indiggio Posted September 16, 2010 Report Posted September 16, 2010 I see to recall someone at BM asking somewhere what perks season pass holders liked and/or would like to see implemented. Anybody hear about any new perks being added for this season? Personally I'd like the "Open @ 7:30am (or even 7:00am) for season pass holders" to be put at the top of the list. I think these little perks BM gives to their pass holders is what makes them better than any of the other mountains. 2 Quote

toast21602 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Posted September 17, 2010 i agree. something more needs to be done. Quote
indiggio Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Posted September 17, 2010 @mbike-ski: Thanks! Been lurking for a while reading GSS' reports. Never have much to say... @GSS: BM seems to be improving in a negative direction over the years. What ever happened to the twice-daily grooming? Quote
indiggio Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Posted September 17, 2010 Mmmm....Sad to say I've been skiing Little Gap, er, Blue since, well, let's just say early 80's. I recall when season passes were $200.00. The absolute best skiing was Sunday night. We'd get there for the Sunday twilight pass and get out to Main St. as the groomers were coming up on their final run. Weekend crowds were gone and we'd have fresh cord and no boilerplate to ski until closing. Ah, the days... I don't think it would be such a hassle to open at 7:30 for passholders. Yeah, I get it that some employees would have to get there a bit early, but not all and ski patrol are probably already there anyway getting their first tracks in. I really think it would work w/out too much expense to Blue. I have to admit that the VIP line is one of the best perks going, when they police it. I actually think they did a pretty good job policing it on the weekends by having an attendant at the head of the line. Also to 10% food discount is beneficial as well, but doesn't get you back a whole lot as you say. Quote
RootDKJ Posted September 17, 2010 Report Posted September 17, 2010 Indiggio, are you one of the people waiting to be scanned in at 759am on Saturdays and Sundays at Blue at the lower lodge? Quote
AngryHugo Posted September 17, 2010 Report Posted September 17, 2010 c'mon. everyone loves the VIP Lounge. where is it again? Quote
AtomicSkier Posted September 17, 2010 Report Posted September 17, 2010 c'mon. everyone loves the VIP Lounge. where is it again? haha i laughed out loud. Quote
indiggio Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Posted September 17, 2010 Indiggio, are you one of the people waiting to be scanned in at 759am on Saturdays and Sundays at Blue at the lower lodge? Sometimes. Most of the time I'm too lazy to drive all the way down the other side, so I'm one of those waiting up at the top shack to get in the first run down. Might be all those years of not having a lower lodge, my brain automatically makes the turn, since I'm still half-asleep! Quote
indiggio Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Posted September 17, 2010 haha i laughed out loud. Can we trade in the VIP lounge for early opening? Quote

Internets, what the hell are they anyway? Are they something you go fishing with or what? I wonder how they did with the air bag??? Sure didn't seem to be such a big draw or get a lot of use each time I was up there. Yeah forgot about the free tubing. It is kinda fun for a ride or two. They need to put some jumps on them to make it more exciting. 1 Quote
First Grade Teacher Posted September 18, 2010 Report Posted September 18, 2010 I haven't been tubing at Blue since high school..do they offer lessons?? I don't want to look like a noob.. You need a ski lesson first! 3 Quote
