saltyant Posted January 8 Author Report Share Posted January 8 (edited) Camelback responded to yesterday: "Due to all of the snow we did have delayed openings for lifts. We are working on getting more terrain and more lifts open as soon as possible." Is it typical that snow makes lifts stop working? Never heard this one before! Camelback's social media is not getting any flak like Blue's is. I guess Blue was way worse or Camelback's clientele are just totally ok with spending $100 to stand in long lines all day and look at closed lifts.

Skiology Matt said we had freezing rain in the middle of the snow storm which was probably the delay for the Comet Quad as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they pull this everyone expects it and shrugs their shoulders. People hold Blue to higher standards. Part of the paradox of low expectations, you start getting away with screwing up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltyant Posted January 9 Author Report Share Posted January 9 (edited) I emailed Camelback feedback to air my grievances and they offered me a free pass, so I'll give it to my snowboarding brah who helped me with a project over the summer. I don't really want anything other than for them to do better, but it will be rad skiing with a grate pal at Camelback.

Also Disney+ I have a “Colin” bias, I don’t get stiffed by customers too often but Colin got me for $2,700.00 Karma caught up with him though, his drug dealer fronted him a bunch of product. He got busted and couldn’t pay him back. Apparently he’s still in the run . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just build it later in the season. There's some massive whales on Rhodo. I know Blue the True wants to build them on Dreamweaver again but the seasons have not allowed them to hammer that trail hard enough to build the big boy park. Hopefully we get it this year. Im expecting with next weekends 24 hour snowmaking windows Come Around park will get built sooner than later. Then they will prioritize opening 100% of the trails before focusing on building out Dreamweaver if the weather lets them. Im more of a rail rat these days. Less consequential once you learn how to bail on them vs coming up short on a big money booter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hoping for that is also hoping for another year not reach 100% open trails. Let us park rats have our top to bottom park. We dont mind if you zip through unlike the racers completely taking trails from us for hours a day. Edited January 12 by DiMe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow, I just copied and pasted that from their social media website. TFTI Although I'm now an official member of the "Camelback Mountain Skiers and Riders" Facebook private exclusive group which has 1.8K members, so I've got that going for me which is nice.
