Popular Post toast21602 Posted January 25, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 @Benm @C1erArt @momskeeztoo and the regulars in the house this morning. Overcast with some flurries. Great conditions almost everywhere but Razors was a 10/10 carpet for the first run. Main Street and Switch were similar. Really no complaints again. Only the 6pack was running so TCS was hike only. Did my last run there and now I know what all the talk is about the left side. The trees and left side bumps of the guns are $$$ Also, MomSkis got a new helmet 🪖 👍 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a really neat narrow path there, it was quite enjoyable skiing that and then right after, the glorious steep section with all that gnarly man made Perder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayata Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Today was great, snow on almost all trails was perfect 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Law Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 I'm a jelly roll, hike only TCS is dope and the way it should be weekday mornings. The snow looks so good and grey PA winter mornings are what I think of when I hear the word winter. I say refer to that line by a communist of your choice, be interesting with your stashes and name matters eg Hydrox vs Oreos 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjoralas Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Hope the great conditions hold out until tonight, though I’ll likely spend most of it on Valley school 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C1erArt Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Great conditions almost everywhere but Razors was a 10/10 carpet for the first run. Thought Razors was pretty sweet too. Skied until about noon, and really needed my rocking chair in the parking lot. Talked with another boomer on the lift and it looks like they are going with the Camelback paid parking model next year. Got to pay for all that new gravel somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benm Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) i don't care where i park as long as theres a port-a-potty and i can get a ride on that little cart on demand. could you imagine 10+ of us mfers on that thing lmao Edited January 25, 2022 by Benm 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted January 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Really not concerned if they start charging for parking as long as it is for specific areas or included in season passes. My legs work just fine so I can walk. Might have to leave an extra 30 seconds early to make up for the added walk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schif Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Even Camelback gives free parking for season passholders. I understand the desire to not leave money on the table but I feel like this is kind of teetering on the edge of worth leaving it on the table to impart some goodwill. Whether or not they mean to, the best thing Blue is doing is creating communities. Whether it's PASR, or the many other crews in the parking lot or the freestyle team, or the cross team or even the racers they either let these groups form or actively form them so that people make it a habit to come to their facility, buy passes and maybe some food. I'm not exactly frequenting many other PA mountains but I really doubt that this kind of thing exists on the large scale it does at Blue at other places. Not every store needs to be a Walmart and not every mountain needs to be a Vail resort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benm Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 someone said it earlier - cbk attracts NY/NJ crowd who will pay for premium parking. that isn't blue's clientele. maybe blue can charge for that row at the top where we park and something close to the tubing maybe. i just don't see it happening. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgguy Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 It is crazy to charge parking; think about it, a family of 4 comes in and pays for lift tickets, rentals ($100 per person for ticket and rental), $100 for food (if they are lucky) and then gets jabbed $40 to park. lol. I will say that paying for parking is going to keep me from going to Camelback or JF/BB. Greedy pigs trying to bleed us dry and ruin the sport. It won't keep away the NY/NJ crowd but will affect the local crowd. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you were on the lift with me when I was talking to another guy about that. People will walk from Palmerton 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Add $12 to each ticket as a “parking fee” and boom, problem solved. probably wouldn’t work and I’m bad at math but it works in my head 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUFrankenstein Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 If they tell us we can't drink in the parking lot any more, people are gonna lose their minds (including me) Or maybe we would just get a PASR bus and all ride to the mountain together 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
