  1. That sounds to me like undercutting Blue. Blue provides jobs to hundreds of people and it's wrong for Employees to take away from Blues ticket sales by selling these vouchers. Trimreaper shame on you for publicly posting this.

     

    Barb didnt answer her phone, know she reads this and would nab them this weekend. I agree it is wrong.

  2. Is it just me or does it seem like the snow is melting awful fast?

    Last few time I've been up it's been like skiing on mashed potatoes! The snow has been really dirty and (correct me if I'm mistaken) they haven't blown any real amount of snow in about a month.

    I have a feeling that if they don't make a move soon we are going to have an early close.(this would suck!!!)

    Relax Cadillac.. There is plenty of snow to make it to the 21st. Why would Blue stay open for a few weeks for us season pass holders? Maybe they will do you a favor and keep the Big Air Bag open , that's the only thing you use at Blue anyway... besides the free wifi.

  3. Interesting. You used an IP back in 2008 when you created this "Method" account, and haven't used that IP associated since. But when I ran a search on that same IP, 287 posts on PASR popped up that were associated with another [banned] account. Anyone care to guess who "Method" really is?

    I think Method is Barb Green.

  4. Maybe a buck or two more that $5.50/hr..by ass kicked do you mean called into the principals office(Jim Daily??)...seems unfair since I thought smoking on the job was one of the perks of being a Blue mountain liftee. Just a few years ago..smoking was allowed in the cafeteria..pretty soon the entire mountain will go smokefree but I'm sure 14 year old kids will still smoke that first cigarette while riding the Poconos coldest 6-pack...enroute to some of the gnarliest double diamonds within 12 miles of sheetz..

     

    It's supply and demand..with the free season pass and other employee perks..just like Dorney Park or jobs at the beach..Do you guys have anything good to say about Blue mountain??? Aside from the lack of twice daily grooming..I think they are headed in the right direction..next..park passes!!!!

    Ass kicked as in one punch knock out.

     

    Steeze and Jeff need to use thier in at Blue to get the afternoon groomng back. They have to be making enough dough this year to spend a few $ to send out some groomers at 3:00.

  5. Times two for some reason I thought cadillac was a blue employee

    He's angry, hates Blue Mountain and thinks Barb Green is a chain smoking skank..........sounds like a Blue Mountain employee to me.

  6. Did anybody catch the Blue Mountain Infomercial. It was called PA Big Mountains. Funny as hell the only time I've ever seen worse acting was on the Ski Patrol Show. And the same guy was in it and the still didn't dye his F'n hair.

     

    The best part was the black haired girl (has to be a employee there because her acting was awful) talked about "how she likes A Big Mountain" Kinda looked like the beginning scene of a porno.

     

    It's a must watch. Funny as Hell!!!!!!!!!

    It is funny. Uh,,,Uh,,,,Uh......Someone send Uh Jim to a learn how to UH speak in front of a Uh camera course.Uh...

  7. HA Same here...i live right between boulder and blue...Blue just keeps pissing all of us locals off with this shit..I used to work lifts @ Blue and the lift inspection thing is just a joke..Even if they were "inspecting" the lifts they could open Saturday..why wait a whole week? Whatever I will just utilize my JFBB pass. i understand they wanna open and have a lot of terrain open at once..but look at the $ they are losing.

    Blue's self inspection might be a joke, but the state inspection is no joke. And since no one at Blue remembered to call and get the lifts inspected, they cant open til the inspection is complete. The inspector will be there the 16th.

  8. Thats just absurd.

    Even if this month they renewed a hundred lockers and collected $11,000, you really think that

    compares to the working capital they made selling 300,000 $40 lift tickets last year?

     

    They are just doing a good job kicking off the season right and calling the season pass holders who got on the list.

    When that money is gone and you're negotiating payment terms with your suppliers and contractors and meeting payroll off a line of credit, yes, $11,000 is alot of money.

  9. The lockers ARE hard to come by if you wait until ski season to get one.

    I couldn't get a locker at the end of the ski season last year because they were all

    taken so they put me on a waiting list and said they would call me next season.

    I was real surprised getting the call now so early before the season started.

    That says to me that Blue is really on the ball and looking to get us hooked up right this year.

     

    Says to me that Blue needs the $110.

    Man, I wish I could cue the voice of the PA annoucer from the Jordan-era Bulls for this one. So, use your imagination...

     

    Because Thanksgiving seems like a lifetime ago, The Camel and I thought we'd take this opportunity to remind you just how significant this season has been -- and we ain't talking nothin', but what really, really matters most to skiers and riders.

     

    Right now, Camelback is poised to hang a banner - you know - like after a championship season. Camelback is just days away from posting a legitimate record that has truly been nearly a half-century in the making:

     

    LONGEST SEASON EVER.

     

    By the end of next week, Camelback should record its 123rd day of operation for the 2008-2009 season--surpassing a mark that has stood for almost two decades. To get back to the third longest season, we'd have to go back to the Carter Administration; heck, that's almost as long as Bill Toye and his marauding gang of master snowmakers have been commanding the snowguns and plummeting the hill with the white and fluffy kindness.

     

    Not to overwhelm you with numbers, but here's one more stat to throw into your fantasy-league...if all things continue as planned, this season will become the tenth season in our history that has stretched into April.

     

    You can do the math yourself...if you were a passholder, that's about the cost of a double-skinny latte per day -- not too shabby, particulary these days. If you weren't a passholder, maybe you want to think about giving up the caramel macchiato, start brewing your own coffee again and get in on enjoying 120+ days of skiing and riding. At four and change a day, that's some nice ROI.
