already noon and nothing. the 63 people that were interested have already moved on.

It's annoying when a company or person says there's "something big" to announce and then makes you wait a full day, and still nothing. It's even worse when it's "bad news".

Either tell us or don't! I'm starting to begin the early planning stages for a trip to CO and need to know if/when the Epic and/or Ikon Pass will be in effect. This announcement better be huge!

A petting zoo!

I knew it!

[RootDKJ]

Ax throwing lanes?

Medical marijuana dispensary in the tents?

A fire pit & wood pile in each row?

[Schif]

A new brand of hot dog for sale in the lower lodge? 

Acquisition of a moose mascot and associated costume? 

Wine and painting classes being held on alternate Sundays in the upper lodge?

I am also expecting an incredible letdown...

Its just best to expect little, and be surprised if its something above “its going to get cold friday and we are planning on making snow.”

Ok

For those of us without FB (probably just me) would someone be kind enough to post whatever nothingness is announced here?

GSS is all over it. He’s already left several messages on the FB page. When they release it, we will know.

I'll admit I don't keep up on my PA ski politics too much but I'm pretty sure that blue is not going to be epic or ikon-ic

Don't listen to anything he says. He's a mini-troll like Doug.

This announcement could be something epic that would make an ikonic mountain like Blue an even better place to ski at.

Ok.

Fair enough. I'm not sure which is worse. Being a troll or failing at being a troll.

They probably want to announce snowmaking, but they are waiting as long as possible to make sure the temperatures will be what they are forecasting. It’s all a stall tactic...

I never troll or trolled. I just post stuff to entertain Grilled Steeze Sandwich.

lets put our thinking caps on. guns get fired up now, snowmaking temps look good all through next week. we get an opening next weekend. temps rise up around thanksgiving, we get an eventual rain, it all turns to shit, we count down the days until the valley opens.

Better to blow now and get some snow down that will eventually be washed away, or wait until there is a lengthy cold period?

Get something down ASAP in order to start cooling down the terrain.
