I know that's a hard concept for weekend warriors to grasp. Thats how I did most of my early skiing at Little Gap when I was in HS 75 min away. $10 weekday night tix.

I was shocked how crowded weekday mornings were at blue last season. There used to be like 7-8 people for opening, now there are like 50 people on a weekday morning 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I expect that...and night might be a little less crowded with less school groups. Gonna try for less nights this weekend and more weekday mornings. I can come into work at 1130. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 The new lift is open at camelback. They rang a bell for it and opened up a bottle of champagne with a machete.

Barb Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I was all excited because some friends and I made plans to drive up to Winter Park and just do a mellow tour and test out gear. We knew we were not going to Berthoud Pass since it is always a shit show. But even when we drove by it looked pretty dry. Iced over punchy snow but there were plenty of cars there. When we got to the spot we planned this is what we found. So since a few of us just got new beacons we just did some beacon practice for a while Such a bummer, we really need some snow.

RidgeRacer Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I've noticed that some mountains either have opened or will open to pass holders only to start. Wonder if Blue will do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I think they’ll be selling a limited amount of passes using their reservation system. Do you know how people sometimes walk around the lot trying to sell lift tickets. It might be the other way around this season, people walking around looking to buy tickets.
