how far is Blue from NYC?

 

[TankerX]

2hrs from nyc

 

[daisycutter]

anyone ride there how does it compare to Diablo or platty?

 

[rollertoaster]

I guess it's kinda a mix of both. Steep rocky dh that is more like platty than diablo. They also have a couple jump lines built so far. even one that is real dj style with tall steep lips.

I'd have been there today if it weren't for this crappy weather

Very interested in this deal, but need more info:

When do you plan on opening/closing next season?

Ticket price, hours of operation, days open (just Sats like this year?)

SkiBlueMtn.com doesn't have much/any info.

 

[TankerX]

Can you buy this season pass online or by phone?

 

[Vertical Earth]

opening weekend will be the weekend before memorial day thru the 31st again.

 

[dagmz6s]

You can buy the pass online. I just followed through from www.skibluemt.com, you need to click tickets & passes, then in the middle of the page to buy tickets online, then just keep clicking till you get there.

last I heard they are going to be open on Saturdays and Sundays next year, no weekdays though except maybe the friday before a race.

so that means open for all riders every weekend in the summer, not just races right?

We hit up Blue Mtn for the first time and got a season passes since it's a no-brainer and it saved us $$. This place is awesome and hooked up with a few locals that showed us around. Everyone here on the Northeast should come hit this spot up, show some love! So I hear majority of the work were done by locals who volunteered and they did an excellent job of the trails..

Thumbs up to the trail crew..yet another great place to ride.

Sounds great Chun we wanted to go this year but really did not get it on the radar before the end of the season and ran into several weekends with bad weather. Chun give me a call and a report.

Where are these rocks? Big ass flat shale rocks co-planar to the trail grade that barely engage your suspension do NOT make trails "rocky"

 

[rollertoaster]

what the hell are you talking about? If the rocks at blue barely engage your suspension then you need to get your bike checked out...

How does shale (a rock) make a trail not rocky? I assume you are referring to Platty, which is rocky but not very rough.

dont worry about him, he thinks diablos rocky trails are paved highways. he must have some sweet suspension on his bike.

 

[rollertoaster]

I'm not. it's just the typical contradictory nonsense I expect to find on an online forum.

What time are you guys coming down tomorrow? There hasn't been much communication about any details on this side.

 

[yuroshek]

dont think its gonna happen, memmelaar just got back from hawaii, pj has a broken wrist, and the other 2 boys are 4+ hour drive so that would leave me and moschitti lol. i havent ridin DH since... last day at diablo.
