12/3-12/5 weekend roll call thread.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hey All,

 

It’s almost another weekend and ski season.  Is anybody planning on skiing Blue mountain the true mountain this Friday-Sunday?  Looks like nice comfortable temperatures and some legit upper mountain terrain open.  Maybe even some hard cider will be consumed in the parking lot.

I might come if Vista's open at least 

[toast21602]

Yes.

[JFskiDan]

Sat and sun are.......

Maybe Friday

[AtomicSkier]

I'll be there.

@Benm needs to chill the fuck out with booting up so early, though.  It rushes everyone.

Don't mean to stomp on the stoke, but I was thinking about heading out to Blue Saturday....$89 for a 4 hour pass?  $120 for 8 hours? For vista and Main Street?

 

Yikes.

 

Glad they are limiting sales, but hard to stomach those numbers....

Correct, it seems ridiculous but they'll still sell out so if they charge less they'll be leaving money on the table.

It’s to incentivize season pass sales..plus a lot of pent up demand..people are paying those prices which means Blue isn’t leaving money on the table.

OMG Salty I think we just post about leaving money on the table at the same time.  

[NMSKI]

I'll be there on Saturday.  Let the anxiety begin about whether my pass will work and if I remember how to ski.

You guys make a cute couple.

[tnt]

Yeah, I'm happy for them.  And honestly, I would pay it for a day  with the whole mountain open.  

Just seems nuts for opening weekend sliding on two ways down.

There’s a lot of pent up demand.

That seems to be the trend among resorts this year, as i have heard quite a bit about resorts charging full price for limited terrain.  If Blue is limiting passes in any way, when one person doesnt want to pay that, there is always someone behind them willing to, sooooo.......

[AtomicSkier]

I wish they'd charge $200/ticket to keep poors like Ski2Live away from Blue for good.

[RidgeRacer]

I shall be in attendance on Friday and Saturday. 

[Mixilplix]

Saturday and Sunday fo sho.....Friday ehhhhh..

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

All three days for me...

The season passes they limited sales of?

The season passes were available for several weeks in the spring and a bit more in the fall.  They can only sell so many. I’m sure they sold several thousand

I have to work Friday, so on the fence. I’d have to call out and just one call out anymore is a disaster. But I do need a mental health day. If not I’ll be there Sunday and Tuesday.
