Anyone up in collingwood can tell me if blue will be open from the 27th on? and will they have a rail park? I'm dieing here, I have to ski at Caledon, and its HORRIBLE!! But if anyone wants to come here and ride our 3 hills that are open, give me a shout.

I'm happy to say that the snow gods seem to finally be in an agreeable mood and snow is finally falling from the sky here at Blue Mountain.

I'm happy to report that thanks to the efforts of our snowmaking and operations team we will be opening for skiing and snowboarding tomorrow, December 28th (weather and conditions permitting).

Ticket pricing is as follows: Day $25, Day/Night $30, Night $20 (all tickets +GST)

from what i understand we will have Easy Street and Smart Alec open and then will open more terrain as weather and conditions allow.

i haven't heard a park update yet... i will try to find out for you... my guess would be that it will be a couple of days before we get a mini park back up and running....

Sittin at Blue right now and as of 2pm this afternoon they had no guns past Easy Street from what i saw... the guns were on smart alec, tranq, memory and over that way nothing towards the park from what i saw.

and its only sitting around zero so all the natural snow from the other day has vanished again!

Cole, quit the shit talk. While you were riding Blue's 2 runs, i was riding MSLM's multiple rails and one jump. I'll be at Blue after new years though.
