noofus Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Who's gonna brave it? I will be there Saturday and Sunday for opening bell. Likely to ditch around 11:30 when the busses from NY start rolling in... Last year I was taking a break at the base and was sitting on a bench. Some fat lady sat on me and exclaimed in a thick Brooklyn accent "Oh I didnt see anyone there!" No appology, just the exclamation... Get ready for the moving slalom course that gets set up on Lazy Mile Quote
toast21602 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 yeah man its going to be packed i think... i'll be there all three days for opening, then rolling out around the same time, if not earlier. Quote
kragan Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 I am going to try and hit Blue either Sat or Sun depending on how a certain purchase does or does not pan out. This will be 2 weekends in a row skiing the true mountain ... I don't think that I have ever done that. Quote
sexkitten Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Bob and I will be there on Saturday morning. I forgot about the holiday... whatever. Quote
moe ghoul Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 I'll be hittin it at least twice midweek after Monday, must be a storm moving in by then. Quote
noofus Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 Every midwinter weekend at Blue is like a Holiday weekend..lol..at least this season..wow Blue is making some serious money.. Oh but the VIP line makes this so much more bearable! I wonder if its going to help with crowds this weekend though since people think VIP line applies to them even with a day ticket. When they were running the races last week at Blue and it was crowded they actually posted a guy at the VIP line and checked passes! Awesome! Quote
noofus Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 I think there will once again be a ticket checker in the VIP line...personally with the 6-pack and quad running with full capacity..the trails are just way to freaking crowded..At least you can get a few empty runs first thing but with the 8AM opening I lose 4 empty runs compared to when they opened at 730AM on weekends and holidays..anyway I'm getting changed for skiing right now.. I like to start on Lazy Mile for the most part when its empty. When that starts getting crowded, I move to Challenge and Razors. When the power-wedgers get onto those in full force, I head for Barneys. I find that Challenge and Razors get crowded a little later, I guess it takes some people time to work up the courage to power-wedge down them. Doing things in that order lets me extend my day when its crowded an extra hour or so... (OK so that means bailing at 11:30 instead of 10:30) Quote

Well the purchase didn't pan out (probably better for my wallet) so I am shooting for opening Saturday morning until the lines become unreal. Quote
