abe Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Dont plan on them getting fully open if they get 1 or 2 blacks open and good conditions I would jump on the opportunity. I have been checking in on the snow report for a couple years and have squandered several opportunities to come here when part of the lower mountain was open. Never have seen it 100%. Decided to come here today due to Indy pass blackouts and crowds expected anywhere else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Also I will add - food prices not unreasonable at all Chicken tendies, pizza, 2 hot chocolates, a root beer, and cookie for $17 - less than 1 burger at vail? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of times after getting to Presidents weekend VAIL places don't want to invest a lot more in snowmaking and would rather coast through the rest of the VAIL skison as crowds start to dwindle at VAIL. Word on the street is Stowe is done making snow for the year. Accept the fact that Knob is rarely 100% unless its a big snow year for them. They dont care if you go or not. Ski where conditions are best, which may mean opening up the drawstrings on your purse, and skiing outside your pass. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Lift went on wind hold again at 3:30 so we dipped All these ski bros complaining about I70 ski traffic. Well I am here to inform you that I just went through an I70 tunnel on the busiest ski weekend of the year with neither epic nor ikonic traffic jams...🤔 Edited February 19, 2022 by abe 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between them they cover at least 30 places I could make a weekend driving trip to, so there is very little reason for me to ski off pass. Blue Knob is further from me than places I still have pass days to use at that I like skiing including Hunter, Whitetail, Montage, Jack Frost, Roundtop, about the same distance as Catamount, and not much closer than Magic, Snow, Okemo, Sunnapee, Berkshire East or West. Given that, barring them getting a big snow fall there that the others don't get, I'm not making the drive to Blue Knob unless they at least have the whole vertical and some blacks open.

abe Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Stembogan and high hopes (and route 66?) allegedly open today with 3 lifts. Would have been a good day but I could only go yesterday. Now is the time to go before the rain shuts the place down again next week! Pretty thin base on most trails. Maybe they will be able to recover for March Edited February 20, 2022 by abe 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abe Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Believe it or not... Blue Knob still claims to be making snow and is aiming to open additional terrain Maybe Stembogan will be open again next weekend. If it is I will visit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
