@Johnny Law Blue Mountain resorts just sent me this via email message. This is so radical it deserves its own thread.

I'm just happy it didn't catch my scratching my ass crack or something seriously though that is a nice drone shot.

I hope tomorrow those VIP lines go right up to the end of the inside lanes. Otherwise there's not much point.

give them widowmaker and vista chair.

I think he's talking about BMR, not lessons. I don't think anyone has an issue with lessons cutting lines, that simply makes sense with the outrageous amount of money lessons cost. BMR, on the other hand, should not be allowed to cut lines.

Rode from 9 to 11, c1er and Oz in the house otherwise empty didn't even see BFG's crew. Main was hard stiff resonator cord with odd debris piles, lazy and dis held softer turns and the big right was in good shape to slut it up. Headwall of coming soon was also pretty firm but smooth enough that it didn't matter. The dis runout continues to confound the beginners which at the very least is fun to watch. I would imagine there will be an hour or two where it's perfect hero snow as it was slowly getting softer. It was pretty quiet overall but you can tell there are more people early, I imagine this weekend with be quite busy. Skied with a dude named Jack on armadas, he was keen perhaps to make aquanticies so if he shows up here he's legit.

This is actually a really beautiful high quality drone picture. WJW, Blue is really getting after it!!!

I hate long lift lines, but I also hate paying all that money for camp for my kids and them not getting an adequate number of laps in to lurn sumthin. If they were in camp on Sunday last week instead of Saturday I honestly would have wished they kept them in the little Frontier learning area

Very good to see Blue making an effort! Complaining does seem to help. Hopefully they'll implement something in the new 6 for grouping, if it's seriously crowded.

Prolly Sunday & Monday.

If I had that much money to waste sure as hell wouldn’t waste it on that.

I don’t like skiing the trail after they’re done with it.

I’m hoping they just leave dreamweaver as a regular trail. Y’all can have come around, barbs way, Central Park and Yeti

Hey All, It’s almost another weekend, is anybody planning on skiing Blue mountain the true mountain? Looks like a short but heavy rainfall ending early Saturday AM followed by slowly dropping temperatures but still well above freezing..then Sunday looks like 30mph winds wooooo…hold onto your hat.. Then Monday is MLK day and 8am opening..so could be a nice three day weekend…fun fun fun.

What's even more radical is that Camelback has girls in bikinis any day you want them. You just have to ski to the express on the far end and then walk the long corridor to the surfing area. Best resort in Poconos!

You dodged a bullet but the guy waiting to get on lift got caught sniffin the person in front of them...

Blue should have opened up widowmaker at the beginning and given that to BMR the entire time instead of pissing on Raisins that one time, only to have it end up in the retention pond.

Sat,Sun and Mon...... should be a wild ride

They have dedicated season pass lines but they also upped their cattle chute game all around. They had pleeb chutes setup at like 910 on the new sixer which is good for them.

Fuck those snooty little brats. They pissed me off last Sunday big time. Closing trails on the busiest day of the year and jumping the lift gates every run right onto the chairs.

I punched a French guy and broke my pinkie finger at Camelback. I think I told that story already.

Sat unless it’s raining. Planning on sun mon too

What's with the 'we'? You work at CB now?

Saturday and Sunday

Sat Sun Mon

After last weekend I’ll pass until more trails are open

I’m kinda jaded from blue after sunday’s debacle and the insane amount of people on the trails on Monday. There is a 40% chance I’ll be there tomorrow at some point but not for opening. I should be there sat and sun though, or maybe just tomorrow and Sunday, but def Sunday, so who knows

28” so far this week at Jackson hole..snowing now and snow in the forecast after month long dry spell. New terrain opening by the hour.

Starting to rain.

Always had a great view of them from chair 6. That was as close as I would want to get. Climbing Mt Marcy with a full pack on was one of the stupider things I’ve done.

Whiteface? Was he going to run the slides? Have you run them? Think a beacon is my son’s next bday present.

Don’t think it was, didn’t recognize anyone standing around.

There are some people I know exactly how they ski…but most are unpredictable…anybody skiing like 85% of my speed or more that’s hogging the trail or skiing side by side with somebody, I’ll just hold back a little which then makes me feel a little less safe cause then I’ll get passed by mofos even straight lining rentards sometimes Somebody who I won’t name because he lurks, will purposely hold back a few seconds at the top so he can go balls to the walls and pass everybody..I’ve noticed so now will hold back even more and watch the fuckery from behind.

see the comment above yours.

I'll have to check next time I go, maybe I'll write a report on their V.I.P. lines.

I'm just glad to see some improvement, I'm sure it will be nuts to butts but some simple things will really help. Interested to see if they are ready tomorrow, all week they've been good but it's easy when it's empty.

Wow, I love Blue Mountain now! @GrilledSteezeSandwich can call us complainers Karens or Jim-Bobs, but the squeaking wheels get the Vaseline.

i think ikoners are not passholders. i think they will need to work on that, but i'm on board with the changes at least from this side of the internet.

Better Rhododendren Glen than Pharoah to Bactrian though

Did everyone download the Camelback app?? Blue Mountain doesn't have an app. This is radical! The app gives gapers I mean "Pros" some tips on how to navigate around the resort to get from their New York City condos to the perder. I'll be long long gone before they arrive thanks to being a VIP with First Traax.

seems like a lot more on the way, too.

In on Saturday, 50/50 on Sunday, unlikely Monday.

@DiMe I love Camelback now!! NEW TRAILS ALERT! We are adding Upper Moore's Ramble and Rhododendron Glen to the trail count. Today is January 12th and we will be open from 9AM-9PM with 15 trails and 4 lifts running.

Just join BMR, then you can ski something besides Midway!!!

Just wrapped up a quick sesh to stretch the legs and test the body. Did 4 runs. Everything is still soft. First two runs down main were nice and rippin but lower main had washboard rollers. Coming soon was closed initially and then the rope drop and it was rutted up like crazy from BMR but as always the skiers right was nice and the ditch was gettable. No real crazy lift lines dispite the number of busses across the street. Also turns out the new Blue strategy to handle them is to yell rudely at everyone to load chairs full. I think that’ll work…

I too smoke weed.

Just got back from a short later afternoon sesh at Blue The True. Snow was getting a bit sugary but still had moisture content. Just lapped lazy, upper main, and vista to miday to the park a bunch of times. All in all JADIP. Snowmaking conditions looking superb for next week!

Managed to get there for an hour this afternoon. Hit everything at least once and they did fill in most of the holes nicely. Soft snow and skied right on to the lift each time.

Got to CB Tuesday afternoon. Had to find a hole in the storm cycle to travel. In winter when Kebler Pass closes, it’s just as far from Marble as it is from Boulder to get here. There is a route that cuts 30 min off the time, but you skirt the road of Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Did it once in winter. It’s icy, foggy, twisty and desolate. I kept thinking if I slid off the road nobody would find me until spring! So now I drive here via Montrose and stay on the main roads. All of Colorado seems below snowpack levels. When I arrived my house wasn’t blocked by a mound of snow. But maybe winter has finally arrived. Yesterday woke up to a fresh 4”. It was negative temps and the wind was whipping. So I was lazy and took the 10:15 bus. I was told Paradise was socked in and absolutely freezing. So I stayed on the front side. It was bitterly cold. My face hurt after an hour so I left. Today the webcam said 7” when I woke up. By the time I left it was up to between 8-9”. Surprisingly quiet. Again, due to very low viz, I stayed on the front side. Decided to try and work on my very mediocre powder skilz. Did 6 powder laps and a few groomed. Snow was deep!! Only a few pics as it was pretty cold again. Supposed to snow all weekend. It’s a holiday so will probably be busy
