GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 Dont ski at Blue at peak times. For that matter, dont ski anywhere at peak times. QFT!!! Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) I don't ski Blue at peak times. I was there 5 times this year and never waited in an over 5 minute lift line. But I do ski a lot of other places at peak times, and never waited in an over 5 minute lift line at any of them either. Edited March 28, 2017 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 Blue has enough lift capacity that there are rarely long lift lines. It's more likely that the runs will be crowded. I'll give you a tip when it's crowded ski Switchback.. Quote

I'll give you a tip when it's crowded ski Switchback.. At peak times it is less a long lift line and more a pushing and shoving mob trying to get to the point they can form a lift line. Or at least it was the last time I was there at a peak time. You would have to pay me to deal with that crap again. Quote

Just pretend you have a friend near the front of the line. 1 Quote

momskeeztoo Posted March 28, 2017 Report Posted March 28, 2017 lol at the thought of getting elementary aged children to a mountain at 730am for first chair coming from NJWhen my kids were young, they would drag me out of bed to go skiing 3 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Posted March 28, 2017 Yeah I could get up crazy early to ski Blue on a peak day. Or I could get up at a reasonable time and enjoy skiing almost anywhere else. Winner for a peak day: almost anywhere else. Quote

tnt Posted March 29, 2017 Report Posted March 29, 2017 The runs at camelback are just shorter than at blue and flatten out sooner. Agreed. Also, those trails on the front - Hump, Asp, forget the others... - are pretty much identical. The...Stevens lift? With the challenge and nile mile, that pod is Ok. The rest of the mountain gets kind of blah. Blue has better terrain Imo... CB also has a no outside food policy, but they do not tackle you at the door for bringing coffee in. Kind of a wash on that front. So nod goes to Blue! Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 29, 2017 Report Posted March 29, 2017 Blue has let up on the no outside food policy since presidents weekend. No runs like razors, nightmare to Dreamweaver or Switchback at camelback. If I never ski Camelback again I'm fine with that. 1 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Posted March 29, 2017 Pfft. Total price paid for 7 Blue lift tix this year = $76. Just used them at off peak times when I could spend more time skiing than standing in line. Agreed. Also, those trails on the front - Hump, Asp, forget the others... - are pretty much identical.

Cliffhanger, Pharaoh and Nile Mile off Stevenson lift. Quote
JFskiDan Posted March 29, 2017 Report Posted March 29, 2017 Pfft. Total price paid for 7 Blue lift tix this year = $76. Excellent couponing ! 2 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Posted March 29, 2017 Sorry, miscalculated. $64 for 7 Blue tix. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 29, 2017 Report Posted March 29, 2017 Way to get after it!!!! You are well on your way to being a millionaire. Does that include the amortized cost of the PASkiandRide passport and ski club membership?? 1 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Yes, I included that. The amount I actually gave to Blue was only $28 (plus one cocoa) $ saved compared to paying window prices for lift tix this season alone paid for this sweet gem that is getting delivered to me tomorrow. I spend $ when it counts. https://m.facebook.com/DAngelicoNY/photos/a.227676510695155.52820.227668624029277/1156272954502168/?type=3&source=48 Edited March 29, 2017 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Premier. Nobody seems to have any deluxe ones other than the $7k hand autographed variety. And something like that would be a lot less fun as it would more stay in its case as an investment than be something to use on gigs. There is a 45 day return policy on Premier, so if I found an unsigned Deluxe in that time I might consider upgrading. Edited March 29, 2017 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote
Rex Goliath Posted March 29, 2017 Report Posted March 29, 2017 Snow Report Wednesday, March 29th, Camelback Mountain will be open for skiing and riding from 9:00AM - 7:00PM on 33 Trails with 5 lifts turning throughout the day. The USA's Biggest Snowtubing Park will be open from 12:00PM - 7:00PM with up to 20 lightning fast tubing lanes Quote
