GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 4, 2016 Report Posted January 4, 2016 I asked Blue on Facebook when they are gonna post an update on opening and they said soon. Quote
indiggio Posted January 4, 2016 Report Posted January 4, 2016 Rumor has it Thursday is opening day 2.0. Quote

moe ghoul Posted January 4, 2016 Report Posted January 4, 2016 I saw skiers and boarders on Main Street today on the cam. Must be extra special season pass holders. Rumor is they opened this afternoon. Just trolling! Quote
indiggio Posted January 4, 2016 Report Posted January 4, 2016 Didn't hear 10, so it may be back to 8:30. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 4, 2016 Report Posted January 4, 2016 10am opening was silly. Anyway whatever day they reopen I'll be there. Quote

Rumor has it the kayak captain can be bribed with good beer. Quote
phillycore Posted January 4, 2016 Report Posted January 4, 2016 Fuck....I was hoping for Wednesday. 1 Quote
JFskiDan Posted January 4, 2016 Report Posted January 4, 2016 Thursday is so close to Friday, and Friday is so close to the weekend, i might as well just take off both days. makes perfect sense to me. 6 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 5, 2016 Report Posted January 5, 2016 Ok time to blow on challenge and homestretch. Quote
toast21602 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Posted January 5, 2016 not sure what their blowing strategy is this year. seems different than the normal stuff they do. it actually looks like they are blowing on sidewinder and everything that runs off of main street but nothing that comes from the base other than sidewinder. they still have 24+ hours of snowmaking to blow at the bottom but i would have expected them to be well underway by now. just my thoughts.

indiggio Posted January 5, 2016 Report Posted January 5, 2016 Who knows? Perhaps they're just trying to get something, anything down to cover the ground to get more trails open faster instead of trying to build a huge base? They can deal with bare spots later. Quote

No that's exactly the opposite of what they are doing. They need to stop blowing on vista and lower Main Street and expand. 1 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 5, 2016 Report Posted January 5, 2016 Building base on what they can open seems like the best strategy to make it through a warm rainy high traffic weekend and stay open. Quote

poconoceancity Posted January 5, 2016 Report Posted January 5, 2016 I don't see any mountain closing for rain on a weekend this season. 1 Quote

No way they have programs and just a chance of rain and weekends 4-5 days out. The crowds, lift lines and parking are gonna be absurd this weekend if the rain holds off because Blue won't have valley open.

Now if they are not open Sunday due to rain, might blow a gasket and lose my mind You need to relax TP4. It's just skiing a recreational activity. Take a chill pill. Quote
indiggio Posted January 5, 2016 Report Posted January 5, 2016 Double's lift lines are going to be halfway back up Main Street. 1 Quote

Yup let's hope for rain to keep crowds away. On 1/5/2016 at 3:02 PM, theprogram4 said: I am relaxed. If I wasnt, I'd be pissed about tomorrow, but I am taking it with a glass half full approach You going to Shawnee or Jack Frost or elk tomorrow? 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 5, 2016 Report Posted January 5, 2016 On 1/5/2016 at 3:18 PM, theprogram4 said: 99.9% chance no. Elk I'm sure is charging full price. Frost is charging full price. Frost would be the best option being they have the best snow and $48 isn't too bad, but I still can't justify paying full price for a PA mountain. Shawnee is the only possibility if they have discounted tix, but I doubt they will, cause every mountain is probably deep in the hole already You should volunteer to work tomorrow and take off Thursday and ski blue for their reopening.
