Not sure we ever did Blue though. Yes especially with the 9am start time and the fact that there’s a very limited amount of local skiing and terrain open. They really only have the capacity for a couple hundred skiers and riders right now max Edited November 25, 2019 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiggio Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 There were rumors floating around Saturday that they may open upper Main Street on Friday. We shall see... Guess it all depends on how much they lost during the deluge Sunday and the warm temps this week. It would be nice if they did to take a lot of heat off Midway.

I don’t know how upper Main Street is possible. Maybe if they move some of the snow from tuts lane into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looks like 8am opening this Saturday and Sunday and this season 9am might be the opening on weekdays instead of 830 last season at least that’s what the bottom of Toasts post from Instagram alludes to.

Maybe if they move some of the snow from tuts lane into it. I did see some fairly good-sized whales on it, but it's hard to say from the double chairs if there's enough to cover the trail. Like others have said, we ski thinner cover in the springtime, so they don't really need to go edge-to-edge either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFskiDan Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 i would love to see upper main open, but i think its gonna take some more snow. I forget if they knocked it down or not, but even if it wasnt full width it would be an improvement to what happens to midway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, they didn't even drive over the whales at the top of upper Main or Tuts on Saturday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted November 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 How crowded was it last saturday? regardless, an 1-3/4 drive to get outside and slide around a little on a trail at Blue beats a 3 hr drive to the catskills...regardless of the crowds I think. Either that or take a hike up at the water gap I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Blue for a few hours, and hike the AT right from the parking lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
