It's easy to become a competent intermediate; It takes a shitload of work to get off that plateau and become a really good skier. I'm still stuck, and I work like hell. I'm at Blue right now giving my legs a break. Blame the conditions if you want, but look around at all the people styling that icy hardpack. I want to be like them. I look forward to skiing with you someday; we can commiserate! Expand It IS your destiny, Salty! 1 Quote

I guess I will so I can ski better trails and have people to ski with every now and then, but I keep reading negative reports on Blues queue management. But at this time I tenatively plan to give Blue a try at least for one season. Expand Constantly skiing Cameltoe's slopes over and over will not make you a better skier. It's like lifting the same weight and expecting to get bigger muscles. You need to up your terrain difficulty to improve or forever be an low-level intermediate. Get your ass in the bumps and take your skiing ability to the next level! Remember, it's not that you can't ski bumps. It's that you can't ski and the bumps just prove it. 2 Quote

Expand Do they have moguls on Dreamweaver or a blue run? I agree with everything you wrote. I realized that I get really bored after a while if I dont try new things. Trying new skis and skiing glades for the first time brought back some of the excitement I felt when I started skiing in the first place So yeah, I definitely would like to keep advancing because it is a lot more fun than just stagnating and doing the same things over and over.

Yeah, yeah, I'll probably get a Blue pass and see how I like it next season (and starting this Feb). I believe CB is $399 and Blue is $449, so it's only $50 more. Next year CB will be $599 for me.

Expand Actually we had a PASR day at Camelback because that's when they stayed open later than all the other ski areas and offered free Alien passes for season passholders from other areas. PASR was actually started because of the rideCB message board and yes it's taken some time but the majority of the PASRs have seen the light and the light is Blue.. Back in the Ray Tuthill days(pre 2008) Blue used to offer twice daily grooming, didn't close in inclement weather, had a 730am weekend opening and prided themselves for opening early and staying open late. Then for a few years Camelback would sometimes open earlier and stay open later and now Blue mountain the true mountain has taken back the honor of having the longest season in the Poke N Hoes. Quote
