enjoralas Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Posted March 7, 2016 Yes that's what they need. Definitely not enough uphill capacity at Blue. They could replace the Vista lift with a high speed quad. Man, would lapping Widowmaker be the shit then! Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 They could replace the Vista lift with a high speed quad. Man, would lapping Widowmaker be the shit then! The Main Street and Burma lifts could be replaced with a high speed quad or maybe they could put a season passholders lounge in the lower lodge. Quote
enjoralas Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Posted March 30, 2016 Just an FYI, this deal is back again on Friday morning. Link below should be correct: http://www.sweetdealscumulus.com/deal/allentown/blue-mountain-resort-012016-3 2 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 Nice. Too bad it is timed for right when passes go up. Quote
enjoralas Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Nice. Too bad it is timed for right when passes go up. I'm just glad they brought it back again so soon. If they keep this pace up I'll be able to accumulate enough to get a half price pass for season after next! EDIT: This isn't really normal pacing, is what I mean. Usually it's 2-3 months between, this is less than a month. Edited March 30, 2016 by enjoralas Quote
NMSKI Posted March 30, 2016 Report Posted March 30, 2016 For the record, these can be used in bulk and there's no limit, correct? How about expiration? Quote
NMSKI Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Never mind. Just saw "no more than one per visit" and expires in 6 months. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Never mind. Just saw "no more than one per visit" and expires in 6 months. Good thing I didn't buy up $300 of them Friday. 1 Quote
enjoralas Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Posted March 31, 2016 The one per visit is standard boilerplate sweet deals language. Don't be put off by it. Even if they held to it, it only applies to the voucher redemption, once the voucher is exchanged for a gift card it's a standard plastic gift card that they allow more than one of per transaction. They would have no way of knowing the gift card was from this deal. Same with the expiration. That applies to redeeming the vouchers for the gift cards. You have 6 months to do that, once they are gift cards there is no expiration. I personally redeemed 6 of these vouchers all at the same time for 3 $100 gift cards, although I am prepared to have to make multiple visits to exchange them if someone wanted to enforce the "1 per" language. I then used those 3 $100 gift cards the next weekend in one transaction for my season pass. I understand if people are skeptical, no worries. But for those with a little faith, you can save some major coin. And if not, less competition to snag them. 2 Quote

enjoralas Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Posted March 31, 2016 So your season pass ended up costing you $369?? Yep. Plus about $10 or so, the Sweet Deals website charges like $2 processing for each one. Quote
phillycore Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 I pretty much have to renew mine tomorrow to make it worth it as I'm surely not making a shit ton of 1:45 trips back and forth to redeem gift card vouchers. Outside of that it seems like it would be a kickass way to save on a pass. Quote
enjoralas Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Posted April 1, 2016 Hope some others scored! Picked up 4 again, 2/3 of the way to 17/18 pass! Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 Hope some others scored! Picked up 4 again, 2/3 of the way to 17/18 pass! Congrats!!! Looks like you've seen the light and the light is Blue!!! Quote
enjoralas Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Posted April 1, 2016 Congrats!!! Looks like you've seen the light and the light is Blue!!! I'll still ski some other places, probably on that Pocono card, but Blue IS only 20 minutes from my house, so for less than $300 for a pass it's the biggest no-brained ever. Quote

phillycore Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 Yesterday was the deadline for renewing season pass at the cheapest rate....I decided at the last minute that wasn't something that I was going to do. I made the decision to go back to instructing although next season I'm going to be at bear creek instead. Hopefully I'll still get to ski with you guys at some point next season....if for nothing else, the end of season lot party. Kinda sucks in a way but thought it was the best option for next year.

phillycore Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 April fools fucker!! In complete honesty...I tried to renew my pass yesterday around 5pm, and my login information wouldn't come up. The system said that my email didn't exist. That's when I started thinking about alternatives... Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 April fools right!!! Call up blue and let them know your issues I'm sure they would honor the early bird price. Quote
phillycore Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 My alternative was to just create a new account and buy it as a new one.... Hell yeah I'll be back at Blue with you fools 2 Quote
NMSKI Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 I was doing some thinking now that my season is over. I've decided to dedicate myself to the technical aspect of the sport. I'll be pursuing my PSIA certification this winter. If I can improve my wedge Christie, I should be able to go right to level 3. 4 Quote
