Schif Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 As impractical as this sounds to us, imagine what it does in the mind of someone from NYC when they look at the map of the place. Quote

A lot of ski resorts have them like Stowe and sugarbush..id just rather take Sullivan and ski a connector run to Stevenson or vice versa than ride a lift between the two. 2 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 Maybe Blue could one up Camelwack and put a five person lift up Tuts lane..then you could ski razors from the vista and Main Street chairs easier without skiing all the way down into the valley. 1 Quote

eaf Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 Is all parking going to be paid for at CB or is it only for overnight? I remember reading something about it here, but now all I can find on their website is $25 per car overnight. Quote

theprogram4 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 To this day i still find it hilarious that Camelback hired the biggest snitch in nyc graffiti history back in 2011-2012 for their graffiti terrain park lol Quote

Did @Schif say he’s ridden with eddie’s father at montage? I feel like he mentioned that years ago Quote

It has to be the first time I have ever seen a high speed lift used to connect 2 base areas. Expand Not quite the same scenario, but there's a lift at canyons that essentially connects two areas of the mountain, where you can take the lift in both directions. Also rode one in chamonix that just took you back and forth between two different ski areas; nothing under the lift was actually even in bounds at all. 1 Quote

saltyant Posted October 9, 2020 Author Report Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) The season pass perks now include "Free Parking", not "Free Preferred Parking". Not a good sign... does this imply everyone else will be forced to pay?? Hopefully this is just some lame marketing gimmick for their season pass sales. Edited October 9, 2020 by saltyant Quote

Well no ticket...amazing. Felt like stealing. 1 Quote
