Indeed! 40-50' days are one thing, 62, 66, 69, 64 days are gonna put a real hurt on what's left.
May be down to just NW/DW & Razors, Easy Out & Vista.I dont want to like this post, but yeah, its gonna be super interesting this weekend. The glacial headwall on CS will probably be around in June, but the top is gonna take a huge hit this week. Im watching that spot on main street by switch just getting bigger and bigger today.

They sold the whole place for $412k back in 2015ish.
PASR could float that. We can all pitch in for the down payment. The owners were bikers who wanted to turn the place into a biker hangout but it never happened. Maybe they're looking to sell.
Thats why im somewhat interested in the place. Im super jealous of the owners. that place was a steal, no mater what was on the property.

No because RT has twice the vertical of Alpine and RT's Upper Gunbarrel (and arguably Upper Ramrod) are more challenging than anything at Blue.
Like Frost if it only had the runs from Lehigh through River Run, had no trees, and had a bit less vertical
Directly from RT website.
And from DC Ski

You didnt miss much. Went there when kids just starting out as it was on PS&R card. Their blacks were no more challenging than Burma Rd and had less vertical.
so pretty much Roundtop East?

I just received a text from Blue that they made snow on 11 trails.
i feel like the trail count went up overnight. i dont remember skiing 11 trails yesterday.
Did they mention one of those trails is in Danielsville? cause, you know, it was a little windy last night.

Appreciate this! I had no idea. 100% getting an Ikon pass next year.
did you renew Indy? my second year of indy and i still have yet to make it pay out. Indy is such a good deal, but i cant justify it again.

I was wondering why they aren’t blowing on lower main where they need it but on vista and the horseshoe where coverage is good.
i think that would require them running a compressor. Nobody would see the compressor running, so it doesnt add to the show.
Kudos for turning some stuff on, im sure it will go a long way on the FB, but they are just fighting the weather, and the weather is going to always win. i work in a very weather dependent business, and i learned this a long time ago.

Pond skimming is March 17th. We are under a flood watch today. And its going to be a little warm next week.
Closing March 17th. It makes no sense to make snow after the 17th. Its spring. yes, there might be a few hours where they could blow some Blue Mountain Gak, but its too little, too late. Its spring. its only going to get warmer.

Such a negative nancy. If they push all the features on NMDW we can have that on the 23rd & 24th 😇
not really, i just wont mentally drain myself wishing for things to come true when its an unlikely situation. i would rather be surprised than disappointing.
i just dont think they can push snow that far. lower paradise is going to be the problem, not NMDW.

All they'll have next week is NMDW, Razors and Burma. Lazy looks good in the middle so far, but I doubt the bottom part will survive.
I really want skiing to go on forever, but im a realist. NMDW has tons of snow. But paradise will be a problem. Razors has tons of snow until you get to the runout before homie stretch. I guess they can start pushing from the sides. Next weekend it will certainly be “experts only”. Lol.

Challenge was bad this afternoon. Weirdly bad. Razors was super fun. Raceway to midway is spicy. They cut midway in half farming snow on it.
groomers will need to really put that oscilloscope or whatever to good use to keep some trails open.
24th? LOL. yeah, i’ll be the first to say it.

Of course, Side and Switch would have still been open if they didn't waste days of single digits and teens not blowing any snow on them earlier.
Of course, Side and Switch would have still been open if they didn't waste days of blowing on NMDW so they could put features up.
pretty much the same argument.

Have you looked at the webcams this morning? Gonna be interesting this weekend…let’s pray they make next weekend.
If upper main is open this weekend, it will clearly be technical. Cant see much on Side, but i thought that was circling the drain last week as well.

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.

You should really show KSL whats up by getting a pass at Mountain Creek or Shawnee.
At the end of the season, they end midweek stuff. Always. nothing new here.

3/17…
As disappointing as that date is, i would only give like a 15% chance of them being open the 24th. The 17th is circled. major disappointment until that date, and then after that is like WTF. We lost Side, and i would bet other trails will be on life support this weekend. Anyone know the race team schedule?
3/14/24 Even more EMPTY
in Blue Mountain

you are hardcore to drive to Vermont for what is basically Jack Frost North.
