I can't wait to read about what you complain about!!!!

Blue is actually steep for 800-900 vert
-
The rocket and the asp are nothing like anything at Blue because they flatten out so fast.
-
I can only think of 5 blacks at Camelback. The front four and cliffhanger
-
I go to Camelback when they open before Blue or if they stay open later. Haven't been there in almost 5 years.

Ok No two runs at Blue are alike. The first big pow pow day I'll show you honeybee bowl SaltyAnt..it will change your life. You'll probably end up moving to Jackson hole or Chamonix..growing your hair out and end up being a ski guide. Sorry no Chinese buffets in those places and the women have hairy armpits and don't mind being called dude

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.

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...- 165 replies

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.- 165 replies
