Ride Delaware ? Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 True, especially as 1. Not doing PS&R card this year 2. Will be in CO on Xmas Only way I can see hitting CB this year is if they have a longer season in Nov or April. But Blue passes likely only for 1 year while they have 6th grade rate. Camelback has a better climate than Blue, but they never make a push into November except for the occasional terrain park in the tubing park or the tubing park itself. It still amazes me that they don’t push for it to get a jumpstart on filling the hotel for the season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the hotel has actually made that even more so. My prediction is that they will open tubing first again this year. It’s right outside the hotel, and they can sell it to the hotel guests. They had a guess the mountain opening date or something on their Facebook a little bit ago. My guess was “about a week after the tubing hill.” They gave it a like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this. I mean at this point I would really be curious as to what percentage of their revenue even comes from snow operations anymore.

tarponhead Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Decent bump runs need to be seeded in PA as the terrain isn’t steep enough for the bumps to form naturally unless there is a ton of natural snow. There are plenty of great bump runs at mrg on meadow skipping terrain even during lean times. Need competent skiers. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Delaware ? Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I bet under 20%I bet it is low. Although, they could also blow the Nile Mile side first, or at least a trail or two, and have ski in ski out by Thanksgiving. However, all of the revenue streams work together, regardless of how much actually comes from skiing. I wonder what hotel occupancy is? It is a massive hotel...

Blow the Indoor waterpark lift pod, as well as Sunbowl for beginners and early season lessons. They just don't seem to care to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
