toast21602 Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 As we anxiously wait for the snow guns to start firing again to refresh our beloved Blue Mountain, here are some images that I stumbled upon while organizing some photos on my computer. Lots of rumors circulating right now about the future plans that Blue has with the new KSL ownership group, but here are some images of what has been planned for Blue in the past. Everything from "Summit Splash" waterpark, to the infamous Vista Lodge Residence Club, and master plans for site development. We know almost all of these plans have been squashed, but it will still be interesting to see what happens over the next few years. Ski you all in a few days! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Delaware ? Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Doesn’t Barb still own the mountain and they simply bought/lease the management rights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Delaware ? Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I didn’t get any days in there last year, and only a few so far this year, a couple of which were training. With how paranoid Vermont is, Omicron could shut down out of staters again. Who knows? It’s all in flux… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my impression but I have zero idea as to what the truth is. I sort of wish they'd put some kind of ice skating rink in. I can't see it costing much, minus a zamboni. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Honestly I could get down with summit splash. If they did a family season pass of some sort I can't see how I wouldn't be all over it. I definitely want SS to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justo8484 Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I don’t remember ever seeing that 2nd photo with the major trail expansion. There’s already bike trails over there, and that part of the ridge is super gnar rocky. Would take a lot more snow to get that open than what’s currently in existence unless there was a large scale rock removal effort. This pitch is good for some more interesting terrain though; more/better glades would be nice. Maybe a more advanced area a la east mountain at frost?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Why didn’t they build the water park? I know they even hired Searfess construction who was in charge of the summit lodge expansion for the project. They did clear out some trees and put in some parking for the water park. A shame the watermark was never built. Riding water slides was always something I was pretty good at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope when they get around to putting one in it’s a new design though. That particular design doesn’t look very good in 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antman12 Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I can definitely see them adding a hotel like the first picture. Very nice and realistic rendering btw. 1 hour ago, Benm said: I can't see it costing much, minus a zamboni. I used to work at a hockey store that had a mini ice rink attached to it. Learned how to drive the Zamboni and the owner would let me use the ice after hours as long as I cut the ice when I was done.

antman12 Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Yup. Goalie Guru is still there and uses the ice. Might even own the place now. I used to shoot on his goalies back in the day. He trains goalies from children up to the NHL level. He’s legit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) I never realized how huge hockey is in PA until I joined PASR. At least five hockey players on this page. Nick Malozzi, MBike, TP4, Kyle and Antman. I just did roller hockey as a kid. Never had the option to play ice hockey. I played intramural broom ball in college.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Initial they were planning for quarter shares for their hotel/condos. Both me and my dad requested info about pricing and are still waiting. Sheesh by the time it’s built I might be able to afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
