Limes are kind of stumpy. I left before the 6 opened and the quad was maybe 2-3min.

I guess passholders do have a voice 😇 Thank you Blue!!

Can confirm due to many complaints midweek is a go this coming week. Its beautiful out here.

I still love Blue at its core. I dislike the big wigs decisions.

They had plenty snow Monday and the damage from this weeks weather isn't as dramatic as they play it to be. Camelback Tues and Wednesday proved it as well as the other local hills that remained open. Skier traffic is reduced dramatically in the weather we had and what eats the snow the absolute most is the nightly grooming of it in this state. Simple solution, let the cats sleep a few nights groom for the money spending ticket purchasers and snow condition primadonnas for the weekend. Keeps everyone happy. This early of a midweek closing altogether with the abrupt Thursday decision imo just shows once they have passholders money, they know they're not getting anything else out of us so we're bottom of the barrel to keep happy. They know they dont have any real local competition terrain wise and we'll keep paying the highest threshold they'll set that the largest percentage of us will still tolerate.

They're having a rough go up therr as well this year. I'm content as long as the lifts are spinning for what is left in April. They still have a chance for a late season storm or two.

Yes at Stratton and Bush immediate access. Details for other spring access is on their site now.

Im calming down now that Ikon released pricing and I'm booking up Stratton and Bush through April. Blue just really disappointed me with this decision this early.

I dunno man, have you ever been to New England resorts in mid to late April? Isnt that what ski patrol and lolipop signs are for. Honestly I dont think the web cam looks that bad at all this morning except upper main. If its super sketchy on a single trail close it, theres chute and or midway and lower with plenty coverage still.

I enjoyed my time there this week. Honestly dont think it would make a difference. All the other people (10 of them) utilizing the snow didnt speak english so I assume they were the J1 emplyees enjoying their perks. Your probably better off at Blue this weekend for terrain availability though.

Probably, although I have had department heads tell me early in the season that it is huge for them to get positive surveys as corporate considers a 9 a zero and bases raises and employee performance off them. Comment box with specific experiences towards employees apparently results in a net positive for said employees. They appreciate them being filled out when we are satisfied and I do when I am in hope it helps some core employees benefit.

Nah but makes more sense to let corporate see it then to get annoyed at minimum wage workers in Live chat or otherwise at the facility who have no control over it and are probably upset themselves with reduced hours so early.

Already dug all the emails out of trash folder and voted 1s down the line with "Closing midweek starting first week of March is unacceptable. Understandable closing on days of heavy rain but otherwise is not acceptable." In every single comment box 🤣

Yeah bares spots, brown spots and puddles. Dont see a problem though, dont we all have rock boards/skis and wet mud and grass still slides if you lean back. I see no problems.

Exactly, super low in spots but would have been totally enjoyable this week and not made a difference on this weekends conditions.

It's been good for what it is. Blue has more coverage but Camel must be farming snow to keep the thin areas covered each night because some runouts are extremely thin. Clearly spinning the lifts at an operating expense loss but I think they do that as an obligation to hotel guests. They will probably get through this coming week but not sure they'll last much past that. Blue's just preserving snow for profit at this point with no regard for passholders with midweek ending this early. They know they have us by the balls and they make their money on the ticket purchasers who also spend additional money around the property. If they gave us this week and next week I wouldnt be upset at all. I dont melt in the rain traffic is always at a minimum, really wouldnt damage the snow pack preservation efforts much.

I don't cut my nose to spite my face. My lone $900 makes no difference to them. Obviously but how often is the midweek stuff done on the first week of March with full coverage of the mountain?

It is, was there yesterday. Not sure how much longer they will last they cut snowmaking for the season stripping all hoses off the mountain earlier than ever this year. They also announced for god knows what reason closing the Stevenson and Sunbowl at 3pm today and only running the 6 which a lot of trails are closed on that side.

Not positive, that's whats going around FB groups. My friend talked to live chat which confirmed no more midweek to preserve for weekends unless they can make snow. I'm livid.

So is Shawnee.... Fuck KSL.

Live chat said midweek operations is done "to preserve snow for weekends, unless snowmaking ability returns". This is fucking horse shit!

😠 At least Camel will hold midweek for their hotel guests ugh. March rain is the devil!!

Went for a few laps at The Camel. Lots closed, thin in lower runouts stockpiled around the mad horizontal turns. Hump, Birches, Asp and others were closed. They finally built a couple nice jumps and put in some jibs. They've got a lot of moving snow around the fill in the thin runouts but they should be able to do it. They shouldnt have pulled the houses off the mountain as soon as they did. They may or may not be able to push the 1 or 2 usual weekends past Blue. VID_113110529_220314_889.mp4

Where this come from! Id be so sad with the 2nd half of the month getting older. I understand closing on the rain days but this cant be the last midweek!
