RidgeRacer Posted March 22, 2023 Report Posted March 22, 2023 Idk how anyone can say they're going into April. There's a lot of time, warmth, rain etc between now and then. Seems ballsy... especially this season. Appreciate Blue is being realistic. 1 Quote

I did notice it seemed to rain every Thursday. Quote

You were discussing what it would cost you to ski elsewhere in PA after Blue kills its season ahead of the PA hills that actually try to give their pass holders their $ worth. Quote

I’m not poor like you..I don’t care if something is $40 or $80 or $1,000 I’m still laughing that you’re a lawyer and buying your kids used skis, not just used skis but used rental skis and also that you’re gonna make your kids share a car. I was even telling my friend about you last night about how you used to make your kids share a hot cocoa but the one kid wised up and decided she likes tea better lol…I have to poop..don’t try and steal my turd.

theprogram4 Posted March 23, 2023 Report Posted March 23, 2023 Used skis is one thing, as most people’s definition of used is like 10 trips. Used rental skis is completely absurd, and potentially dangerous 1 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 23, 2023 Report Posted March 23, 2023 Anybody check the webcams today? Plenty of snow from the hole they dug for pond skimming. Maybe there’ll be a big dog booter. Quote

Johnny Law Posted March 24, 2023 Report Posted March 24, 2023 Rode with Mixil this morning and it was super nice spring slush. Some bigger brown spots too make it alot more interesting but nothing crazy. Coming Soon, Razors have generally very good coverage and I think the only new closure is the bottom of widowmaker. Absolutely nobody home and no rain made for a longer session. I feel like I gotta ride tomorrow but I also hate riding when it's pouring hopefully it's just a light mist. 6 1 Quote

It’s gonna be beautiful and mad technical and gnarly…tomorrow I have alarms set but if the radar is ominous I’ll probably go back to bed. Who knows the weather isn’t always 100% so my plans for tomorrow are like old people diapers…Depends.. 2 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 31, 2023 Report Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) The East Coast's Best Snowmaking System is Getting Even Better! This just in: Blue Mountain is making a multi-million dollar investment in snowmaking upgrades for the 2023/24 Ski Season! These upgrades will bring YOU more snow sooner, even against Mother Nature! Our opening capacity will increase by another 30%, bringing 3x more trails online for opening weekend than were ever able to open. Your favorite trails like Razor's Edge, Falls, and Lazy Mile will open much earlier too! Edited March 31, 2023 by RidgeRacer 3 1 2 Quote

My guess was a joint season pass with camelback and we can’t hate on camelback anymore cause it’s our sister mountain. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 31, 2023 Report Posted March 31, 2023 The lights are out..game over… Blue is gone till November unless you want to hit up Oktoberfest which they have in September. I’m thinking they might build a rail garden or a bonk yard on vista with all that snow piled up from pond skimming. Maybe they can truck it to ski resorts that don’t suck like Montage and Camelback 1 Quote
Kyle Posted March 31, 2023 Report Posted March 31, 2023 Does this mean blue won’t be a mountain that “sucks” next year? Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 31, 2023 Report Posted March 31, 2023 I don’t understand how a 30% increase in snowmaking capacity means a three times increase in trails for opening day. Quote

They are using the JFBB calculator. 30% X 3 trails X 3 times more trails X 8.34 divided by the Average # of layovers for a Frontier flight over the average lay over time. Its really simple math when you think about it. 1 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 31, 2023 Report Posted March 31, 2023 How can anyone complain about a season pass price increase when your mountain announces that they are expanding snowmaking capacity by 30%? That’s pretty awesome. Now they just need to get rid of the orange lights and we’re set. 4 Quote
