    Is Wyndham the Catskill mountain you are thinking of?  I wouldn't be surprised to see them come off the Ikon pass since they are doing the private club thing.  I heard it was impossible to get an Ikon reservation there this year.  

    i think thats a solid bet that Wyndham CC is off the Ikon for next year.

    Skiing's definitely not the profit center, but the motivator to bring people to the mountain where they've got (most) people captive in terms of food and beverage sales, where the real margins can be made.   Skiing is definitely a loss leader for the mountains, but tubing on the other hand...

    right.  F&B wont make money if there is no skiing or tubing.

    There is discussion of a possible discount on the Ikon Base pass for all access Blue and Canelback pass holders.  We'll find out officially when Ikon drops the 24/25 news.  I am grabbing one.

    Where is this discussion being held?

  4. i feel like Ski resorts being sold is like the worst kept secret ever, so if it was true, we would know more.  Personally i think its just a rumor.  

     

    Did you guys hear that Blue Mt was going to expand the paid parking to include a free car wash?

    Got a text message about it about an hour ago

    And it sort of looks as though we can do the payment plan as well, i didnt see where doing the payment plan would retract the GC.

    I think you didn't get the $50 gift card if you chose the payment plan

    That isnt a horrible trade off, at least for me.  every bit of insurance i have, Taxes, season passes, septic pump outs, etc come due in March.  I spend money in March like its going out of style.

    I actually did the payment plan last year. Not a huge upfront spend which was nice. 

    was that an option for the early bird?  im a fan of payments with no penalty.  Indy pass does it.....its like $35 a month.

    What a fun, fun day. Took me 2 1/2 hours to get there, but so worth it. Most of the problems on 309 and 78. Everything bumped up, no crowds. They even had a demo day going! 

     

     

    I chatted with a few people that said 309 was a problem. I didnt have problems until the sheetz on 145, cars sliding and couldnt get going at the light. Then i got behind a box truck that shouldnt have been out on the roads. Then behind a line of cars, and for some reason we had to stop on a hill to watch some guy make love to the embankment in the other lane, kinda did a dicey pass there to get around those. No traffic for me going up blue mt drive. 
    oh, and i learned the demo day thing was buckmans employees only.

    How much snow did they officially get? 

    I would say their claims of a foot are valid, based on what i walked through to get to the quad.

  10. I would like to give Blue a little credit today. They had employees there, and both lifts loaded basically on time. 
     

    i dont think they fucked anything up today. Nice work Blue!

    The fact that you're still skiing is a good sign...unless you got there late?

    3rd chair. Suns out now. Lines are growing a touch. I think i earned some burger king or something.
