indiggio Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 Odds weren't as astronomical as we thought! Quote
Johnny Law Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 Holy shit, never in a million, major props to blue. Quote
Kyle Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 Hmmm. I might make it a point to come next weekend then. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 Nice. Closing at 8 too. I may have to pop in for a sesh during the week. Quote

guitar73 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Where do you see that info about $25 tix? And any shot of them being open the 31st? WHy close in the middle of a weekend? yesterday, the lady at the ticket window mentioned to me that $25 lift tix were probably going into effect this week. Quote
Kyle Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Any chance on them staying open later? Just curious. Doesn't look likely as temps go into the 50s next week. Quote
toast21602 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Posted March 26, 2013 tryign to re-open the following weekend. 6th and 7th. i don't see that happening though, so get out there this week and saturday for some final turns. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Trying to get there tomorrow or Thursday after work. Quote
Apache Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Why is everyone acting like this is something great that Blue is doing. They should be open when the season started late (no fault of their own). I don't know of any other ski area in the Poconos that is closed! Blue caved to pressure on facebook page that started when they were originally going to close last Tuesday because of predicted bad weather (snow) and has now caved once again to postings of their original closing date of this past weekend. Trust me, Blue has one thing and one thing only on their mind right now and that is WATERPARK! Quote

Trust me, Blue has one thing and one thing only on their mind right now and that is WATERPARK! Of course they do, it costs 30million and is there brand new to do, what else would they have their mind on ? I don't disagree with you necessarily except that its a matter of expected performance. When you buy a pass you expect based on recent history to do Dec15ish to about the third weekend in March, so when they pulled that shit earlier is was not up to normal expected performance, worse they tried to float bs about it being weather related. That's a lie, that's a trust thing which is far bigger than simply closing early to save money for the water park. So when they caved to pressure that was beyond expected performance and thus people were very happy. Quote

Kyle Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 I saw that blue is honoring passes from other closed resorts for the remainder of their season. Via Facebook. Quote
toast21602 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Posted March 26, 2013 Shawnee is staying open until the 7th. 2 Quote
Kyle Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 SMH shaking my head. I guess Blue is trying to capitalize off Bear Creekers.. Or it's good business? Bear creekers will ride blue for free and maybe buy a pass there next year. Stop being so negative about blue giving discounts/free passes. If anything it will help them. Quote
Johnny Law Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Was good this morning, last day for me at Blue unless they do something crazy. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Should be there tomorrow after work. Probably at boulder tonight. Quote
toast21602 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Posted March 27, 2013 i'll be there tomorrow morning. then trying to either mountain bike or hit the links. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 i'll be there tomorrow morning. then trying to either mountain bike or hit the links. How is it? I'll be there around 6 to close tonight. Quote
