From the racing FB:
Most of you will not know who Jake is. He is a behind the scenes guy. He is one of the Blue Mountain snowmaking crew members that makes that white slippery stuff we get to ski on each season. With out him there would be no snow. His tireless hours have provided us with snow.

Last night he lost everything in a house fire. We know these are trying times for everyone but any amount helps. He lost EVERY single thing. If you can donate please do. He is a good kid! (All of about 23)
Thank you! Happy Easter! Stay safe!

4 hr lift tix with pricing of $28, $22 and $18 depending on time sounds awesome and will lilely get me to Blue some even with an Epic pass. I rarely ski Blue more than 4 hrs at a stretch.

A bit surprising that weekday and weekend pricing seems to be the same.

where u see that pricing?  my guess is, since there probably is a limit to how many tickets sold each day, i sort of think "discount" tickets are a thing of the pass.  Honestly, they could probably jack up rates pretty good, and still sell out.  Just my worthless 2 cents on the subject.

What is a Root Friday? Isn't it called Black Friday?

So if someone buys a ticket today and there's no snow/cold weather, they lose their money and don't get to ski?

I used Liftopia and this appears to be the same type of deal, except this is way, way too far out to be gambling on the weather.

Boom maybe even earlier like last season if Mother Nature cooperates.  Pretty soon Blue is gonna blow the bats out of the snowmaking cannons.
