Schif

I actually did the payment plan last year. Not a huge upfront spend which was nice.

Glad you got to experience Tussey, what do you think of that wooden quad with the post in the middle?

I'm really jealous of you midweek guys

Shoveling here in Philly was more about pushing the slush into the storm drain. I just hope it sticks around at Blue until the weekend

Fixed it for you

Speaking of hi-vis. If Saturday does turn into a 60 degree day would anyone be interested in a double dip, ski and then bike?

You should 100% go ski with the kids. Plus kids aren't know as first chair people so you can still go to Blue, have fun, have a beer or two, and then scoot over to Boulder to show them how it's done.

I know this didn't work well for Montage, but I wonder if the government would ever consider buying up just the land that a ski resort is operating on. Aren't a lot of resorts out west just operating on public lands? I would envision the state of Pennsylvania getting involved. Sure it would be a big outflow of cash in the short term, but those funds would likely get put into improvements at the mountain and then the Commonwealth would have some income from leasing it back to the resort company in perpetuity (or until winter stops happening in PA).

Is this trail ever not closed for racing? I was actually thinking about an afternoon/evening session this week and getting on Razors was one of the big reasons I wanted to brave night skiing.

Today I thought main Street was just like a strip club in Quebec, Le Tits. Could really let it rip on there today. Mostly everything else besides chute was also tits. Bon voyage to the crew heading to Jackson. Looking forward to the reports.

I may be wrong, but I heard somewhere it was intended to be mixed with moonshine.

If Saturday and/or Sunday turn into a shit show, would anyone be interested in heading somewhere after Blue for some touring? Assuming there is enough snow on the ground

I've long heard he's an agile mofo, this proves it.

You guys went pretty far north today. Did you stop anywhere or is that a pretty easy round trip?

Hot take: Season Pass holders are the new day ticket people. There are so many pass holders now that it doesn't make a ton of financial sense to just buy day tickets. We are unfortunately less special now.

That's the big castle you try to either defend or attack at Skirmish Paintball. I only went there once but it was fun.

That is some phenomenal tech. I take back some of what I said about KSL.

That's one small thing that KSL strives for.

KSL has absolutely no idea what they are doing. Looks like they have 33 properties. 31 of them are hotels, mostly on beaches. Owning Blue and Camelback is just a portfolio diversifier for them. I think they are learning the hard way that it's a way different operation than running a hotel.

Let's talk about the season passholder VIP lines. It seems like there were tons of people complaining about them, right? Well, I'm sorry to rain on the parade here, but if everyone is a VIP then no one is a VIP, and that line would be just as backed up single file as the rest of them. If I was Blue right now, I would be going over the data from Sunday. Figuring out how many people going through those gates were Blue Passholders vs Ikoners vs day tickets. I'm sure it's a wildly complex model, but the smartest thing to do is to be able to understand uphill capacity vs demand across those 3 groups and then both price and limit your day ticket sales accordingly. They are trying to walk a fine line between leaving money on the table and leaving customers in gigantic lines and we all know how that went for them this past weekend.

Wow. Of all the things they could have done to help with the shit show today I wouldn't have guessed this in a million years

Today was a day. Drive up sucked, the lines were absolutely unbearable. Snow was great, parking lot was phenomenal. This might have been the first day at Blue where I would say that the snowboarding part of being there wasn't worth the trip. I've legitimately had more fun on days with terrible conditions. The mental hurdle of fighting that hoard every run was just too much. Also there were Dino nuggets and veal so today was a good day, thanks for that guys.

Sunday for me. Hopefully it's not too spicy

It's already been downgraded to just be 6 inches total. Trust the Buoy
