My plan is to wait until April and see if he'll give me a lower price. But if I find a deal online I'll consider it. Expand Go wider than 81. You won't regret it. 2 Quote
eaf Posted December 10, 2017 Report Posted December 10, 2017 Yep. Then you're gonna be both a skier AND a boarder. Imagine all the envious looks and girls' attention this will bring on Quote

saltyant Posted December 10, 2017 Author Report Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) Camelback looks pretty empty today, but they moved the webcam so you can't see the lift line. I guess everyone is getting tired of one green run and went to Blue! Can't wait to hear what Ski2Live decided to do. Edited December 10, 2017 by saltyant Quote

Expand saltyant, it shouldn't be a big surprise for you by now. You would 100% win with BM if you skied weekdays, early mornings, nights or off-peak times. For weekend skiing you chose right where to get your season pass, for you'll always find some empty lifts on CB, like you'll always be in the crowds on Blue. 1 Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 10, 2017 Report Posted December 10, 2017 Was en route to Blue when I read the horrendous lift line reports and continued down 22 to 33 north. No lines at all at CB. Very nice conditions. Snowing lightly Taking a break with my daughter after 8 runs. Making snow on all but the open trail and they say they expect to have most if not all of the mountain open by sat. 1 Quote

CB looks pretty empty, and should be a lot of fun for your daughter. Blue was a madhouse and all 3 liftlines were nuts. Edited December 10, 2017 by saltyant Quote
