Completely finished ready for human travel? i will go with no.

Notice the answer isnt just yes, or absolutely? They expect it to be ready. Enjoy your Friday.

Blue just posted a 30 second video on FB about how the new lift is "moving along" The overhead view does put things in a little better prospective.

i turned it on in the Poconos for a bit. Still have the window open at home though. Diggin these cooler nights.

i would be surprised if Blue actually has much to do with this at this point. they are probably along for the ride as we are. Seems like Blue clearing the land for the liftline is innocent enough, but them being liable for actual construction seems unlikely. 1) let someone else assume the risk. 2) have some outside contractor to blame if its not done on time, or some other failure. Sort of wonder if there is a penalty clause with LP for completion by a certain date. With the way things are these days, i would doubt it.

Better yet.....Scrapple Shack!

Waffle shack! i dont know what they are for either. i needed the clarity of the other photo to kind of see what was kind of going on. I still kind of have my mind focused on lift 4 (i think) at Greek Peak, which i find to just be the coolest little weekend/beer drinking type project ever.

Tell them to move somewhere that isnt prone to hurricanes. Seriously, like it kills me when people in the Outer Banks are interviewed after a hurricane fucks their shit up, and they say "this is the third time we have had this happen." So, the thought never crossed your mind building a house on a barrier island might make it kind of likely to sustain damage from storms?

starting to get a visual as to what this will end up looking like. i couldnt really figure out the multiple footings. this is Stowes lift, which is not the same make, but you can get the gist of it a little more.

we have had a slight increase in employees with covey over the past two weeks, where as over the summer it was pretty nil. The 2 most recent were pretty sick.

Why is the waffle hut only open on Saturdays, that have an even numbered day of the month, from 1pm-1:30? Its Blue Mountain.

theres 41 days, but 24 hrs in a day, we still have more than 12 hrs of daylight. which, whenever i look at the Valley cam, theres never much going on before 7, and after 3. But i will give them the benefit of the doubt being a contractor, and go with "they know what they are doing." Maybe right now with concrete curing, there isnt much to do until they can start setting stuff. Curious as to what the top looks like.

if you look at the cam now, its pretty obvious the wall is not busted out. i think they were doing stucco on it. i do agree that photo looks funny, but i think its just lighting and shadows that give it that look.

Its definitely going to be an interesting start to the season if the summit safari super six pack supreme is delayed in opening. Everyone (including myself) is putting a lot of faith in Blue Mountain for completing the lift on time, and it working properly right out of the box. At this point though, i am ready for skiing on whatever, riding what ever lift.

C'mon Blue, get with the program. if JFBB can do it, you can too!
