    Yeah planning on using my days at shawnee and montage, and Greek Peak also.  Probably do a long weekend in VT also 

    Those are my three definite stops for using both days. Anything beyond that is a bonus and I'll have to see what I'm able to accomplish. Long weekend in VT sounds nice and I'm sure some of the other Indy Passers here might be interested... maybe?

    Staying slopeside at Saddleback Wednesday night and Thursday night.   If anyone is interested, let me know. 

    Thinking Berkshire east tomorrow, maybe Burke Wednesday, and saddleback Thursday and Friday 

    TFTI. As temps start trending colder here I'm hoping to actually put this pass to use. I need to at least get some uphill days at Shawnee soon. Hoping @JFskiDan can join for one midweek.

    Pass holders should at least get a "replacement credit" on their account for every year they haven't needed a mid-season replacement. 

    Or, just don't charge $20 to your loyal customers for a card that costs pennies.

    I’m sure you’ll be able to use this one for a few more years until they start just microchipping us..

    I already got my microchip when I was vaccinated for Covid.

    I’m still on my 40th anniversary pass.  Feel like I’m owed a new one at this point lol

    Same. I don't want to use a different one. This one is golden and baller AF.

    Winter might show up next week. Or it might not. 
    the buoy is bouncing around for like next fri-sat. Not sure how reliable it is now that they flushed the dirty diapers out of it though. 

    I saw the same thing. Not sure about the buoy. It usually has some trouble with accuracy until the first storm really hits, but maybe this will be the one that kicks it into gear.

    I miss the carny trucks with fried oreos. The og valley lodge I remember being way different than now. 

    The old lodge that was basically wood floors on top of mud and smelled of sewage often. Good times.

    Back at 550 with @Dirtwolf in the house. Crowd was semi still there but most were headed to the exit. The usual slick spots with sugar piles but a pleasant evening with no lines. The kid accomplished her first black diamond with a full Raceway run and now she’s calling for doubles 😂 

    Beer in the lot and JADIP until tomorrow night.

    Got it. Thx. You can't see it from the road can you?

     

    I don't think so. I stumbled into their back yard on a return skin trip from the gasoline a few years back but I think it sits back a bit from the road. Honestly I never really looked, but after driving by there so many times over my life I feel like I would have noticed it by now if you could.

      i have been having quite a productive PASR morning at work.  Curzi's is/was a pretty neat place actually.  I dont find it neat enough that they have to go renaming a trail after it though.

    If you leave the lower parking lot, and start to head up BM drive, the first driveway you come to would be the access to the property.  I would say you cant see the cabin from the road.  i think it was like 10 acres, and it really did sit in the middle of a huge amount of land BMR Resorts owned.  So, yeah, If Blue Mt wants to use across the street for tubing eventually, they got off pretty easy with just having to name a run after the guy in order for them to sell it to Blue.  I cant find what the property actually sold for, records show it was transfered to Blue for $1.  nobody is that nice that they would trade some property for a named ski run.  

    They own an impressive amount across the street.  At least 230 acres.  From the entrance of the parking lot across the street, the rear property line is about 3,800' back.  It appears they own the land they use for the Carbon County Fair, and this is propably the LZ (off Little Gap Rd) when they cant use the lot across the street.  

    For those in the discussion as to how much land BMR owns on the other side of Freeballing, its roughly 2,900'.  And for those wondering how much expansion that may be compared to what is currently "Blue Mountain", Blue is basically 4,419' wide, trail wise.  like from the outermost point of Burma, to Para/Freeballing intersection.

    Also, the new lift appears to span a distance of 4,257'.  The OG6 is 4,141.  Quad is 4,414.  

    This reminds me of the maps that @Benm and I put together of land ownership. I can't find them at the moment...

    Thanks for sharing that. It would be cool if they had a sign or something about why it is called that... or at least something on their site. Pretty cool story and hopefully they don't just bulldoze that place now that they own it.
