Pioneer pass is the old access road located above Easy Out that you can access from the skiers right of the Vista Lift exit. http://www.skibluemt.com/SkiBlue/info/mountain/interactivemap.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switchsideskier. Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Pioneer Pass is very flat, I used to ski down it before on a powder day, give them props for opening it up, all they gotta do is open up old burma to add another trail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switchsideskier. Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hard to figure that out from the map. The regular trail map sucks at explaining that, but the interactive trail map makes it a little more obvious but still messed up,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidecker Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Anyone remember when midway branched off to Burma before they closed off the bypass? Mad collisions. Edited December 7, 2010 by Nidecker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switchsideskier. Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Anyone remember when midway branched off to Burma before they closed off the bypass? Mad collisions. Yes! Those were the days, back in the 90's. Ski Patrol was having mad fun back then I remember having rails at the lower end of tuts lane, upper and lower switchback accessible via main street, a very narrow main street, old burma, the old valley lodge with trailer bathrooms and the 30 min Challenge Chair Ride oh and the T bar lift.

Nidecker Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Man, people steezin out the gaper tuck on midway to decide to take Burma and plow over a 6 yr old on a leash with daddy.. Bad news. Almost as bad as the 4 way Intersection at sidewinder, lazy and lower sidewinder meet up called gapers mishap. I was wrecked hard two years ago coming off sidewinder making a right to shoot down falls and I get plowed from behind and thrown a good 13 feet.

Switchsideskier. Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Ya people are nuts anymore. I think eventually they will tree off that intersection and make it so you gotta take lazy all the way down, or if you are on sidewinder take lower sidewinder down. Although you won't be able to access the Main Street chair via Sidewinder it would probably work out for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you won't be able to access the Main Street chair via Sidewinder it would probably work out for the best. Or how about some fencing that you have to weave through at slow sleeps in order to prevent collisions. After the sharp right-hander on lazy, i'd like to see a "lanes split" sign. An express lane for those of us going over to Falls/lower sidewinder, and those making the left hand turn. I hate the jackasses who go wide right and then cut down into Lazy.

millerm277 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 While it's not like I spend any time over there other than getting to/from the Summit Lodge for food occasionally, it's probably not a bad move. If it'll draw some of the beginners off Easy Out, it'd help traffic over in the area, there's too many of them for the width of the trail normally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switchsideskier. Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) The ride up the challenge chair was like 10-11 minutes.. During the week, weekends was long lol. I remember the 94 season. That was my first season and the comet was a beauty the good ole days of Blue... I miss Dennis Krell SR, not Jr., and Dales Concessions (Deep Fried Oreos) and when the Main Street Chair was black, and when they scanned your ticket, and Lawn the asian lady in the top lodge.

Switchsideskier. Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Pioneer Pass in itself, is a new learning trail that is intended to teach children 12 and under, skiing/boarding skills. Why don't they just make Easy Out a non slow skiing trail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should make a connector between Dreamweaver/Razors/Challenge. + 1 for Connector Dos and +2 for Upper and Lower Razors/Challenge.
