Yikes! But yeah, weeknights are usually good, especially Monday. The school groups are annoying--you get a lot of out-of-control meat rockets and too much nonsense at the chairs (clogging up the line waiting for friends, letting near-empty chairs go when there's a line because they only want to ride with people they know, etc.). But it's worth the price, for sure. Expand You mean last Sunday? Two Sundays ago Blue was closed for rain. I refer to the school group kids as aggro beginners. They are easy to cut in front of in line though. Quote

Expand It is a fine and charming group. I've very much appreciated their kind welcome this year. I have to go to Vermont next weekend to help my mom get her house/things ready for a big move to an independent-living place. Unless I can get away Thursday evening, or they stay open longer than anticipated, I may not get a chance to ski Blue before they close. If that's the case, I hope some of you would be up for a PASR bike park day! 1 Quote

This storm is crazy, and with snow on the ground people will come out, which hopefully will encourage snowmaking. Leaving tomorrow morning, skiing Sunday. Got a free pass to an undisclosed location. (I don't want to jinx things). I will definitely report back. 1 Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) For those who missed it, Montage is offering a $299 pass for a limited time. And the standard line still smokes the VIP line at Blue even if the lifts and location don't. Edited March 5, 2018 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Posted March 5, 2018 I wonder if TP4 bought his pass. Quote

saltyant Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 Wow you guys were almost spared from having to deal with me next season. I procrastinated and waited until Saturday to buy my pass. If the roads were good on Saturday and I had gone to Camelback instead I might have ended up back there next year. Quote
toast21602 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 Even $499 is a good deal compared to other years. Obviously not compared to the $399 price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Expand 35 to 45 minutes. Time to Blue is more variable depending on traffic and condition of back roads from Nazareth to Blue Montage has advantage of cheap close hotels for overnight if I want to do 2 days.
