White stuff has been falling from the sky and the colder weather has meant that our snowmaking team has been pumping out snow all there own! This is good news for all of you as Blue Mountain will be opening for another winter of fun on the snow at 9:00 am on Friday November 30th. (weather and conditions permitting) 

 

With this early season opening, Blue Mountain’s Snow Go will feature a $19 day lift ticket until December 9th. For the current snow conditions and for details on what terrain is open visit www.bluemountain.ca.

 

WHOO HOOO – see you on the hill

LOL... you're an idiot! And looks like I won't be able to ski tomorrow. 124 is open now, but it may close again, we're supposed to get some more squals coming in tonight!

word around  the mountain is that on Friday we will have some rails in the park, hike access (the Badlands chair will not be running) there was a debate on whether or not there would be a hit but my gut tells me no.

They have been blowing snow like crazy - so it's coming...

Looks like I'll be up there again tomorrow.
Can anyone tell me what rails/boxes are setup in the mini-park? It kind of sucks that its all going to be hiking access only.

i think they closed some runs because its midweek and not as busy, it would seem like a blue mnt sort of thing to do not having to have extra staff working. the badlands chair is suppose to be running this weekend though, with a railline top to bottom(so ive heard atleast).

well i will be there sunday for sure as apparently we are suppose to get a 20cm+ storm on sunday, and i'd think that by this time it would be blue's priority to open at LEAST a rail line cus junkyard over at mslm has like 8 rails and 2 jumps open arrdy i think so blue should step up ther game, o and badlands is bigger this year so when it finally opens its gonna be siiik i hope thye do something so that u can mix in rails with jumps like a rail+jump line or something

We were there tonight, and they have the new DFD rail setup with a big-ass takeoff, and then 2 20 foot boxes going up-gap-down.

all they had in terms of badlands was the tiny walk jib park, it was the same as the one last weekend. But park staff said that they are going to start cutting the pipe on monday and build jumps throught out the week and have the badlands running by next weekend with a bunch of shit

BLEU WAS EPIC TODAY!!!! (sunday) so much snow fell, it was amazing except visibility was like 0. AND driving home back to toronto was also very fun with 320hp and awd, a crazy dog almost jumped on the road in front of car and most highways were unplowed, so much fun.

they cut the pipe yesterday and are starting to build features this afternoon and overnight.

The plan is to open Badlands tomorrow with the superpipe, a slopestyle course and the badlands chair running.

park update coming soon.

its time to show blue a little bit of love...

rails are decent for time of year and recent weather conditions... however jumps are KEWL!! 

20ft jump (poppy - excellent for rodeos and backies) into a 45ft-55ft jump

FUN!
