And massive temperature drop..low of 27 for mount pocono Sunday AM and very very strong winds…the bubble lit might not even run woo woo woo

That might mess up my streak of not riding a single fixed grip lift this year

You didn’t ride the vista chair at blue? I rode it once or twice the beginning of the season to check on the progress of the top station of the super summit safari six pack. I was thinking about that earlier and at Jackson hole I rode the Union pass and Sublette chairs and all the other lifts are detachable. Didn’t ride the Marmot at all.

No I have late night plans for Saturday.

This is not acceptable! Late night plans calls for a late mountain arrival time. ☺️

Nope! If you wanna party late with the boys, you have to get up early with the men!

I’m not partying with the boys. I’m not a homo.

Anybody know if other season ticket holders qualify for first trax at 730?

It's the last day, they probably don't care. That being said 730am frozen cord doesn't sound great. 830 or 9 might be better.

I'll be rolling in around 8 or so.

Yeah, hoping they don’t care. Limited on time so I’ll give it a try on the snow early. If not, we’ll see how strict their no tailgating policy is

Benm · April 1, 2023

is there a specific lot we are infiltrating? Tailgating sounds technical if we're spread out around the lots.

RidgeRacer · April 1, 2023

Not sure they’ll have much left to groom. Live shot below. Heavy rain just started

Wow that looks so much worse than what it looked like this morning.

Hopefully someone has beta on this and can share.

I feel pretty confident they aren't going to allow other mountain pass holders on for First tracks. We have to go to Guest Services to show our pass to get a ticket, so I'm sure it'll be a day comp that won't register as a SP and open the gates early, assuming they have it set that way to figure out who to let on easily at the lifts.

Here is the parking map. Lot 2 and lot 3 are premium lots. Since they said free General parking, I expect these will still be pay lots. Lots 4,5,7,8 lots are normal paid or season pass lots that should be free tomorrow.

Here is a satellite image. Red squiggles are premium. Yellows are free, green is lot 8, this is where i intend to park. It's down the hill back towards the hotel, right next to the beginner Sunbowl slope. It's actually the closest parking to the snow, but not the most convenient to the good lifts. Either have to ski over to the Sunbowl quad and catch a lift up to the new bubble, or down past it to the indoor Waterpark lift and ride thst to the top. That's probably my plan, with a Nile Mile run first, then a trip back up and head lookers right to get down to the other lift and see what's good over there.

My plan is to arrive about 745, park down by Sunbowl, walk up in street shoes to GS for my ticket, then back down and boot up. I only have until about 1030 because Boy 1 has a soccer game at noon.

Lots 7 wouldd probably be the safest bet for tailgating. Its far enough away but not to inconvenient. Straight up the paved hill to guest services.

Anyone who goes today should hit Zack's Taco Shack on the access road on the way out. On the right by a pizza place and a ski shop. You won't be sorry — I'm bummed I won't have time to stop.

RidgeRacer · April 2, 2023

On my way. I'm parking as close as I can possibly get to the snow

Benm · April 2, 2023

overslept omw now

enjoralas · April 2, 2023

Just arrived. No line at guest service. Used drop off lane, grabbed an employee spot to park, ran in for pass. 2 min. Parked by Sunbowl in lot 8 and booting now

Schif · April 2, 2023

Thanks for the map @enjoralas. I'll be up there soon.

enjoralas · April 2, 2023

2 laps off indoor Waterpark lift, Nile Mile, then something to something to Pocono Raceway. Nice coverage. Bone rattling frozen cord. A little variability in grooming, ledges, levels etc, especially in corners. No more than should be expected

enjoralas · April 2, 2023

First ride up the bubble. The S4 at Bleu is ofc super nice, but this thing is a Cadillac. Or a Crown Vic, as it were. We know who KSL considers the flagship

RidgeRacer · April 2, 2023

Fun day. One of the few things I like about CB is that it always makes me appreciate Blue's terrain that much more. Enjo nailed conditions. Bone rattling frozen cord was everywhere with the exception of a 3 or 4 turns on king Tut. What was open had surprisingly decent coverage and the bubble lift was a hoot. In the house were @mute1080 @Dirtwolf @Schif @Benm @enjoralas @indiggio and a bunch of peeps with indiggio that I didn't know, a few cb locals and I think we saw @DiMe too. Blue peeps were representin'. Good day, good season.
