Mixilplix Posted November 18, 2022 Report Posted November 18, 2022 That's a pretty aggressive snow making schedule for early season...When I drove home there was snow put down in a lot of places...Opening day in the Valley! 1 1 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 19, 2022 Report Posted November 19, 2022 Looking like they might be able to run the runs pretty much nonstop until Noon on Monday. Maybe a few hour break this afternoon. Quote

Imagine skiing in a bump line on Freefall opening day and also rad that we won’t have to park at the top. Expand Same. Opening day on Stalin's stunt ditch would be pretty incredible Quote
theprogram4 Posted November 19, 2022 Report Posted November 19, 2022 Hell yea blue! I go a day without checking PASR regularly and miss this lol. Stoked my season starts in 8 days! Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 19, 2022 Report Posted November 19, 2022 The guns are still on..very impressive..I still think they might have to shut the guns off for a bit but tonight into tomorrow is gonna be $$$$$. The amount of guns going is phenomenal…they must have a lot of water in their snowmaking ponds. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 19, 2022 Report Posted November 19, 2022 I don’t know if it was brought up here yet but this season Blue is only offering 8 hour tickets and night tickets. People were complaining about that on their Facebook. Before they offered four hour tickets. Quote
Mixilplix Posted November 19, 2022 Report Posted November 19, 2022 Looks like they are going all in for this season.... Quote

enjoralas Posted November 19, 2022 Report Posted November 19, 2022 FYI, in case anyone (else) was looking to drop ‘em off for a very last minute tune, Blue is currently 2 weeks out. Dropped off a set that needs a bit of repair but elected to keep the main skis when I saw they were giving a return date of 12/3, I’ll get them waxed later 1 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted November 20, 2022 Report Posted November 20, 2022 Speaking of zee lights...I drove past last night and noticed that they added the new white lighting that they put on coming soon last year all the way down lower paradise into home stretch. There's still plenty of shitty orange lighting however it appears the days of orange lights may be coming to an end. Not gonna lie the whole mountain covered in the new white lighting probably gets me more excited than the new lift. 3 Quote
tnt Posted November 20, 2022 Report Posted November 20, 2022 what's the guess on opening day? Black friday? Quote
