How long before we see a setup like this on Vista in the green season? lol

I realize that's unlikely due to the wedding business, as well as all the foot traffic across that slope for the ropes courses, laser tag, archery and disc golf. It does make me wonder how many additional ancillaries we're going to see at Blue under new management though.

Wouldn't be surprised. They could put it on that learning hill with the magic carpets up top or just utilize the tubing area that they already have at the base.

Adding slides like that might take away from Action Archery though. 

 

Seriously I need to know how many people do that.

I thought about the tubing area. I wonder if they need a bit more pitch than a typical tubing area? I wonder why Camel sets them up on Sunbowl instead of their own tubing area.

Will it take away from it or add more targets?

I would definitely do it one time. I have a feeling it wouldn't be as fun as it should be, but would not mind the opportunity to shoot a bow and arrow directly at people

Hickory Run has disc golf as well.

[mbike-ski]

Also a course in bowmanstown

I find disc golf completely boring. But I have some friends that love it.

I would not recommend learning disc golf at Blue Mountain as even experienced players can get frustrated with searching and losing discs in the ' rough'.  The course is not well maintained.  As you get improve there are some thrilling downhill shots, but the risk reward is high.

There are bunch of nicer and also more beginner friendly courses in the LV area.  The LV/Philly/Poconos is loaded with courses.

Use the UDisc app to search and find courses.

I highly recommend learning...trying.. DG has been my addiction longer than snowboarding.

Do people still call it Folf?  Frisbee golf is also usually free.

To be honest most people who are serious disc golfers look down on the terms 'frolf or Frisbee golf'.. but can easily be used in conversation with newbs.

There is a growing number of pay-to-play courses(typically ~$5), but yeah you can always find free courses in public town/state parks.

Pops and I keep saying we want to go up there and try it. I should probably get my shoulder looked at first 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Blue needs to build a waterpark and a hotel if they want to attract people there in the summer.  Also a mountain coaster.

When I used to disc golf I always tore my hand up.  Maybe the pros wear gloves.
