Blue Mountain Ski Area - The Photo Tour

[RootDKJ]

I remember someone commenting on my Blue TR that they always wondered what the place looked like, so I decided to make a photo tour of Blue. I’ll go left to right across the trail map. Some trails I didn’t ski, so I’ll just have lift pictures. All the photos were not shot on the same day, or in the same order. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this.

This thread cooled me off!!!!!

Pretty interesting. Looks like a lot of very open trails at the "true mountain", good for getting mad steezy speed, I guess. Also impressive is the snowmaking. Seems like a fair amount of skiable acreage.

impressive tour! thanks. i have a pretty good feel for the place. switchback looks like a nice blue.

the snowmaking budget must be insane.

That's a great tour Root! Good job!

They can be 100% open including tubing with a week of around the clock snowmaking..most of the runs at Blue are pretty wide by northeast standards which is good since the mountain does 300,000+ skier visits annually..

Still tough to beat 1,000+ vert with two high speed lifts 17 miles away..

Thanks guys. See ya down at Blue next season :smash:
