They could easily open tomorrow or Wednesday but the juice isn’t worth the squeeze..build up that base expand the terrain. The guy who runs snowmaking and mountain operations doesn’t mess around…high five to the snowmakers out in the cold 

Will have to open before JF opens at 9am tomorrow to get First In PA

The friend intro package doesn't mention a lift ticket, so I'm going to assume to use it you'll also have to burn one of your buddy passes. 

that package says a 'beginner lift ticket' (vista, triple, carpets) is included. so i'm thinking it comes with it already.

which reading that pisses me off because i wish they'd actually sell beginner lift tickets.

the two buddy pass thing is a new thing as of maybe a month ago. it was always 1 before.

Jf is three turns at medium speed and back on the lift for 2332 minutes. Lift speed to vert rise should be a stat................

Blow the ever loving fuck out of blue, the cold is around but less favorable next week and last year they had like 10 days. I haven't had my fix yet so maximize blowing this week and get shit open and deep.

I'm still working on believing what I'm seeing, Blue opening with more than Vista and lower main is le tits

I saw a picture and it looked like a yes, might have been on here. I'll try to find it. I'm guessing it's Tuts all the way across to Strawberry Short cut with Lazy to LL. Hopefully they throw Falls in there too.

@JFskiDancouldn't find the picture I was thinking of but did grab this off their video. They already have the new layout picked for east side?!

In true blue mountain style, i think its only fair to pay ohmage to i think Okemo, which has so many intersecting trails, this would just add the same amount of thrill to that side as what is existing.  Need to make sure people can get from all the way left, to the lodge in the valley without getting on a lift.  That would be about 9 trails crossed.  Epic.  I think this makes way more sense.  

i will give skiitoolives all of my buddy passes the year we get to ski over there.

So much more room for activities

I wonder what kind of stupid trail names they will come up with...

Just think how many upper and lower trails they can make with my improvement on their map.  That has to give them 25 trails to name.  Upper what the fuck, and lower what the fuck.....and the list goes on.  

 

Honestly though, it just looks kinda like they took the trail map of Jack Frost and put it over there.  Lots of trails that pretty much go straight down.

Park features getting dropped off in Baaarbs Whhheeyyyy

I would call the area in yellow, "Right Angle Ridge".

I'd love to be wrong, but doesn't look like Lazy is on the menu. You can usually see snow up in the trees if they have been blowing on the last mile part

I think their focus is on getting a solid base on Paradise, Barbs Bush and easy out vista to Burma.  Lazy is a fairly fast run for them to open, people on Blues FB were complaining about Main Street.

 Maybe between tonight and Friday morning they switch to putting down a rideable base on Lazy and Main…….  Everything else gotta be pretty solid by now.

 

 

They pushed a snowmobile track up lower main today I see.

They definitely should sell beginner lift tickets. I think people might stick with skiing, if the first couple of times aren’t completely intimidating. I also don’t want to get hit by an out of control skier/ rider.

Main is probably a good choice for keeping the snow from blowing into Jersey.

My daughter is in from AZ Christmas week and she’s getting skis for Christmas so looks like my 2 buddy passes are gonna be used that week. There are no blackout dates on the buddy passes right?

I agree and mentioned it.  When I was in middle school the beginner package with the school with first time lesson vista and school hill ticket and rental was like $20 and lift and rental was $19 for all area ticket and just lift ticket was $14. There were also coupons galore for like $25/35 first time in skis packages.  The barrier to entry to ski a lot is high but to just learn at a local spot maybe should be a little less cause you hook them and then they buy a bunch of stuff

I agree with Doug, i don't think there's a restriction -- but you have to order the pass online. If they're sold out for the day, i think you're out of luck.
