Ski Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 out of the five people at Montage today. I love when that happens. Quote
Shadows Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 thats awesome. but why? is it just cause its a small mountain? Quote
Ski Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Posted January 9, 2006 It's bigger than Blue and CB, but don't tell anyone. It's mostly just because business is bad. Quote
Shadows Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 It's bigger than Blue and CB, but don't tell anyone. It's mostly just because business is bad. its only 500 vert? Quote
Ski Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Posted January 9, 2006 1000' vert, which is 200 more than CB. Nine more skiable acres than Blue. Not dissing, though, we try and keep it quiet. BTW, welcome back Shadows. You scared a lot of people. Quote
Shadows Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) nvm, i read this thread about montage wrong... the headwall of some trail is 500 vert. http://www.paskiandride.com/forums/index.p...rats+to+montage but yea, thanks for your support, everyone.

Ski Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Posted January 10, 2006 Your right it was very empty today.But it got more crowded around 5 or so. Also i almost landed my first cork3 but i just need a bit more air. I tell ya, MS, last Thursday night I went down to Blue around 5pm...I pulled into the lower lodge lot and there was a traffic jam of cars and buses. The lodge was crammed with kids...maybe a kabillion of them. Then, outside, somebody broke their fancy quad, so there was a 45 minute line to ride a dinky old chair up to the top. Ever been on the NYC subway at 5pm? I couldn't even see any of the park features 'cause there were too many people laying on everything. I know Blue skiers/riders are all richer, smarter, far better looking, much nicer than the Hunta crowd...but there's just soooooo freaking many of them. I was a little scared. In fact, I hesitated to mention this in Blue's forum, since they may travel in packs of thousands and didn't wanna p*ss any of them off too bad. Quote
Ski Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Posted January 10, 2006 Oh, sh*t, I may have p*ssed off Doug and Jeff knows where I live 8*) Seriously, though, I've been out of practice for dealing with that stuff, Doug. I was waiting in the ticket line and someone leaned a snowboard on me. I'm like "WTF?" So then I went and stood in line to take a wizz and unless I'm at a club with a Absolut/rocks in one hand and 30 goth chicks outside waiting, then that's a bad moment in my life. You should seriously consider relocating to a mountain that's always on the verge of closing down. Quote
Schif Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Ski999, you've got to watch what you say. If you keep talking about Montage like this I might actually have to get in a, dare I say it, "lift line". Quote

And during the days, lifties keep saying things like "You have the mountain to yourself again." Quote
Papasteeze Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Do you guys have 100% coverage? Cause if this warm spell keeps up.... Quote
Ski Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Posted January 11, 2006 Do you guys have 100% coverage? Cause if this warm spell keeps up.... We never have 100% coverage. The North Face is fine, though. Colder nights up here, although we don't get the 100+ inches that BC gets down in that snowbelt valley Quote
toast21602 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 blue has 100% and will for a while..... tons of snow all over. they did a good job early this season getting a solid base down. as for montage..... there is a reason there are no liftlines there.... Quote

Ha, go ahead, toast, don't leave us hanging...why is Blue better? More vert? More acreage? Better snow quality? Quote
Glenn Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 Ha, go ahead, toast, don't leave us hanging...why is Blue better? More vert? More acreage? Better snow quality? I guess their park is nutz this year, haven't seen it for myself yet. If it lives up to the hype that would be a reason... I'd take a pass to montage any day over blue though... Quote
toast21602 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 what sucks for Bear is that even though it is close to Blue... the temp difference hurts them so much because Blue is blowing tonight but i dont think Bear is able to because it is too warm... Quote
Ski Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Posted January 11, 2006 Toast is a soccer player, so it's impossible for me to give him a hard time about anything. Quote
Glenn Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 Uh.... no thanks on speakers, tents, theatres and the like. Give me trees, snow and lifts and I'm a happy dude. The mountain is beautiful the way it is. Why complicate it? Quote
toast21602 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 I guess their park is nutz this year, haven't seen it for myself yet. If it lives up to the hype that would be a reason... I'd take a pass to montage any day over blue though... park is amazing... like i said before. its the best park i have even skied at besides Mount Snow. id take a pass to montage over blue if i lived up there... especially since nobody goes there. but i live 7 1/2 minutes from Blue so its a little more inviting and the park is better, by far. Toast is a soccer player, so it's impossible for me to give him a hard time about anything. thanks Quote
AtomicSkier Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 On a weekend Montage is only an hour away from Bethlehem for me, and that's well worth the drive. I loved the diamonds there, just a great mountain, and the lack of people there was amazing! I felt crowded when one other person was on the run with us.... Can't wait to head back up there when it gets cooler Quote
adrian Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 montages dedicated park crew is getting the job done. Quote
