That's something new, I've been told they always open with it on Come Around and only not last year because the new lift wasnt in service yet. Man trails names change so often. Who is Barb? Dime there’s no how it always was at Blue..this is the new Blue..the place looks like ski area tycoon like a Sim city game. Where else is there a high speed quad and two six packs leaving from one valley and arriving at two seperate peaks within 40 miles of Saltys hot sister?? Name changes happen..Lawrence street in Allentown is now Martin Luther king blvd Shobiz Pizza became chuckee cheese even Mark Wahlburg used to be marky mark.. Barb Green was the daughter of Ray Tuthill the founder of Blue mountain ski resort. When he passed in 2007 she took over the reins and in my humble opinion she did a great job. She’s now retired. I’ll find an article about her. She’s a legend and legends rule. She could have sold to camelback a decade ago but she kept the place independent.

This should be stickied. Well in honor of Barbs legacy and support of the indy vibe, I will respect the name change and dub the park Barbs Way.

That would be rad…and @saltyant is no longer a Jerry he’s a Gerald and he only learned to ski like 7 years ago and is almost as fast as me on tuts lane if his skis are waxed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFskiDan Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 I didnt notice paradise and freefall didnt make the list. Hopefully for sat.

Also possibly a snow preservation strategy. Keep the whales in place on some trails to push out for full time opening starting next weekend. Or even just for this Saturday and Sunday.

Johnny Law Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 I don't really care what they have open, almost every year we get like Vista or lower main and many years we do only that for a bit. First day it's like fawn leg skiing anyways and cool just to be out. Maybe I'm smoking crack but this seems to be a big increase in output, its still the same mostly but over the years Blue has become alot more brofessional. Opening weekend pdis would make it feel alot bigger even if only to go the Magellan route. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Just checked. My photo is uploaded and my waivers are signed. 100% my pass won’t work Friday.

You have to upload a picture. I only knew about that cause Ridge said and it was in the email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
