Expand Not normal but some resorts have them. I just remembered they also try to get Burma open early now. One season blue opened with lazy mile in addition to Main Street. Quote

Justin Posted November 23, 2021 Report Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) happy skison friends, we're almost there. really wanted to join you all at Blue again, but I apparently missed the boat to buy a $725 pass (whoops). decided to go to BC this year, but I hope to get up to blue for at least one parking lot pimping session. this will be the first year I've held a pass (in PA) that wasn't at blue the true since my very first one in 2005. big sad.

Expand Well it’s two high speed quads for one top to bottom run. The bad thing is that they have race training before it’s open to the public so no fresh cord to start and probably ruts. 1 Quote

I'm not one to complain on FB like that, but I felt like I needed to share my feedback somehow with them. I still would have overpaid too, if that were even an option. my job screwed me in 19/20 by forcing travel on me sun-wed, so that killed my ability to actually ski that year. those were 2 very expensive days lol. living in coatesville also sucked. now that we're in ambler, it's way easier to get out and ski though, that should be more enticing to go every week. 50 min to BC, 75 min to blue. looks like I'm skiing a lot more park this year than I planned.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 23, 2021 Author Report Posted November 23, 2021 I’m sure Blue will offer an early bird season pass deal again around early March and it would include the rest of the current ski season for new passholders. In theory you could ge their money’s worth on next years pass before this ski season is over. Quote
