GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hey All, im back from day two of the Blue mountain ski season. I arrived at the upper lodge at 7:20am made amazing time they forgot my hash brown at McDonald's but sausage biscuit was on fleek. In the house were Atomic Jeff, JFDan, PARidge, MBike Mike, Nastar Glenn, Matt Edge, Ryan, Enjorales, Enjorales Dad and many others. I got my pass straightened out and now keep pass in left arm pocket thanks to Roots advice..then no more hokey pokey in the liftline. I think I was second chair today..slacking lol snow was good lipstick on a pig on midway which got spicy and rowdy right quick. Lower Main Street was ok come around is deep and busy and vista had nice cord. Crowds were lighter than yesterday at least the first two others. Shorter ticket lines for sure as well. I think a lot of people who were out yesterday weren't out today. There was an inversion with the temperature already in the mid 30s at the top lot and in the mid 20s in the valley. Guns were blowing down low initially. It was windier than yesterday but not bad. Good parking lot beers today and good snacks with chips, pretzels and jerky. JADIP just another day in paradise. I'll be back out tomorrow. Anybody else?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Less people today which was nice. Midway got kinda rowdy. Overall still lots of fun. Planned on a night sesh tomorrow but closing at 4 now. See everyone next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking out for ya. Watching Jeff doing the shimmy shake shake to get the gates to open was worth the cost of the season pass 2X. Rest of the season is gravy.

RootDKJ Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Oh FYI Blue is closing at 4pm tomorrow. Slopeside will be open to 9p. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltyant Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Any predictions for next weekend? Doesnt look like there will be many opportunities for snowmaking this week. Hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, I'd like to get out again next weekend. I don't see Camelback opening for at least 2 weeks, maybe longer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltyant Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 The lights are on at Camelback. They might start blowing a couple snowflakes. Looks promising!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant use my $399 CB season pass, so I need to dish out $40 per weekend at Blue for the foreseeable future. Which is why I'll be getting a Blue pass next season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine, but Camelback is going to open before Blue next season and will be closed on every other weekday that TP4 has off. Its just the way things work. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Camelback will stay open well into April to make up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Saltyant if it makes you feel better there were days when Blue closed at the end of March last year and CB was open. I actually purchased a lift ticket at CB that last week in March last season because Blue was closed. I wasn't thrilled but that's how it goes. I'm sure you'll get your days in. My advice... see how it goes then decide where you want to purchase your pass in the spring. You may find that CB suits your needs. For me skiing around roller coasters and waterslides isn't necessarily my bag but to each their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll come around later in the season. Edited November 28, 2017 by saltyant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
