NYC people have been coming to Blue for years. Staten Island is especially close.

New Jersey, Philly, NYC, Lehigh valley, DE and even Maryland peeps like blue..I don't blame them. It's a great place to ski and offers big mountain skiing and riding so close.

SallyAnn I like how you spell Elan wrong.

You were a first time skier not long ago have some empathy the only difference between a gaper from jersey and a gaper from hazleton is the amount of hair gel used.

How much vert do blues two high speed lifts get you?? How many runs like razors, switchback and nightmare to dreamweaver does Camelback have??

Whatever you're smoking I want some.

Good point GrilledSteeze Blue has been open 4 more days than Camelback so far but no galactic tubing and no free cocoa..

Why would you defend Camelback? It sucks.

Are you on Tinder???

SaltyAnt how did you come up with your screename??

The PA liquor control board does not allow bars to sell any alcohol below cost so they can sell domestic drafts for $1 but can't sell Guinness draft for $1 as a bars cost is about $1.50ish per pint on Guinness. Selling $2 IPAs is smart..some people will end up ordering more expensive mixed drinks or shots or food...

It's lemonade stand economics. It's so simple. I truly think they would have sold at least 50% more tickets today at $39 vs $52 and since skiing is a service and there aren't any additional marginal costs for more skiers and riders coming the goal is to pack in more people. Each extra person could potentially have to rent, need a lesson, buy food or maybe buy something they forgot like gloves or a face mask. Back to the numbers if Blue sold 100 tickets during the daytime today at $52 each I'd be surprised and that's $5200 in revenue. If they charged $39 a ticket and even sold 150 tickets that's $5850 and im being very conservative with my figures I think the difference between $52 and $39 is just so psychologically huge. $39 is a great early season price point. Over $50 seems expensive especially with just the loser lifts running.

OMG that reminded me of Root as well..I'm laughing so hard..thanks for that..your friend Skifreak

What about Root??? I actually don't drink any more. I don't drink any less either..yuk yuk yuk

That's gotta be the closest skiing to Reverand Runs house who's house??? runs house lol

That is huge!!! Camelback is only staying a few steps behind Blue mountain. Way to get after it camel.

I think it's dumb that Blue was charging full price today...I really think they'd make more revenue selling tickets at $39 a piece vs $52 that they were charging. It's only a $13 difference but psychologically it seems more. People on their FB page were complaining about the price and they said that they always go to full price when lazy mile opens. Just because it's the way it's always been doesn't make it right and they made it seem like they were doing people a big favor only charging $39 on shitshow Sunday.

Is Camelback even open during the week yet? Elk and Montage aren't even open yet and I'm feeling farty.

Blue is doing well. I figured big Boulder would be near 100% by now and they only have three runs open.

Guns will be going nonstop until Sunday wooooooo. Tuts lane looks ready.

I'll be arriving at the upper lot a little before 7pm probably ski till 9pm then have a beer or two in the lot.

New terrain for Saturday when the six pack opens. Enjoy your holiday party.
