GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) On Friday at 10am Blue mountain is trying to put together the worlds largest ski and snowboard lesson for the Guinness book of world records. It's stupid. First 100 people to sign up get $10 lift ticket, lesson and rental package. Sounds like a great way to learn...not Edited January 5, 2016 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Shit I might be there Only $38 Lots of areas are participating in this. It is not just a Blue thing. It's stupid. How much can you learn with 100+ people in a lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 $30 at night regular rate, so hopefully discounted from that Have fun mr. dedication. Blue is as much as I'll slum it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I learned to ski at Spring as did my kids. It is a great local place for that in Montgomery County. There is one interesting narrow trail on the far skiers left that opens up only with natural snow.

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 It's stupid. How much can you learn with 100+ people in a lesson. I expect they will have lots of instructors and divide people up into groups of the same size as every other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I expect they will have lots of instructors and divide people up into groups of the same size as every other day. Then how will they get a world record for largest lesson??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Then how will they get a world record for largest lesson???It is 160 ski areas (including Blue Shawnee Alpine & CB in Eastern PA) banding together to try to say they are having the world's largest lesson based on all the lessons being done simultaneously. Really a PR stunt that makes for lots of ski areas offering really cheap lessons on one day to fill their areas on a Friday and introduce new people to the sport. Currently there is no record for multi-site simultaneous lessons and there is a 500 person record for simultaneous learners at one site (which one site could beat cpnceivably this day, in addition to participating in setting multi-site record) Learntoskiandsnowboard.org Edited January 5, 2016 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Might consider skiing in the rain if I was staying at a mountain and had paid for a multi day ticket. Will not drive hours to pay for the privilege. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 The best days are the ones when there is a chance of rain and it either just rains a little bit of the rain never happens.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Yay for chute and lazy mile. Now blow on home stretch. Can't wait to read Facebook comments. Good now Blue will be able to charge full price and make some Johnny cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 People are pissed about the price in the comments. If they would have bought a season pass like I did, they wouldn't have that problem I guy I know just bought his pass yesterday. They finally shut the guns off on lower Main Street. Ok time to blast homestretch please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'll never understand the not buying a season pass thing. For some people, skiing is just a couple time a year activity and others don't wanna only go to the same place. My Montana friend is insane. He said he'll see how the season starts out and then decide if he's gonna get a pass or not which means he won't get a pass and go like five days.

poconoceancity Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I should of added for people who plan to get at least 10 days in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
