Sweet that should get most of the terrain open for your visit.

Lower Sidewinder is open y’all.

Hey All, I’m back from another fun morning at Blue mountain the true mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 7:17am and it was in the mid 20s with a rising sun and light to moderate winds. First civilian quad with BenM, Atomic Jeff and JFDan. Also in the house were Toast, Mixilplix, Indiggio, Gary, Gary, BethlehemFord crew, Matt Edge and Root. Coming soon was pretty slick but not terrible and lower paradise was better than yesterday. Upper paradise had very nice groomed snow almost a western groomer and lapped that a few times. Lazy mile wasn’t great but the falls skied better than yesterday. Lower raceway was still firm mini cookies, midway was alright and lower Main Street they blew water on so not that good. We even ventured to Burma which was mad technical yo..all ice and cookies. Crowds today spilled in a little more quickly than yesterday but still less than weekdend crowds at least in the morning. I hungout in the lot for about an hour and enjoyed the sunshine and some beer now back at work and have five new voicemails. JADIP

They’re the future until they discover sex, drugs, rock and roll and terrain parks.

That’s a lot of $100 bills.

I didn’t mention snowmaking and trail expansion. The snowmaking cannons were blasting on the east side of tubing, nightmare to dreamweaver, razors, upper Main Street and come around..Upper main could open tomorrow. I heard the new lift might open Friday. I don’t know which Friday. The rest of this cold spell I’m hoping they are least get started in switchback and challenge. It’s weird razors opening before challenge. If razors is closed for racing and challenge isn’t open yet, that’s no good. #SkierProblems Some years they’re barely even open now. New Years morning is always foggy I can tell you that and looks to be again this year. One year it was so foggy I put my right foot into my left boot…I thought I was being punked.

Hey all, I’m back from another morning session at Blue mountain. I arrived at the lower lot at 7:16am and it was in the low to mid 20s under mostly cloudy sky’s with light winds. In the house were Atomic Jeff, JFDan, Dirtwolf, Indiggio and BenM. Second civilian quad to coming soon which was ok..not that smooth. Lower Paradise was vastly improved from yesterday. I thought upper Paradise was real good and lazy Mile was variable some slick some ok and the Falls was good. Curzis Raceway dead husband was open which made access to midway to lower Main Street slightly faster. Midway was pretty nice and left side of lower main wasn’t bad. There were way more crowds yesterday than today, I think alot of people have work today the first hour I managed 7 runs and no Crowds on the runs and the next few runs had some crowds on the trails but manageable and no liftlines. It was actually less crowded than some weekday mornings due to the 8am start. After skiing hungout in the lot a little bit, had one beer and now heading into work. JADIP. Ski some of you tomorrow.

@saltyant how was your date?)

Whether it’s next week, next month, or next year, I’ll be happy…

I wanted to take the vista lift so I could ski Curzis Widow from the top of raceway

Set two alarms…it’s gonna be good.

+++++VIBES+++++ at least you know where your truck is.

Who’s Mike? You see MBike mike?

No different than the Thursday nights with all the school kids.

Sorry missed you in the list of people saw you on your skis.

Salty did you get to ski curzies cabin?

When I was in 6th grade the price through ski school was $14 for lift ticket, $19 for lift ticket and rental and $21 for the first time on skis package which was vista chair lift ticket, lesson and rental. The transportation was free thanks to the Allentown school district taxpayers. They used to have mens night, ladies night, ski club night all for that Sunday night special price. I think they should throw in a few specials for the new and casual skiers and riders. Maybe like a throwback Thursday or Tuesday a few days/nights during the season and some sort of special for winterfest which sadly I usually miss because I’m in Jackson hole but it looks rad.

All good points..owning and operating a ski resort seems super stressful so hats off to those who show up earlier than us to get the place up and running and the people paying $115 plus $40 rental plus $25 lunch plus $75 gloves lucked out big time today and got all our parking spots in a 30 second fury.

I was telling VTMark earlier about how night lift tickets used to be like $28 and he said hehehehe in the 90s. Yeah in the 90s…in the early 90s was even cheaper than that.

For the first time this season there is a wait to get into Blue mountains Estore. I guess alot of people are spending that Xmas cash. The price for 8 hour lift tickets beginning at any time. They don’t have the 4 hour lift tickets anymore. I think the 8 hour ticket makes people stay longer so they spend more money.

That’s a nice time to ski with the setting sun..enjoy and post a report. Lazy mile is good.
