Awesome views from there. All around Lehigh gorge actually has some of the best overlooks in the area.
-
I didn’t even know that was there. Damn
-
Which observation deck? The one up on flagstaff or the 100 mile view? Either way this sucks. Lots of homes near there. You can smell it up this way.

I know…crazy. My daughter said she might head up today. If it keeps snowing you never know, could be open when you go. I think may 5th or something is around there is officially the closing date, but that could change. Crazy that they’re pushing 200 inches when they were in a drought the first 4 months of the season.

Same here. It hits different after ski season is over though
-
Yeah if ski season is over around here then warm tf up. Low supposed to hit 19 degrees tonight.
-
Felt weird staying in this morning. Not that it matters but judging by the webcams there's no way they would have been able to open this weekend.
-
Props to blue on a great season.

If you call the main phone number 610-826-7700, it says "blue mountain is closed for the season"

Interested for sure to see. It's so warm (70) and humid outside.now. When I look across the valley I can't even see blue. It's a haze. Thursday and Fri are supposed to be like this too. Yes nmdw has a ton of snow but is it enough to get down through homestretch and back to the lift, not to mention from the lift up top to the actual trail? My guess is if they open it's Vista only depending on how the snow fares over there. Either way I'm ok to hang 'em up and embrace camping and hiking weather.

Bittersweet leaving today. I feel like this may be it for the season. Sad for that...but happy that it really was another great season. Thanks for spoiling us again with the food @enjoralas. As for the skiing. Good coverage all things considered. Yesterday took it's toll in spots. Like @GrilledSteezeSandwich said it was probably the quietest that I can recall seeing blue on a weekend. I can't imagine they're making much money so a shout out to Blue for opening up for the pass holders this weekend (and maybe next). Definitely grateful for that

Yeah I don't think that was right. 77now

According to my car, 20 minutes from blue but within eye sight, it’s 81.

Fun morning. The valley was deceiving temp wise early on as, on the lift ride up about half way up, it felt like the beach. Fun spring ski day regardless and the amount of snow still on the mountain, on March 29th (while others are now closed for the season), is downright impressive. Blue does a really nice job of pushing snow around. Will be interesting to see what tomorrow looks like after 80 degrees today.

Happened to me at killington a long time ago. Waited about an hour on the k1 chair. Once it started moving they had people handing out vouchers a the top redeemable for a free soft drink. A free latte from first tracks would have been a nice gesture for you guys
-
I must say that I love the “we’re gonna go as long as we can” approach. Reminds me of old school killington.
-
Not to be a negative Nelly but I'm still predicting that they close after Sunday
-
I’m predicting that they pull the plug on Sunday. If so I’m more than good with it

For @AtomicSkier you'd probably want to drop the one minute from the downhill time.
-
Awesome day today... @enjoralas you, sir, are a king. We may ski on a tiny bump in PA, but we have the best crew anywhere!
-
I appreciate the northern lights heads up posts @AirheadD8. Do you know what time. Can't really tell from the screenshot
-
Way better than expected today. What's open has way better coverage than I anticipated. Props to blue...not only for the snow pack but for the litter clean up efforts. It's not fully cleaned but it's clear they made the effort. 65 to 70% is gone and it looks way better. But the good news doesn't end there. There are now no littering signs and trash cans at the entrance to each lift. All positive steps and keep up the good work there Blue! Back to the skiing...runs of the day for me were para weaver and the three runs through sleepy hollow to lower main. Sleepy hollow has a sliver in and a sliver out but if you go too low you had to ski through dirt or do you best Van Halen and Jump. Kept things interesting.Overall happy with conditions considering it's March 22nd.
