eaf Posted December 22, 2017 Report Posted December 22, 2017 I'm surprised how little they have open still. And with this being a holiday week, the trails are going to be quite crowded.
saltyant Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Due to this major error, I'm considering getting a pass for Blue. But Blue can't get their opening times right on social media, so I guess it's Montage then. Edited December 22, 2017 by saltyant 1 1 1

Actually, now that you keep bringing the BM SP up, let me ask the all knowing community a few things, to make it easier for you to decide 1) When exactly does Blue start selling their most discounted passes for the next year? 2) Is this typically a flash sale, like you really have to be fast to get 40% off, because of time and supply restrictions? 3) Will SPs from the very first sale cover the rest of the current season or is this starting only in March or so?
JFskiDan Posted December 22, 2017 Report Posted December 22, 2017 Ride the lift up to the fucking top of the mountain. Take the fucking water slide down to Uncle Bills, then hop on the fucking mountain coaster, and be prepared to jump off at Sullivan Trail. This is the Circus that you signed up for. Oh, by the way, both the water slide and mountain coaster are double blacks, so you are good to go. Dont forget to turn on your go pro. 3 2 3

Usually late Feb is when they start selling passes discounted. Last year they said there were a limited number, but it went on for days if not weeks. Buying a pass then will grant you access to skiing the balance of 2018 and the 2018/2019 season. Buying a pass now will get you the balance of this season.

Blue has one of the largest snowmaking systems on the east coast.

That would've been a no-brainer for me. It's only $100 more for a pass good all the time. Weekend nights usually have craptastic conditions due to all the daytime traffic.
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 23, 2017 Report Posted December 23, 2017 Was $349 for a midweek pass and $449 for an all days pass early bird last year. That includes a season passholders party, 10% off food, and buddy pass
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 23, 2017 Report Posted December 23, 2017 Eaf you're at Blue a lot do you buy tickets every time
eaf Posted December 23, 2017 Report Posted December 23, 2017 2 minutes ago, GrilledSteezeSandwich said: Eaf you're at Blue a lot do you buy tickets every time Yeah, but I typically come at night to avoid crowds and pay only $25-30 per visit. In the past they had Sunday nights dirt cheap, $25/night. Right now it's $35 for some reason. If I come in the middle of a weekend it's because I have a few of those Pocono Ski Cards and it's close to spring. And since it's a CB thread, to stay on topic I'll say that CB is the worst at discounting tickets. Their nights are $40, and IIRC last spring while Blue was throwing all kinds of discounts, CB was demanding full price every weekend.
