If its already paid for use it. There is skiing in the Pocono's be it limited The rumor mill has a pattern change taking place soon in our favor. I would hold any judgment's on next years passes till after February. The example shown above was 1 trail and like I said it actually skied well. I took the picture for laughs. Other trails looked like this.
That sounds like some strong motivation to help make that happen.I'm reconsidering mine next year for Blue. We have a baby on the way, so I'm not sure when I'll get time to go. It's a chore to get here with a 1.25 hr commute each way. Big time commitment even for a short session. My MIL lives overseas; we're in the process of getting her a green card to live here with us and help with the baby. If that comes through in time it will definitely help my ski season
Since they are run by the same company, I don't believe you will see either Blue or Camelback on Ikon. Heck they can't even offer a pass good at both. I don't think there is any need for them to be on Ikon as they seem to have a captive enough audience as it is. To me it wouldn't make any difference because its merely location, (I'm in NNJ) but if I lived up in Pocono's a combo Blue/Camelback pass would a no brainer.That sounds like some strong motivation to help make that happen.
Although it might mean more crowds for Blue, I’m really hoping the they get on IKON for next year even if it is just for a few days and save me from buying both again.
But isn't the whole purpose of offering the multi pass a way to get people to travel to the bigger resorts and dump lots of money? Offering that at Blue, as opposed to their regular season pass would certainly do that. It would also turn the mountain into an even bigger shitshow on weekends.
4 pack??? Get me a keg…. This shits getting oldOkay, I need this for my own sanity after all the depressing talk about the weather and skiing elsewhere. (Maybe the whole 4-pack to forget about it all)
But they don't need to do that. They are getting the crowds regardless. They can charge their 600 plus for their pass and get it just due to their location. Also don't know if Blue is payed parking yet but CBK does and the lots are still full.
Good to hear about the 4 hour tickets. Too bad they advertise it as starting at $50, but the only $50 day is March 4th. All others are $60 and up. Since I tend to get bored at Blue, I prefer the 4 hour tickets.
I haven’t looked at what they cost yet but I assumed 80 to 90 on the weekends. I have a season pass but I liked the 1/2 tickets for my kids. We normally only do mornings on weekends before the crowds get to be too much and they just don’t get out enough to justify a pass. My oldest is fine going once a year. My youngest is into it but the 530 am alarms doesn’t jive well with a teen’su need for sleep. I would grab her an ikon pass in a second if it covered Blue and a trip to VT. I really wish they’d bring back the early season deals for 3 tickets for $99 but those days are gone,
Yeah, it's pretty confusing. I don't fully understand it myself: the ownership structure, business interests, motivations, etc. I think Alterra is not involved with Blue or Camelback because Alterra doesn't own those mountains; KSL does. Alterra is a joint venture co-owned by KSL and Henry Crown Co. KSL went ahead and bought Blue and Camelback on its own (or at least without Henry Crown Co.), so it might make sense that Alterra isn't involved. Maybe it's like if you're in a band but release a solo album. Alterra is the band and Blue and Camelback are solo albums. At any rate, I'm assuming these different ownership interests matter. Maybe they don't matter and they have other reasons for what they do.
