My plan is to wait until April and see if he'll give me a lower price. But if I find a deal online I'll consider it. Go wider than 81. You won't regret it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltyant Posted December 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) Camelback looks pretty empty today, but they moved the webcam so you can't see the lift line. I guess everyone is getting tired of one green run and went to Blue! Can't wait to hear what Ski2Live decided to do.

You would 100% win with BM if you skied weekdays, early mornings, nights or off-peak times. For weekend skiing you chose right where to get your season pass, for you'll always find some empty lifts on CB, like you'll always be in the crowds on Blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Was en route to Blue when I read the horrendous lift line reports and continued down 22 to 33 north. No lines at all at CB. Very nice conditions. Snowing lightly Taking a break with my daughter after 8 runs. Making snow on all but the open trail and they say they expect to have most if not all of the mountain open by sat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I'm torn for next year because I mostly ski Saturdays and Sundays because of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB looks pretty empty, and should be a lot of fun for your daughter. Blue was a madhouse and all 3 liftlines were nuts.

Those dang RFID readers certainly didn't help. I don't know how much it actually matters in the long run, but I have never been to any other resort with RFID readers. Even at Killington they scan your lift pass with a hand-held scanner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
