mollyskeeze Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 facebook says all tickets will be $40 except night tickets are $34... STEEP Quote
mollyskeeze Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 $40 not cheap when you dont have any money. Quote
Mixilplix Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Blue is a high end ski area Hahaha........Historically open day conditions are full of cookies and kooks.....I'm stoked to ride/ski as much as anybody but at $40 is killer Quote
toast21602 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 $40 is not bad at all. Doug is right ( i hate to say it). Supply and demand. people will buy tickets if they want to ski, or spend more money driving to somewhere else to pay a cheaper ticket price. Quote
Gnarbuckets Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Cha fuckin ching ill be there! pretty excited too have gotten a season pass to bear for the last 6 years but decided to switch so looking forward to a good season at blue! 1 Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 $40 is not bad at all. Doug is right ( i hate to say it). Supply and demand. people will buy tickets if they want to ski, or spend more money driving to somewhere else to pay a cheaper ticket price. I would pay it if I hadn't skied yet this season, but I would be much more likely to drive to Elk and pay even more. Their early season offering will be better than Blue... I'm just happy to see you guys get some places open... Let's hope they can really kick the guns into gear for X-Mas... Quote
mollyskeeze Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Molly get a job...rob a bank...sell your organs..there are ways to come up with quick cash. Oh I also think you get money giving blood. no Edited December 14, 2011 by MollyProsser Quote
RootDKJ Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Bellayre got away with $47 opening weekend tickets, advertised T2B, but only opened up about 600ft of vert and people still paid it. Blue will do well with $40. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Posted December 14, 2011 They should charge $100 to keep the fckin crowds down. Quote
Justo8484 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 i paid 29 at killington last weekend for considerably more terrain. blue's prices are steep, in my opinion, but they've got arguably better terrain than any other local ski area, so they'll get people to pay it. i'm just hoping they can get some more terrain open by christmas week, otherwise the place is gonna be a zoo.

indiggio Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 The way this f'ing weather is going, they'll have to keep upping the price just to get close to breaking even... Quote
AtomicSkier Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Posted December 14, 2011 I can see about 2 or 3 runs on Friday AM, and then bouncing. Saturday is going to be an absolute shit show. I may leave before NSJay! Quote
peski28 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 ^2 to 3 runs, wtf is that? youre barely warmed up at that point. And I think ppl should just be quiet and bask in the fact that life's gonna suck a little less cause we can all go skiing soon close to home! Quote
Justo8484 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Justo was Killington charging $29 or did you have a coupon? It looks like marginal snowmaking temperatures next week at least at night so maybe they can get the 6 pack open for Xmas week...Lazy mile will really be crazy mile. coupons. couldn't tell you the last time i paid full price to ski. regardless of where you're skiing, there's always a way to save a little bit of cash. ^2 to 3 runs, wtf is that? youre barely warmed up at that point. And I think ppl should just be quiet and bask in the fact that life's gonna suck a little less cause we can all go skiing soon close to home! hooray for not driving 6 hours! i'm ready for some park laps.

On Saturday there is a 100% chance the race team will be out hogging the trail by 8:30am. 1 Quote

peski28 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 fair enough btw, and yea justo. need my rail game back for the season asap. 1 Quote
vinnyv11 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 Shocked that no weekend thread has been started yet. I was originally planning a trip up to Killington Sunday - Tuesday but based on conditions I might just hit Blue Sunday. Quote
toast21602 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 looks like i'll be there saturday as well, and open up Blue for their first 3 days. joy. 1 Quote
Kyle Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 well i might be in for blue on saturday since bear isnt opening and boulder/jf is just a little far for just a day trip since ill be flying solo. Quote
phillycore Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 well i might be in for blue on saturday since bear isnt opening and boulder/jf is just a little far for just a day trip since ill be flying solo. Seriously? Don't you live in the West Chester area.. JFBB isn't too far for a day trip, hell I'm a tad further than you and I'm there every weekend sometimes both days and travel back and forth to Delco. In all actuality time-wise JF is maybe 10 minutes longer drive tops because it's all turnpike instead of stop an go and backroad shit. That being said, If I didn't have a pass....or work at a mountain....I'd go to wherever had the most terrain open for the least coin on opening weekend myself. Quote

Shouldn't you be shooting for terrain/coin? Quote
