If they would ever cut a new trail and give us either that or stinger as a the bump run, i think i would have to buy the pass.
I really hope they start with Temptor as the bump run right out of the gate. The steepish section is much better for bumps than anything on Nor'easter. Stick a few small tabletops in the Temptor flats and we'll have a great run to fool around on. Rumor has it surveying is underway looker's right of Gunbarrel. Nothing new for this season, but it's a step in the right direction. You can bet those scary snake skis of yours I'll be pushing hard for a dedicated mogul run on that fall line...

Well the early bird season pass at Blue mountain is about $475..and full priced after November 15th is $649..with the high costs of snowmaking and energy..little hills don't necassarliy mean small prices except in areas with lots of large ski areas

That's just my perception. Now that I think about it the day tickets may make up a higher percentage than I was originally remembering.
