    I would have to say yes it still is.  Simply because it's a short drive to get some turns in as often as possible.  

    I can not deny I would prefer to be riding pretty much anything in the Catskills on any given day over Blue but that's an additions 2.25hrs behind the wheel one way in the least.

    As has been said we're dealing with the sugar because it's just what ya get when it gets cold enough at night but not cold enough for the guns to condition the surface.  Blue is just in the worst snowmaking location compared to JFBB, Elk and Camelback.  For example with it being colder up this way Camelback actually had the guns on Nile Mile last night.  The sugar will be gone as soon as Blue can light up again! 

    Happy New Year!  Let 2024 bring on winter for all of us! 

    I do, but hardly anymore to be honest. A lap through and a couple board slides and hop on downrails and im good. I have no desire to "progress" or learn anything new. Keeping it as safe and low risk as possible.

    Following your posts and seeing your desire to get back into the park and progress has been awesome though. Keep it up brotha!

    Question to the touring peeps...Do hybrid bindings get mounted in the marked sweet spot?

    Next..Should I trust  trust Blue to mount these correctly?

    Could only get them with 110 brakes so I hope they can tweek them in a little....

    I really have no legit reason to own these ......

    Lots of new things going on this summer- repaving parking lot, multiple new HVAC rooftop units, new maintenance building for maintaining groomers etc, new water making piping for main face, new electric for lighting on some trails, and best of all, at least one trailer full of new snow making machines! Think snow!

    Awesome!! 

  4. I find it odd that Blue and Camel aren't unlimited visits. I wonder (hope) that changes next year. 

    Hell, even If I could do 7 days at both Blue and Camelback id probably do it. 14 days at Blue and CBK plus 2/3 trips up north/west its worth it. I dont need to ride Blue 20 times if I have other options.

    Awesome.  For the price and the price of day tickets + parking these days I think it's a good value as an addition.  Plenty of reasons to utilize the option the 3 or 4 times and get more than the ticket value.

    For sure. Another option would be great as this thought often goes through my mind…

    I had such a good time I called Blue today to add the $263 CBK addition to my Blue Pass. 

    I figure it gives me more terrain park terrain to train on, weekend First tracks for any powder days and the potential for earlier and or later season days. I only have to use it 3 or 4 times to get the value out of it and CBK is 18 minutes away.  Blue The True will forver be my new PA home base now though.

    I might do the same. Its the same drive for me as Blue and even when I was there on a mid winter crowded weekend it wasnt that bad. If I had a season pass I would've happily bounced and been happy with my day after 2 hours before it got really crowded.

  7. I was there for a very brief 8 runs. Was contemplating a few more only to come down to the quad broken down and a MASSIVE line for ME6. 
     

    2 runs earlier I rode the quad and it stopped twice for extended periods of time. Both times when it started back up it had that slipping feeling so I wasnt surprised to see it closed.

  8. The local weather might've sucked but the PASRs got the goods this year on their trips!

    @PSUFly up north and out in Utah. All the crew is Jackson. @NMSKI in Zona. @mbike-ski up north. @indiggio out in western Canada. @Schif and @skiincy in CO and @momskeeztoo in Whitefish. and its looks like @RidgeRacer is in for some weather in AZ this weekend.

    Honorable mention to @DiMe at Elk, which is the vermont of PA. lmao

    Hell of a run by blue this season.  Tip my cap to them

     

    As for camelback, they have a track record of announcing these things and then back tracking.  $60 plus parking for April tickets 

    They did this exact thing last year or the year before, I forget which. I left Blue expecting another day riding the following weekend only to be disappointed.
