GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) When does everybody think we should have our end of season party? I'm thinking maybe the weekend of 3/10 and 3/11. They will likely stay open a bit later than that but should for sure be open that weekend. Any preference on Saturday over Sunday?? It needs to be a day when Root, NMSki and Enjorales are there. Edited February 25, 2018 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only date I would have a conflict with would be St. Patrick's Day, have to travel to MD for a niece's birthday party that day, so wouldn't be able to hang around. The 18th or the weekend before or after should be clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Saturday. Daylight savings is that weekend so we lose an hour of sleep going into Sunday, and since we get to the lot super early for mimosas, Saturday would be best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of season party is rarely the last weekend of the season because we never know exactly when closing day will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 It's better than conditions were this time last year. Think positive. Have they never made it past an early Easter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check back to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Just now, Shadows said: If they close and then open disc and theres snow still im gonna ski. They'll escort you out. No skiing allowed after the mountain closes. If it was national forest service land it would be fine but it's private property Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also a late snowstorm around that time, and if Blue really wanted, they could ski into May. But they chose not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 The last time they closed the day before Easter was 2008. In 2016 they closed a week before Easter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because last season within a week of closing the snow almost completely vaporized away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Easter is in March they close the day before(Saturday) if possible and if it's in April they don't make it that long. Blue is very predictable. It's easy since it's run by a bunch of Jabronies Edited February 25, 2018 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I dont know what you are thinking of, but no snow in april, no blue mt skiing in may. If Big Boulder can barely pull off mayday, theres no way blue can. We had this exact weather pattern last year, maybe not this warm, this many days, but if that march snow didnt show up, we were gonna be cooked pretty early march. They had to blow snow on homestretch for closing day. Back on topic. Sat March 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of this. It really was a good season come back. Started terrible, then suddenly got a whole lot better, and Blue was sweetening this with a bunch of discount tickets. But then again, the thread's date is March, perhaps I should refresh my memory. It really felt back then that the season suddenly can go on into May.
