RidgeRacer Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 Lol at Blue using a power outage as a marketing tactic. 1 1 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Got the email. 6th grade Ski passes are $99 this year. I will take it $399 + 99 + 99 - 50 (sold off two Blue lift tkt vouchers for $25 each when I got this) = $547 for 3 of us to ski Blue all next season. Edited March 6, 2018 by Ski2Live Live2Ski 3 Quote

Expand I just think when they raised their price to $499 yesterday morning a lot of folks bitched. They should have held a hard line. They had almost two weeks to lock in the $399 price. 1 1 Quote

Expand Agree with this somewhat, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to also have condos as well, as regular hotel rooms to ensure investments. That same hotel management company could manage the condos as well. The plan they originally had really did not interest me at all, but full ownership of a condo would interest me as a potential rental property or even just a nice place to stay after a wedding, or boozing too much at Blue (as long as it was dog friendly, or course). Since I'm on the mood to discuss condo and whatnot, I also think Blue should build some xc biking trails on the flats and lower angle mountain as well as hiking trails all over that would bring people up there and could link with the AT. Doesn't need to be anything fancy, just something that once is built, and gets some food traffic could maintain itself or minimal maintenance, which could also bring more people there for food/drinks in the non-winter season. Ever since the statue of TP4 fell through, I haven't been as interested in getting up there over the summer other than biking. Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Posted March 15, 2018 What do you think the market price for a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo would be at Blue? New construction isn't cheap...I'm thinking in the high 200s.. Quote

Expand It wouldn't be right. Would likely be 2-3 times what I pay. I also drive to work a lot more times in a year than I drive to skiing and there's not a dozen restaurants within a mile of Blue like where I live or college girls or karaoke at multiple venues within 5 miles. I would possibly stay there a few times though. I sort of want to stay at the Renaissance hotel in downtown Allentown sometime for shits and giggles and the hotel Bethlehem and Hyatt place center city Bethlehem for shits and giggles. Would be a fun and extremely drunken staycation. Edited March 15, 2018 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote

I don't know if that land is zoned residential. Quote

As far as sports go the amount of equipment needed is very minimal. I used to disc golf regularly when I lived in Montana and a little bit at the Jordan course and Lehigh Parkway. It's fairly similar to regular golf, shuffleboard and pool in that it involves a lot of muscle memory. Quote
