Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Posted December 18, 2015 Wrong. Demographics don't impact ranking. Length of season counts. CB was open later in Spring and is opening earlier in Winter. I am not a pass holder so I have no dog in this race. I ski the best place on any given day. Quote
weedreimer Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Time to stock up on popcorn for this weekend to watch the show of endless questions across social media, snowmaking efforts, and what actually comes out of this announcement. 3 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Putters around may be a bit harsh. Blue has been trying with every chance they could and spent a shit ton of cash trying to do so in the process only to see it melt away. Not much else they could've done unless they focused on one trail only instead of trying to spread it around (ie. tubing) I was thinking the same thing. I hope this doesn't turn into a blue bashing. Time to stock up on popcorn for this weekend to watch the show of endless questions across social media, snowmaking efforts, and what actually comes out of this announcement. I like popcorn!!! 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 The fact that they are trying to open before X-mas (unlike my home mtn) just earns them more points. I don't wanna say cb is better than blue cause it isn't, but this announcement can definetly put blue's #1 ranking in jeopardy. I wanna see blue stay #1, but camelback is coming for the crown and blue doesn't want to fight back. It's like the drake vs meek mill beef. I wanted to see meek win, but there is no denying he got mopped the fuck up. Same with blue vs camelback, I wanna see blue win but camelback just throw a haymaker and blue ain't have shit to say, like papa doc in 8 mile Post of the day!!! Crazy that blue might be only three days away from losing their #1 ranking...my Herman is shake shake shaking. 1 Quote
toast21602 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 It might be time to point out on blue's facebook that their rival is making moves I think you should. Quote
Schif Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 All this speculation is really rustling my jimmies. 5 Quote
toast21602 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Can't wait to ride the zip line while camelback makes snow 3 Quote
NMSKI Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 My mom got me pretty gassed up last night by pointing out that it's about time for blue to start offering some discounts for those of us who purchased season passes. They had no problem cashing my $700 check, but seem to be stuck with their heads up their asses while camelback makes moves. Idk why she cares since it isn't her money, but I appreciate her support and she makes a valid point. I'm economically disadvantaged so that $700 could be going for lift tickets to mountains that actually are open (with snow, not a zip line) I'm gassed up too (in both ways). My pass probably won't even pay for itself this year since 2 of my ski weekends at Blue will be lost while I'm in New Mexico, and another spent in Vermont. It's hard for me to rack up days during the week, so I'll be out $ this year I bet. 3 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 I just posted on blues FB wall Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Your season pass purchase is a sunk cost...the money is gone...but remember boys and girls that blue will be offering s free hot dog and slice of bday cake at the season pass holder appreciation party in mid March in the sun room at 430pm on a Sunday!!! Same here, as well as a comment on a post Thanks TP4 I'm gassed up too (in both ways). My pass probably won't even pay for itself this year since 2 of my ski weekends at Blue will be lost while I'm in New Mexico, and another spent in Vermont. It's hard for me to rack up days during the week, so I'll be out $ this year I bet. I'm feeling farty 1 Quote

Yikes! At least montage gives us a full hot buffet, live music, door prizes and a drink at the bar for the passholder party. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 damn I can't see it since I have you blocked. My loss. Wow a darn shame. You know every Wednesday I ask for karaoke suggestions it's a real hit yuk yuk yuk. Yikes! At least montage gives us a full hot buffet, live music, door prizes and a drink at the bar for the passholder party. I don't mind what blue offers its just done purposely at a time when 95% of the season pass holders aren't at Blue to cut down on their hot dog and cake expenses. Maybe make it at noon or something.

poconoceancity Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 The ski industry doesn't care about us common folk! Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 I think blue forgets that not all their customers are coming from our Rittenhouse square single family homes and Manhattan penthouses in bmw's, Audi', Mercedes, and rolls royces. I show up in a leased American made car that I can only afford cause I'm an employee of the dealership. That $700 is almost half a year of car payments for me. TP4 are you really that poor or just cheap??? The ski industry doesn't care about us common folk! Ain't nothing common about you. I'm prob the only person that posts on here who is completely normal.

larrytbull Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 so time to start a roll count on sunday as to who is going for first chair on monday Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 so time to start a roll count on sunday as to who is going for first chair on monday I have work earliest I can be at camelback is Saturday 12/26... Quote
Schif Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 If they can be open and there is enough snow to warrant a trip I would probably pop in on monday for a few hours. Then finish Christmas shopping at the Crossings across the street Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 I can't even afford a one bedroom apartment in the only part of the county that has poverty and crime smh Wow didn't know selling cars was so rough. You could prob get a job at the Amazon warehouse or something and do better. Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Probably hit it the 25th unless I find something better for that day. Love the lack of crowds skiing xmas. May do Belleayre this Sunday. See what they will have ooen. Edited December 18, 2015 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote
toast21602 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 A damn shame I can't make it Til wednesday Same. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 I think I'll go Monday morning if they open Quote
AtomicSkier Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Didn't they open a few years ago relatively early, but only a jib setup on tubing hill? Quote
