Explore blue sky basin, the gapers can't get back there because it's to far and there are plenty of good lines if you know where to look. Other then that i don't go to bars when I'm in vail because everything is to damn expensive.

i rode up with this dude on the gondi who said 15 to 18 inches was needed before they'd open up bluesky. he said theres a bit of snow there already but the cattrack to it is all dirt from cats taking it.
he was like the mastah of bluesky, i forget his actual job title

I'm headed to Beaver Creek this weekend (18th, 19th & 20th) and just realized lift tickets are $105 a day... is that serious?  Anyone with a means for cheaper lift tickets & that wants to shred hit me up.  Beer is the incentive.  Thanks!

not sure what that means but I would say it's the exact opposite. Blue Sky always gets super crowded when there's new snow especially over the end Winter Break. But at this point it might not even be open by then.

Their early season park was a nightmare. I hope they have a better park set up soon.

Ore house - restaurant/bar.... would be convenient if there was a whorehouse because finding an attractive chick in Vail is like looking for a parking spot - all the good ones are taken, only available are either handicapped or way the hell out there

Blue Sky is fun. The two years I lived and worked out there I went out there maybe once. It just takes so long to get out there. And like it was said earlier in this that's where all the gaper's head any ways. I Believe from lions head to the top of Blue Sky is 7 miles. In are snocats from the top of lionshead it took almost a hour to get back there too.

It's because the park manager is a ski racer, the park leads have never worked in a terrain park before, and the crew just smokes weed all day long.

Opening two lifts on Thursday, I'm thinking 17 and 21? I could be wrong though. And some on blue sky on Friday. Peep their Facebook for full details.

The lifts were pretty crowded, but lines were quick and the runs weren't bad at all.
