dictate what people will spend on recreation activities. It's all about the price elasticity. Spending $650 on a ski pass is totally normal in Colorado and Utah. Most PASRs, myself included, have multiple passes but we're not the norm. I think the price jump will scare away the average person and families in Pennsylvania. Instead of average household income ... I'm curious what the average number of days Blue Mountain pass holders get. We know the PASR and 70+ contingent are getting 30+ days. What about everyone else? I'm going to bet that looking at the total population of pass holders, the average person gets 4-6x days a season. Which, if you're someone who skis 4-6x a season -- it makes the price point more of a tipping point and makes something like a Blue Mountain pass more price elastic.

I think it's incredibly dumb ... to suggest that more people use things like credit cards, especially for non-essentials.

PASR people have the community at Blue. For sure. But for non PASRs who drive 4 hours round trip from Philly or New Jersey... I think the price hike (so early) over the past 3-years will deter people. It really tests the price elasticity of the market.

Saw this… charcuteski on Instagram and seriously thought about doing it for the PASR party But I really think it’s the snow and the views that make the photo so bomb https://www.instagram.com/p/CZzioWMllGg/?utm_medium=copy_link

@toast21602 - this is kinda interesting! (1) There's a ski mountain in Alabama?!! (2) The average pass price (in Pennsylvania for those who have released so far) is $456. (3) 8 mountains in PA released pricing but 20 mountains haven't yet.

I’m going to bring some precooked pierog’s. Will have a side grill to keep them warm on.

I did. jk. I just kept going straight until gps rerouted me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I made fun of the wahoo the sonic going in reverse but I didn’t tell the part of the story where my 4wd suv couldn’t tackle this hill on the way home. 😐

I drove from Philly. The turnpike was reminiscent of Whistler … foggy and a mix of rain/snow. I passed the BMDI and as I started going up, a little car like a sonic decided to go in reverse down the hill … so that was fun. near the AT lots, there were 2 caravans that looked like they got into a fender. a bunch of wahoooooos out there with bald tires and tiny cars. eventually showed up around 9:15 and the gang entertained Wally as I got ready. “free refills” - salty said “Head wall is spicy but the rest of Challenge is great” - Atomic said so at 10’ish, i got off the 6-pack lift and it felt like I had skins on the bottom of my skis coupled with a crazy strong headwind. For all of those who missed the joy of skiing today, this is what it looked like at Challenge. Any new snow was being blown around on top of ice . There were piles of delightttful snow on sidewinder (if you avoided the ice). But overall it was super slow snow. JADIP?

Need a hot glue gun?
