I saw that email. Also had no idea they had 47 snow tubing lanes. That sounds like a lot and this is officially the year I go over and try it out one time. 

They should send Vail a Christmas card thanking them for not opening tubing and JFBB.

i'm guessing blue is first?

i dont think so, but really its all kind of relative, i think Bear, and Roundtop are 100%.  Not sure what Shawnee is but Blue does have a significant more amount of acreage to cover.

I think they used to claim around 30 but once they got rid of family tubes the were able to get up to 47 with all singles.

If it's the Long Haul lift at Montage, it's a non-event because that lift is pointless anyway. It's about a 13 minute ride which is insane!

I’ve heard that Vail is going to replace most of the lifts at Frost and Boulder. I wonder if they will sell lifts from their other properties to Frost and Boulder and put new lifts in their first tier properties. They could play a lot of games with profitability, debt and tax strategies. They can’t play as many games with monthly expenses like labor and utilities, which is where they seem to be penny pinching.

Great repotting….eye roll. Maybe it needs a new flux capacitor.

one can only assume that the "new" lifts at JFBB will be "new to JFBB lifts", and not actually new.  Vail probably has a fairly large stockpile of used equipment laying around.  Plus, moving things around from the top tier resorts to the lower resorts only makes sense.

Maybe Blue can give them a good deal on the quad and then replace that POS. Or maybe when the Summit Safari 8pack goes in from the base to the top of the doubles they can sell the out doubles to them. Short transport distance should make it easy. Just fly the whole thing over when you pluck it off the mountain.

Thanks for posting in the Blue forum.  Gonna be extra crowded today and even more potholes. I noted where they are for the drive back.
