It seems like they continue to raise the price every year and still be crowded A.F. every weekend. That's good business. I wouldn't be skiing much if not for the season pass.

Imagine like even a family of 4, renting and eating, that's 400$ to ski marbles on three trails lol First run was 529 for me so I dont care but it does make me laugh I was telling bar owner friend that Blue mountain takes in like $1 million on their biggest days. He didn’t believe it and I said they get like 12,000 people and if 10,000 of them spend an average of $100 each that’s a million. Shit with rentals, lessons and food $100 is on the low side for many.

Yeah a season pass is the only way to ski a lot or be one of Ski2Lives twins which comes with a few perks like a $5 allowance and 1/2 a cocoa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A day at blue (or anywhere in the poconos at the same price point) would cost me $100+ in just a lift ticket and gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why it only makes sense to have a season pass. An average day at Blue costs me about $15. $10 in beer and $5 for McDonald’s breakfast on the way up. Company pays for my gas...

That's good business. I wouldn't be skiing much if not for the season pass. The $70 daily lift pass once lazy mile opens makes a season pass a no brainer. I’m happy to give Blue that season pass $$$ ahead of time it’s good for their cashflow.

The game plan is to blast "Best Around" from my bluetooth speaker whilst passing Atomic halfway down Lazy Mile, and then maybe Ski2Live's Christmas song on the last run (aka 3rd time down).
