I just posted about the trash probleM on Blues FB page. I don’t think there’s a blue rep on here anymore. We used to have Ice Eichelon who’s a snowmaker but he left PASR

Freefall is closed, makes sense it was getting thin the other day. They really haven’t blown much snow on that since November.

One of my boomer customers text me a picture and I got this and they said sorry the pictures on my laptop and I sent this from my phone. photo04 d0 8e b770a7‡126 9b 1333684140000.jpeg

This was a lot of days in a row of going to work without skiing first. At least they’re back open tomorrow morning.

Yup that’s where Root is from

Hey All, Its almost another weekend. Is anybody skiing Blue mountain the true mountain this weekend? Looks like nice weather and the snow could be fast. Might be busy with bear creek peeps so arrive early

Reopening tomorrow with 28 runs. They had 29 runs open before, I don’t know which run they lost.

I’m confident the new lift will open in 2023

It would be nice if we could use the new lift this season.

I agree..don’t punish your customers.

You got a week there better than I imagine some future seasons will be at Bear creek. It’s just geographically disadvantaged. Sucks to suck.

Did you enjoy mountain creek?

It’s almost starting to sound like the Poconos is starting to turn ghetto lol oh wait it’s been becoming more and more ghetto my entire life. It’s the same trash that’s moved into Allentown from NY and NJ. While the Philly fucks are rude, rowdy and mushmouth, at least they take a little pride.

Have they been confronted?

I think the big cans helped, it at least kept the trash in a designated area. Both blue and hundreds of patrons are to blame for the trash. Because my work is along a busy road, there’s trash almost daily in the yard. I could just leave it and let it pile up since it wasn’t my fault but it makes us look bad. It’s usually like fast food bags and lottery scratch off tickets. The worst is when there’s used masks.

Nope and no garbage cans under the lifts. It’s embarrassing. Under the quad there’s thousands of empty cans, bottles and other trash. Blue has what, a couple hundred employees, send a few up and down the liftlines with garbage bags.

Now they’re charging $125 for Saturday. Maybe they should factor conditions and demand into their dynamic pricing.

I know that being open today would require grooming which at these sorts of temps melts more snow and also even a couple hundred skied making ten runs each in warm weather melts more snow then that sloppy soupy mush has to be groomed again in 50 something degree temps. I just hope the weather moderates a bit.

This vlog pops up in my YouTube videos from time to time. It’s a vlog of a ski patroller at Brian Head Utah and it seems like a real down to earth place. A lot of interaction between patrol and all the people who work throughout the resort. Very long days.

Allentown temperature= 60 Mount Pocono = 53 Scranton = 60 Binghamton = 56 Saranac lake = 35 and rain Montreal Canada = 35…gotta got to Quebec City to get snowmaking temps at 30 degrees a measly 9 hours north. Phoenix is 65 Flagstaff is 34 I’m guessing PaRidge needs a light jacket tonight. Up in Boulder it’s 32 and 16 degrees up in Silverthorne..ABasin has finished snowmaking for the season. Their water lease ends 12/31 but Mother Nature will power them through until June or July. Up in Jackson it’s 21 degrees and Bozeman is a mild 26. Jackson is usually colder than Bozeman despite being south due to less urban heat/lack of an interstate and being 1500 feet higher. Whitefish is 27 degrees and again another 1500 feet lower than Bozeman. Every 100 feet of elevation gained cancels out being many miles farther north. That’s why the southern Appalachian mountains receive more annual snowfall than many New England cities.

None of us skied Blue the last two days so WTGAI bear for staying open.

I wonder if Blue is also MILF central in the lodge. I haven’t been in the lodge except for the bathroom is years.

The valley cam is back, I think Blue is gonna make it, just barely. I took screenshots of the vista and tubing cams earlier and will do another one tomorrow afternoon to compare the difference.

I don’t think it’s worth the drive to see a fancy lodge. I see enough of those on ski trips out west but glad a few still represent BC here.

Sorry meant you. The last time I was there was February of 1995 when I was 15 and it was Doe mountain. Once and done for me.
