Laurel Mountain to Reopen
GrilledSteezeSandwich replied to Ride Delaware ?'s topic in Other Mountains
What if you're first chair on a powder day? Years back I was maybe 6th chair on castle rock as I high tailed it from super bravo and waited like a half hour for castle rock to open and I had too to bottom on middle earth untracked. Almost everybody went left down castle rock run and there were two tracks ahead of me on middle earth and I passed those people near the top. Wow that was a sweet run. Most of my best pow days in Vermont were rider of the storm type days. -
How did they close out last season? I don't follow camelback except in situations like this. With these temperatures the camel has such an advantage over blue mountain.

What did they say on Facebook enjorales. Did they say what runs they post on. Just checked there Facebook. No mention of an opening date or what trails they are blowing on. If they get a top to bottom run open I'll go this weekend. Usually about $35-40 there opening day. They don't allow tailgating in the lot but can hit up barly creek afterwards.

Maybe on Friday last few years camelback only opened with their learning Hill. Enjorales you really think Wednesday. Last year camelback opened a day later than Blue. I don't recall a time when any local hills were open on thanksgiving day. Christmas yes for everywhere but blue. Enjorales is wishcasting.

Because hunter has even more lift capacity opening day than blue and more people and rude New Yorkers. Race team generally doesn't start until a week or two after opening day. This year it's December 10th. Last years opening day was on a Monday I believe so no race team. Oh and hunter is 200 miles away while Blue is 18 miles so if both are crowded at least I didn't spend 6-7 hours worth of driving for hunter.

New Lift Ticket Pricing Model

Yup blue caters to rich philly, jersey and Lehigh valley people. Totally different demographic to montage. -
If you don't mind an overnight okemo should have several runs open this weekend. They usually do a canned food day thanksgiving weekend as well with discounted lift tickets with a can of food. Think that was usually on Sunday. Sorry okemo a food bank day is December 4th. $39 lift tickets with a can of food.

New Lift Ticket Pricing Model
GrilledSteezeSandwich replied to Ski2Live Live2Ski's topic in Montage Mountain
They're definitely gonna lose business cause of this as people who paid $27 before aren't gonna want to pay $50-$60 for lift tickets. Blue did away with their morning passes a few years ago as well. -

You only went to montage once last year and zero times the year before but three times three years ago. I'm surprised you drive all the way to montage from south jersey when Blue is like an hour closer and the Catskills are pretty equidistant. -

I skied them in college back when there was like an 80" base. Was one of those 350" seasons. I've only skied Jay peak about five times. I always preferred the terrain better at Stowe and the fact that all the trees at Jay are on the trail map made them into rutted up mogul fields.
