Thats not gonna make for the greatest weekend then.

with 2 buddy passes. thats a steal. I hope they will do the $50 with the payment plan. i think they did it last year. i spend money like crazy this time of year so the payment plan hurts a mush less. Downside is with the dumpster fire that was Camelback this year, Blue is gonna be busier. I cant for the life of me figure why people continue to go there.

My driveway is lookin pretty shiny too right about now, but its flat so very manageable. My deck was fairly treacherous as well, but i worked on that a little on Sunday when it was raining to knock that down to just mildly treacherous. im not a fan of salt or calcium either. that shit just inevitably gets tracked all over inside the house. People in the development posting on FB looking for people to come spread salt on their driveways like crazy.

Power is back on, i think it went back on around midnight. so, i figured out why when the wind blew, there was always this weird banging noise, which whenever i heard it, i thought to myself what ever it is, it will self correct. Turns out it was either the window shutter or downspout that got ripped off my house that was loose and making noise with the wind. No more noise, i mean obviously since neither of them are attached to the house anymore. Crazy windy though.

Im back in Delco, but thanks anyways.

Great. Power is out. I hear a few generators running. Time to go add to that i guess.

The snow that has fallen on top of everything around my house which is covered in ice, now brings "slippery" to a new level.

its seems to bother some in Utah over Alta. Dom and i talked to a bunch of guys at Snowbird and they gave us some "Alta Snowboard Team" stickers.

So, i could see Mr. Moore keeping things status quo, but i would think any new owner buying a run down ski joint (and yes, i'm gonna say it, but there is nothing new about Elk, and anyone purchasing it should see it needs many lift upgrades) would welcome any type of additional skier visits. I would bet that Indy has really helped out Magic, which i mean, look at that place. Wanna talk about a shoe string budget? But they totally embrace the Indy pass. Buying a pre existing ski joint these days seems to me like a huge gamble, unless you have some type of huge corporation behind you with deep pockets. If i was buying Elk i would do what i could to get Blue Mountain crowds there every day.

Were you able to talk to any long time season passholders about who owns the place now?

Nice. you should take @Benm. High speed lifts.

Nice. i think i will save mine for this. Second dumb question, i want to give my buddy passes to two specific people to use at their leisure. do i transfer them via email, or do i go to guest services and turn them into an RFID card?

how do you do that? can you enter it on the website when you go to renew?

Dont forget - for those of you with a Blue pass, its probably a good idea to use up that $50 credit, and buddy passes before renewing.

i didnt consider this. its a likely scenario for sure.
