AtomicSkier Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 Thanks to me (yes, me!) NASTAR will be held at Blue Mountain starting this season on Thursday Nights and Sunday afternoons! Yes, you heard it. I'm waiting to hear about what trail..... Quote

AtomicSkier Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Posted June 22, 2005 Awesome, Jeff. Thursday nights are especially cool. 27854[/snapback] yup, I didn't want to mention anything when i proposed the idea at the end of last ski season, but she said "email me back in june and i'll give you an update". I did and i guess the GM liked what he saw, so bingo! Quote
Glenn Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 ... humble too. Should be intersting to see where they put it. I guess another weeknight Nastar is a big deal as well. Looks like the nastar crew will do BC wed and Blue thur. Quote
Ski Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Blue has a good no-bullsh*t race department that will insist on sending pacesetters to trials at Hunter, so HC's will be accurate. That's an added plus. Quote

skimom Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Kewl. I bet it's on that short trail near the slow double. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Posted June 23, 2005 Kewl. I bet it's on that short trail near the slow double. 27861[/snapback] Yup, that's what I figured (Raceway). Quote
Ski Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 I trust that you'll be joining me at Blue on Thursday nights? 27860[/snapback] Yeah, for sure, when I'm not working. I'm already down to a four day work week during the winter. It would be good to have some gates before the weekend ASRA's. Blue is far for me, but empty Thursday slopes would be worth it. Hey, save me a search: do they have night-only passes or CB-like "treasure" packs? Quote

skifreak Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Ahem, didn't I once e-mail NASTAR about Blue ever thinking about holding NASTAR and them telling me to tell Blue what I thought about it? I even filled out one of those comment cards and told them to add it. Heres a link to it...http://www.paskiandride.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1019 Anyway it doesn't matter, I'm just glad they got it! I don't think they will do it on Raceway because what about people who are less expirenced and cannot handle that steep of a trail. I'm thinking they would do it on Lazy Mile or something else. Bringing back up the link above do you think they will do it on that trail that they are cutting out over by Razors Edge? Quote
skifreak Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 LOL, that Blue Blizzard Card the other year I was putting in a comment card and told them they should offer a discount card like camelback and bc does. Sure enough they did for last season. They must read that comment box or had enough people tell them to get it. Quote

But twas I that got the ball rolling. Anyway, they won't do it on Lazy Mile, as they already have the shacks/timing equipment on raceway, which isn't any steeper, well maybe a hair, then polar bear @ BC. ... 27873[/snapback] that must be brand new, never saw that before...

AtomicSkier Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Posted June 23, 2005 BTW, $29 isn't bad. 5 weeknights and you've made up the cost of it... Quote
skifreak Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 (edited) Yeah I guess raceway really isn't that steep to hold a NASTAR race on, and it levels out to become a nice gentle slope at the bottom. Since they will do races on Thursday and Sunday I don't think it will interfear with the race team because don't they get that for so many hours on the weekend to train or is that Razors Edge?

skimom Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 It's still a lot more than BC with "Club night". No chance Blue has a club night??? Quote
skimom Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Also, what hours? Thurs is a tough night to get there... Quote
AtomicSkier Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Posted June 23, 2005 It's still a lot more than BC with "Club night". No chance Blue has a club night??? 27879[/snapback] Blue has a pretty cheap Sunday night rate, $18, that's pretty cheap skiing. Bear's just happens to be on Wednesday, which makes it convient. how much is a tuesday night at bear? with that Blue card, you're looking at $30 for the night ($20 tix + $10 unlimited NASTAR). That's $10 more then a Wednesday night at blue, and plus theres actaully a mountain to ski on then too. And plus, an added bonus, you get to ski with me. What else could you ask for? Quote
skifreak Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 (edited) What else could you ask for? 27881[/snapback] or maybe a I don't know, skimom with that Blizzard card its a great deal to me if you don't have a season pass. Personally I would do NASTAR at blue because like Jeff said, you actually have a mountain to ski on. Now I don't know if you are a person that is worried about how much its going to cost you in gas and time its going to take you because you come from Philly but I would rather go to blue its only what another 25 or so mins if that from bc?

Ski Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 plus theres actaully a mountain to ski on then too. 27881[/snapback] Quote
poconoceancity Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 The added drive is well worth it...and the $29 is a bonus...CB's Camelcard is $75 if bought in Nov. and $100 after that. Looks like I'll be taking my secret short cut down the mountain from the lake harmony area quite often this upcoming season. Quote
Papasteeze Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 (edited) Fantastic Job Atomic and Skifreak! I wish Blue had a Northridge - what is the reasonable travel time between the 2 mountains. With a rising frestyle program, a good race program, and when you consider I don't have a whole lot of confidence with the new mgmt at CB - it just might be worth the while to commmute.. If BC does it again - there is a weeknight season pass for $99 we were at BC last year 9 times. Is there a weekday or night season pass available at Blue that might make economic sense? Edited June 23, 2005 by Papasteeze Quote
Justo8484 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 i know blue has a weekday pass, i dont know the price off the top of my head, but check out thier site for details on that. and about that northridge thing or whatever, i dont know whats going on with it now, but supposedly ray was building condos kind of along the access road to the top lodgem but i dont know what has happened to that since he wants to sell now.
