It’s Dah Wayne Wayne

Is there really no coming soon tomorrow? They saving for the weekend or don’t wanna run the quad?

@saltyant this is getting good!!!

WOW must be a microclimate hard to believe how much Dirtwolf received.

Everybody remember your passes…poles..wallet..skis…steeze…boots…

A lot of kids had their first cig or joint on those middle school ski club nights. Great stuff!!!

I bought new ski stuff for the first time in two years. So far new poles and a new pair of socks. Spent over $70 at Buckmans. Gonna have to order new spring gloves online, they have nothing decent there for gloves.

Vamos

They might be pounding out snow on Coming Soon

Dime wears rose colored glasses…I try to be an optimist but I’m more of a realist…

What was funny is Johnny style who’d been skiing there since the 80s never even skied it when I visited. I want to go back though. Not a lot of powder hounds like most places.

I can’t wait to ask everybody how Floyd’s is @enjoralas calls it Lloyd’s lol

Is lower main gonna make or break your experience? I’m one of those it’s all about the base people cause seen too many ski seasons where they either had to close a few days or down to almost nothing cause spread so thin…one more cold spell like this before Xmas they’ll be like 2/3 open

I think Blue has pretty legit trail names IMHO..at least it’s not some theme like Shawnee or Camelback. I’d Blue mountain had a pirate theme or like some sort of Disney+FurryFocker thing would be wicked weird

My skis are dryer and older than you know what lol

Hey All, It’s almost opening day and opening weekend. In two and a half short days, Blue mountain the true mountain opens for their 48th season. They snowmaking cannons have been going balls to the walls for several days and continued seasonably cold weather with periods of sun and clouds will persist throughout the weekend. Anybody planning on skiing this weekend or are yall waiting until more terrain opens? I’m planning on being there…and I think it’s gonna be a nice opening weekend. I usually don’t start these threads until Wednesday but I’m so Excited….

I’m 99.9% sure not

I agree and mentioned it. When I was in middle school the beginner package with the school with first time lesson vista and school hill ticket and rental was like $20 and lift and rental was $19 for all area ticket and just lift ticket was $14. There were also coupons galore for like $25/35 first time in skis packages. The barrier to entry to ski a lot is high but to just learn at a local spot maybe should be a little less cause you hook them and then they buy a bunch of stuff

Have you skied Long shot at Aspen Snowmass yet? Interesting him to blue square trail that’s super super long

I think their focus is on getting a solid base on Paradise, Barbs Bush and easy out vista to Burma. Lazy is a fairly fast run for them to open, people on Blues FB were complaining about Main Street.

You love sitting on the back of your skis for that extra boost.

I’m guessing 17+ trails 4-6 routes. Gonna be a real nice one. The new Blue is spoiling us early season. No upper lot Main Street chair mumbo jumbo. The Chinese downhill is fun but love the cruising options for opening day and people spread out more.

They could easily open tomorrow or Wednesday but the juice isn’t worth the squeeze..build up that base expand the terrain. The guy who runs snowmaking and mountain operations doesn’t mess around…high five to the snowmakers out in the cold

Guess I’m not the only one checking out the webcams. This is just incredible stuff to see. This morning it was below 20 in the A…upper 30s in the afternoon felt pretty nice.

I sort of like when it’s lazy with no falls but I’m a bit contrarian..
