Snow was pretty good and crowds were pretty light from open until around 11:30 or so when it started to get packed. Fun little park setup but with all the people hiking it got annoying by mid day to lap through there. Took a break from around 12:30 - 2:30 for a liquid lunch and then headed back out for a few runs to finish the day on Sat. Then did a quick open to 11 session on Sunday before heading back. Definitely worth the drive to get on the snow. Legs felt great and got my new setups dialed in. Looks like they will be getting more terrain open in the next few days / week. I would recommend it if you can't wait for local spots to open.

id like to go back to BC for old time's sake, since its where i learned to snowboard and ive had multiple passes there, but i cant justify paying $50-$60 to go to BC.
You could always drop $130 for a day at Blue.

I'm heading up sunday. Hoping for top to bottom. They have the forecast for it
Use the 2 for 1 if you are going with anyone.
-
Worth the drive? Site says they are planning on being T2B this weekend so I might cut out of work early and head up this afternoon.
-
Nah cause they only sell a 6 hour ticket and I wanna ski 7 hours.
Who are you kidding...everyone knows you can't ski that long.

Pack a lunch and stay out of the bar lol. Ski from 9-3..what's the big deal.
No.
The big deal is I like to ride more than six hours and I'm not paying $110 to do it at Blue...its pretty simple really.
-
Burton71 I thought u were rich and isn't six hours enough time for Blue? I'd think with slumming it at bear creek you'd hit Blue every chance you got.
Some days its enough...others it isn't. I wouldn't say I'm rich but I do OK for myself...mostly by not paying double the price for what things are worth.
I usually hit up Blue once or twice a season for a mid week open until about 5pm session and then once or twice for weekend morning sessions before the stupid crowds show up. I'll probably hit the weekend sessions but the mid week is out at the price they want. $110 + lunch and bar tab would probably be close to my season pass price...fuck that.
-
Not that I would ever ski more, but I really don't see what they gain by limiting people to 6 hours. If anything it will get people to spend less time taking a break to eat and drink, which is not in their interest.
Yep, its a pretty damn stupid step up they way they have it.
If they were smart they would have an all day pass for a reasonable price and then a flex 4 or 6 hour pass to use whenever you want.
Probably going to scratch Blue off the list this year unless I score some vouchers. Definitely not going to pay $110 for a mid week day trip.
-
It's an option..then they get 12 hours of skiing in.
Yeah at double the price it used to be and every where else. Fuck them.
-
Can't they just buy a second 6 hour pass?
So to ride all day on a weekend its going to run $130...LOL fuck that.
-
Sounds lame. I just want to pay once and ride all I want. This is like Freemium or whatever. Want to keep riding? buy more penis coins.
Yep. Seems pretty shitty for people who ride all day.
-
Skiing till 10am has nothing to do with being in shape. It's when the crowds and conditions get bad on busy weekend days at blue. Honestly nowhere else but on PASR do people put down fat people. When I'm at karaoke or out and about in Allentown I am
Well liked by everybody. burton71 I don't even know what u look like all I know
Is that you are wealthy like most PASRs and cheap like most PASRs.
Congrats on being liked in Allentown...I'm sure that is quite the accomplishment.
And I'm the least cheap person I know.

HMR, KMFL.
(happy meals rule, kids menu for life)
Keeps me in shape so I can ride past 10 am.

I had to look that up. Fixed that for you for the non old farts and sandy vaginas who don't know loser slang.
Wow just wow, AYSOS?
-
you guys sound like a bunch of out of shape, old farts
FTFY.

One of the best dedicated park trails in PA... Or so I've heard...
You've heard wrong.
-
Wait why would people mount skis intoxicated? Why not just look at poop pictures first.
Why would you want to do it without drinking?
And your infatuation with poop is mildly disturbing but not unsurprising.
-
I'm about ready to have a ski mounting party follow by beers.
Followed by? I think this might be an order of operations error.

Super expensive for last years model used pants.
Not really. New left overs are going for $280-$300. Used are going for what I have them listed at.
-
These are last seasons AK Swash pants in Monoxide color, size large. Only wore them 2 times, they are in excellent shape. This is a stock picture but I can get an actual picture if anyone wants it.
$360 new, asking $220 OBO.
-
i guess waiting in a lift line for an hour to ski a 400-vert run can loosely be considered skiing.
Its like a weekend at Blue.

Just curious, why would you want a loan that long? I get it when your interest rate is 0, but if it's not, and you've got the money, why not just own it outright? I had a good interest rate on my subi, with a 5 year loan, but by putting half down and paying more than the minimum each month, I paid it off in 3 years and saved about 3k by doing so over the life of the loan.
With stupid low car loan interest rates your money is better off invested in something else at an easily much higher return.

I've driven a bunch of stuff over the last 10 days and here's my short list:
2014 Dodge Durango RT and Citadel
2015 Ford Explorer Sport
2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit and Overland
2015 MB ML 350
All are in the 50-65K range and have adaptive cruise control, navigation and rear entertainment. I'm leaning towards the Jeep. It's the sportiest and probably would go through deep water, snow and over curbs the best.
Out of those go with the Jeep unless you need a 3rd row then go with the Ford.
Maybe check out the MDX if you haven't yet. Excellent reliability and tech with a bunch of room inside and drives like car.
