Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I considered just doing day trips/finding discounted tickets until next years pass comes out, but I just ended up getting the pass for 2019/20 instead. The past 10 years or so, I only got out 5 or 6 times a season, plus a trip out west. Having a season pass again got me out pretty much every weekend that I was free. 1 Quote

I would be kicking myself if I had to pay an extra hundred I have a feeling they’ve sold way more than 100 passes since last night.  Quote
mute1080 Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 Two seasons ago I only used my season pass twice in the beginning of the season. It was completely on me.I didn't / wouldn't have even asked if they had something like that.We all know the risks in this sport, and in purchasing something in advance....Win some..lose some...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk4 years ago when I tore my ACL, I know that was the policy.

Largely cause last year had a bunch of snow days mid week while this year I have skied only weekends and holidays. Plus extended season with late April trip to Sunday River piggybacked on work flying me to MA.

You’d have to take some weekends in April up to hunter and mount snow and or take a trip out west to equal 31 days. Still 2-3 more weekends at Blue. 1 Quote

Was more than I anticipated and was very grateful for it. I'm fairly certain that i wasn't at 15 days though. Quote

My bad 7 at blue and one elsewhere.  I’m trying to memorize everybody’s stats for all the years and not quite there yet. Edited March 20, 2019 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 Will more likely have more 2 ski day weekends next year due to trips to Hunter and Snow Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) No they have not been to Hunter. I dont find the crowds or patrons there any worse than at Blue. I view Hunter and Blue as Catskills/Blue equivalents - the largest and most crowded places in each with the most folks skiing beyond their abilities. Though as with all things Catskills, it is larger and more challenging than PA "equivalents" If they dont like Hunter, they will do more Frost and Snow. Hunter will most likely be my go to place without them. Def the most challenging high speed lift served terrain I can day trip to. Edited March 20, 2019 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote
