I still don't see where you're seeing any prices? I enter that user/pass, click "See Available Items" and I get "No available Items". There is a bug in their website though, and I can see how you're seeing the non-group prices. I'd wait until the real prices are posted.

where do you see that price? I get "No Items Available".

At this time of year, running the heat pump costs very little to heat the house, so might as well be comfortable. It's when we switch to oil (anything below 35 or 40) is when it gets costly.

My heat kicked on when I got home from work (set to heat at 68 cool at 72).

It's at the intersection of 423/196 (I think). Closest place is probably JF/BB or Camelback. Probably a 15-20 minute drive to either.

A few lakes...the army depot...and some awesome driving roads

I'm pretty sure last years flyers said "VIP Line at Challenge Express" now that I think about it.

Yes...and? Are you implying that only the 6pack will have a VIP line? I sort of doubt that, but rather, they're just advertising it for the lift that's used the most. The VIP line on the quad was more of a VIP+Raceteam+ski patrol all in one. It was rather nice though, since everyone used the 6pack line

heh...I made up a PASR membership card, and they took it. Granted this was 4 or 5 years ago, but how do they know if its a legit ski club? It was back when Mark was the GM (is he still?)

Have you seen the season pass holder line? There is easily 2000 pass holders, would be my guess? GSS is good at stuff like this...he'd have a more educated guess.

And to think I was just complaining about Blue's pass being $635 before Nov 15. Although, the cost/run due to crowds at Blue is probably lower at Elk

There was a pic in the morning call I believe, and the dump truck was lying on its side. Pretty sucky situation.

1/2 to 3/4 of a mile east of the most eastern point of Paradise.

Or....more people will keep coming back because of the amenities and make everything more crowded . I think Blue is truly nearing it's capacity in terms of being able to 'fit' people on the mountain. Time for some new trails Barb

Exactly. Sure, they may have needed it, and unfortunately, day trippers care more about the carpet then they do available terrain, or grooming, etc. They spend more time in the lodge, anyway.

What have they done to the bottom lodge?

I didn't see any official pics, but I happened to see these on Michael Maniscalco's facebook...holy shit...no wonder passes are $630+

Some new stoke I found...

It's going to be a judgement call this year about opening weekend in the east. I'm not doing that fckin stairway to heaven again at Kmart. Mount Snow had the best opening terrain when it beat Kmart a few years ago, but Kmart wasn't bad when it was t-b. It was insane last year.

Temperatures are definitely dropping. If only this rain would hold off for a few months...we'd have 400" of snow by now.

didn't even have the windows down on the way to work today...just moonroof...feels nice

sure...why not.

He struggles with standing at high altitude.
