AngryHugo Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 Night skiing on 100% of the resort = we changed the burned-out lightbulbs 3 Quote
Switchsideskier. Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Posted October 11, 2010 Bet the red coats are gonna really enforce the no skiing in the "glades" at night Quote
toast21602 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 glades? really? but you can't skl off-trail. oh well. at least they tried. Quote
Switchsideskier. Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Posted October 11, 2010 glades? really? but you can't skl off-trail. oh well. at least they tried. Ya I know right, I bet they are just the little cut outs on the side of tuts lane that have been there forever lol Quote
toast21602 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 Ya I know right, I bet they are just the little cut outs on the side of tuts lane that have been there forever lol whatever it is, i'm at least glad they are making some terrain related improvements. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted October 11, 2010 Report Posted October 11, 2010 This is very progressive for Blue. I'm impressed. Can't wait to see these glades, or where they'll be? Quote
DiMe Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 This is very progressive for Blue. I'm impressed. Can't wait to see these glades, or where they'll be? If these glade trails are top to bottom, they sold me I'll be buying my pass at Blue...... more infoooooooo Quote
AtomicSkier Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 If these glade trails are top to bottom, they sold me I'll be buying my pass at Blue...... more infoooooooo They won't be. They'll either be between Lazy and Sidewiner, or near Dreamweaver. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 I'm sure the glades will not only be top to bottom but also off the backside with a ski-through tunnel with easy access to te front face. oh yea, i forgot about that option Quote
toast21602 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 This is very progressive for Blue. I'm impressed. Can't wait to see these glades, or where they'll be? regardless of where they are, it's really a step in the right direction. Quote
train36 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 I like that they are open to putting in some glades. I hope they open the ticket windows earlier. I had a pass last year so it wasn't a problem. I will not be getting one this year so I hope they open them at least a half hour before the lifts open. They use to wait till right before the lifts opened to start selling tickets, not sure if they corrected this last year or not. Quote
indiggio Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 Better hope for a lot of dumps this year to do any glade skiing.... Open ticket booths early? We're talking Blue here... Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 Glades seem to be gaining popularity, but it will be rare to actually ride them... I know it will never happen at blue, and I don't know how it has worked for them, but what's that mountain in the NE that blows snow even on its gladed terrain? Pats Peak? Quote
AtomicSkier Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 Well JF blows on their "glades" Quote
Justo8484 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 regardless of where they are, it's really a step in the right direction. it's probably the same trees we've been skiing for years if i had to guess. i'll try and take a look around when i'm up biking on sunday. they've also done some dirt work and took away the corner of trees at the top of lazy where that log ride was last year, where they always put up take between the trees, and put new guns in on lazy.

indiggio Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 Just the wind alone makes many of Blue mountains "glades" skiable a large percentage of the ski season.. Always got a kick out of that, riding up the lift with the guns a blazin' and wind howling, only to have all the snow they're making wind up in the woods. Like you say: JADIP! Quote
indiggio Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 Blue mountain has to be one of the windiest places in the world..they might even make some money off the wind in the form of electricity..hopefully enough for a gondola or tram for those cold days,.. I seem to recall they were looking at putting up a windmill at the top, left of the Comet lift? Quote
AtomicSkier Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 I seem to recall they were looking at putting up a windmill at the top, left of the Comet lift? Tree huggers are afraid of it damaging the AT as well as chopping birds up in the "hawk highway" that passes over Blue mtn. Quote
indiggio Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 Tree huggers are afraid of it damaging the AT as well as chopping birds up in the "hawk highway" that passes over Blue mtn. So they sh!t-canned it then, I take it?? 1 Quote
AtomicSkier Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 They were also going to build a racetrack type country club near the base. Darn hippie tree huggers ruin everything n Yes...I was very much looking forward to that. Quote
AngryHugo Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 You'd be the only one racing with your cruise control set at 65 mph Quote
AtomicSkier Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 You'd be the only one racing with your cruise control set at 65 mph GSS doesn't believe in cruise control. He treats the pedal as an on/off switch. It's annoying, to say the least. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted October 12, 2010 Report Posted October 12, 2010 I drive way faster on 145 on the way to Blue than on 476 on the way to Phillycoreville..you ever hit 80 in a Subie.. I've driven your subie over 95mph Quote
