nice

I am a lady who didn't ski for the first time until the age of 40. I won't say just HOW many years ago that was, but Blue Mountain will always hold a spot in my heart as it was the first place I ever skied. All three of my kids learned to ski there as have many of my nieces and nephews. Sure, the conditions aren't always the best... we all complain about the ice, and yes, it does get crowded on Sat. and Sun. but what ski area or recreation area DOESN'T? I find the staff for the most part to be WONDERFUL. The ski patrol folks are the best and they've started to "blow the whistle" at each bend in the trails where the weekend warriors are flying down a POSTED "Slow-moving" trail. My pat battle cry to these folks is always, "Gee, if you're really THAT good, there are a few nice black diamonds you could test out.
I honestly have only one complaint. All things considered I feel the lift ticket prices are too expensive for what is offered. I used to go up to Blue on Sunday afternoon/evening and could ski for $19.00 which was AMAZING. Now the prices are rather steep in comparison to many of the ski areas in Vermont which offer a great deal more terrain and better conditions. I wish they'd come up with a few more "deals" so that people like myself, on limited budgets, could ski more often.
WE LOVE YOU, BLUE MOUNTAIN !!

Blue is where I go the most every season, but that is changing. I like it's size but I'm tired of the ice. They need to groom much more often. Also, after getting back from VT over break, i LOVE glade riding. I only wish Blue would open up a glade trail like Jack Frost has.
