All this would be solved if Ray tuthill was brought back during the Resurrection..Bruce as well. We’d have 730am weekend openings, no closing during rain, twice daily grooming and Rays grill on skis would be back.

That’s a low end model..$58k or something lol

Two doubles is a similar amount of lift capacity to one high speed quad. It goes double as fast but the chairs are also spaced double as far apart so still a chair every 7 seconds or so. Dumping more people on Main Street is a good thing. Spreads out the traffic. I know you bumpers use Main Street regularly but most don’t use it much.

Yup Nazareth Jays BMW was there a few weeks ago and that’s way over $100k

What’s the deal with the cinderblock lodge and tent city?? They don’t even have ski racks anymore outside the bathroom entrance.

Would be nice to see a high speed lift replace the Burma and Main Street chairs..about time for the quad to be replaced as well.

Fucking poors.

Thanks Root I was getting tired of all the speculation at least you bring solid anecdotal evidence to the table. The new queue set up is MSY. Mad steezy yo.

There’s Mercedes and Lexus SUVs galore on every weekend day..

$90 sounds good to me and most of the day ticket folks can afford that seeing all the $100,000 SUVs

Vail likes to buy smaller regional resorts because they use them as feeder hills to get people to visit their flagship resorts. Vail owns Afton Alps in Minnesota, Afton Alps Michigan, Wilmot Wisconsin and even Okemo. Blue is also within 100 miles from the wealthiest area in the country..namely the state of New Jersey, NYC and the philly suburbs.

When is the hut trip? I know you guys are supposed to get quite a bit of snow around Wednesday.

Are you talking about yourself in the third person?

How often do you go with just one?? Doesn’t sound like they got their dads tall genetics.

I heard they flew Jimmy Buffett in for a private concert in the tubing tent. Margaritaville and cheeseburger in paradise were performed including the remix with Ja Rule

Sure if you count the change. Im guessing mid 8 figures. Then with vails money Blue can build a nice valley lodge, water park and hotel. Ski2Live is probably hoping for more glades along with a 7th grade pass for $99

And many more hours riding chairlifts at jackhole frost

If Vail buys blue likely parking attendants, employee uniforms(sorry no Grateful Dead T-shirt’s for liftees), VIP lane is a blue phenomenon so probably death to that..perhaps 9am opening on weekdays and 830am on weekends, pay parking, I don’t see bigger crowds happening. Everybody who wants to ski Blue is already there and they only have so much capacity. I really hope Barb consults with some of the core Blue passholders like me, Atomic Jeff, Root and Salty before making the big decision.

OMG..

The rumor mill is mentioning Vail purchasing Blue mountain. Tim Oswald is a good source for info when he’s not skiing down with both poles in one hand.

I think 15 minutes is an exaggeration but figure its 5 minutes. Let’s say 15 times a year. That’s 75 minutes to save $200 or something...not to shabby. I’d rather have $200 vaporize from my bank account than stand in a ticket line 15 times for 5 minutes.

I would be fucking pissed of if I was the twin who didn’t get the season pass and had to use other twins or dads buddy pass like a Jerry.

Would it piss one of the kids off to not be a passholder? Would this require going to ticket office prior to skiing each time.

Sounds like they’d also know about good taco spots..I approve.
