Does Hazleton have a Whole Foods?

Hell no. Hazleton's a dump. Whole Foods only come to nice towns. I'll pick up some Steazy Tea next time I'm in Malvern.

Maybe Johnny Style will be there. He was at Blue opening day last year.

I don’t understand why the Burma lift and not both Burma and Main Street chairs.

Maybe it'll be like the gift cards day again, when they were sending 1/3 of the chairs up empty with 500 people in line. That was great! Then Atomic caught me trying to cut the line, but I was actually looking for the singles line.

Well that was after a snowfall I believe. I don’t think it will be that crowded.

Same. When we made a bunch of plans I never even considered we might be skiing this weekend.

This may come in handy. You could cross out boarding and write in skiing.

Wow @saltyant even your local station WNEP did a story on Blue mountain.

 Damn, oldschool. I remember we used to bump this a lot with @librider and @Shadows back in the keystone days.

[Shadows]

Fo sho.

I am limited to Saturday and sunday nights. 

[Justin]

I still can’t believe blue is opening mid november with a full week of snowmaking prior. God damn insane

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

You know Blue mountain is gonna be busy Saturday when even my non skiing customers and people at the bank are talking about Blue opening Saturday.  Before social media they’d be open a week or two before the crowds came.

The 9 am open is a real drag. There will probably be 40 or 50 people waiting.

Then don’t fucking go if you are just going to complain. 

[JFskiDan]

Boulder will be crowded, huntah will be crowded, blue will be crowded, camelback will be closed. It wont matter where you go, it will be crowded. Camelback not opening this weekend certainly will not help with crowds.

Wow. That wasn't a complaint just a statement. But they should open at 8 am.

I agree they should open at 8.  What's an extra hour gonna get them other than a more crowded open?

I meant 8 to 9 is PASR time when we can ski freely without crowds. PASRs have street cred, you guys got your picture on the website. Gosh calm down Toast. You know there's going to be 150 people in line by 9:30 am.

An hour less they have to pay the staff. Indiggio you can spend that extra hour pacing around lol

Toast will probably have a pre skiing beer.
