Learned to snowboard at this mountain 10 years ago... onto bigger slopes now but blue will always have a special place in my heart Also Burma>>>Paradise 💯
This is my same exact story I grew up skiing blue for my whole childhood and now im skiing big mountain but I will always remember blue as my first ever mountain
Thanks! I was planning to redo it this year with my new 360 camera. You can get a perfect angle every time. Plus there’s been a few changes so this video is obsolete. Unfortunately not every trail is gonna open this year it looks like.
Us workers here at blue mountain love to see everyone having fun. I work on Saturday and after my shift Im boarding to close. I gotta agree with you, connector is the worst
@@irishwonder2652 I’m sure you saw already but the new lift is open. I’d recommend either take the new lift from the bottom or park at the top and you’ll be able to get a run in before hopping on the lift.
Great vid! I just learned to ski last year, and bought my own skis for this year. I'm just over an hour to this place and I'm definitely going to check it out this winter!
My top 3 non terrain park trails are, paradise, lazy, and burma. In that order Once blue builds up a thick base they are the trails that offer the best side hits and wall rides. Paradise, the whole right side from top to bottom is a giant side hit, the left has some nice spots about mid way down the trail, also epic wall ride opportunities at the top. Lazy has great side hits on the first half on the right side and some glade areas if the base is deep enough. A really nice wall ride opportunity on lower lazy. Burma has some sweet wall ride opportunities and both sides of the trail have decent side hits scattered around. Every other trail on the mountain, to me is, meh. Blue is my home in the winter haha.
As someone who’s go-to mountain is blue, my fav runs are Switchback Sidewinder Challenge Free fall Razor’s edge (and back) And the chute Great place to go skiing
Aww...live in Colorado now, but grew up skiing this mountain. So Tuts lane is a blue because essentially all trails (with the exception of connector) are blue trails. So essentially if you take Tuts...your going to end up on a blue anyway. I'm pretty sure that is why they labeled it a blue. However you are right with the people dodging haha.
Paradise vs Burma is spot on. Context: I'm a very green beginner with near-zero experience (had a day of skiing and a couple of days of snowboarding in Tahoe 5+ years ago). I went to Blue Mountain last year. Did a beginner's lesson, it was useless (got into group with a family with two kids, instructors were mostly focusing on kids having fun instead of teaching adults). Spent a couple of hours on bunny hill, felt pretty comfortable. Decided to go a green one and picked Paradise. Got on top 10-15 min before sunset. It started all very nice and fun but then got icy quickly and I realized I am not able to handle turns and I am gaining speed really quickly. Struggled a lot, spent 40+ min to get down (as I was falling on pretty much each turn and eventually my feet were hurting so much I couldn't even try to ski anymore). Next time I'll plan to get on greens earlier to avoid ice as much as possible.
Sorry meant, to say its sad some of the trails aren't open maybe you could put in the footage from this video into your next one for the trails that are closed?
Great video. Planning on hitting Blue in a couple weeks after really only snowboarding on the west coast 😂. I’ll be teaching my friends most of the weekend but excited to sneak away and try some of the blues/black diamonds
@@allygator616 haven’t gone yet! But I’ve been keeping an eye on what trails and lifts are open. And yea it’s not much. Lazy Mile is supposed to be next up so hopefully there are good snow making conditions between now and then
1977-1982 on these slopes before moving away. Now living in Japan where my favorite ski resort, Nozawa Onsen, has vertical of 1,200 meters or so and usual base of 3 meters plus with steepest run at 38 degrees and overnight powder as much as 50-100 cm.
I lived near there when I was a kid and went every Friday night ski with the schools, I think I got to level 24 with the lessons did half pipe on the last lesson, then moved and have not gone skiing ever scene. I think I'm taking a trip up there this year but will be funny, I'm disabled now for the most part lol I don't think I can do more then 2-3 runs and ill need a bed. Love that place
You should hit some of the off trails in between the trees, I can’t remember what run it’s off of. I believe it’s in the middle of a couple black diamonds.
U did a good job depicting the mountain for me n my daughter. Think we agree with u as far as Burma as opposed to Paradise being the best green. We did blue mountain today, our first time…we like it Good job, good video 1/27/24 👍
Free Fall is a lot of fun when they groom it. I hope they figure out something else for the slow down fence there were points last season where it was kind of dangours
Appreciate the video. May want to angle your GoPro up higher so we can see the trail and not down at the snow so much. I’ve made the same mistake on my telluride trip
I planned to redo this with updates and a 360 camera so the view could be perfect 100% of the time, but they haven’t had 40/40 trails open since this day.
Burma is so much fun there's ton of side hits to go on there too I always go from the one terrain park to Burma to the other one then take the double lift up since the main lifts always have long lines. also go on weekdays besides Wednesdays mostly because that's when all the schools ski clubs come up if u want to avoid crowds
Unfortunately the double lift is gone now so you’ll have to go all the way to the valley every time. And they don’t have 4 hour passes anymore except evenings. Nervous about all the changes.
they call tut a blue solely because of what it leads too. each of those big center lifts has an easy side and a harder side. . Basically, the center has the mix off all the different difficulties, and the greens lay one the outer edges. so tuts blue only because there are no greens further along.
Fun fact, I lost my board on the first left turn after yeti, I was taking my board off because there’s 3 boxes and a jump on yeti and I wanted to hit it again and my board fell and went all the way down lmao
Definitely not! Freefall is the hardest single black. I would recommend Curzi’s Cabin (formerly widowmaker) as the easiest black. Once you’ve got that you can try Main Street as well.
Just FYI when you went through come around park you committed 2 cardinal sins. First, you cut between the 2 jumps which could have cut someone else off behind you. Unlike regular riding the person behind you has "some" right of way when you cut through their expected traveled path. And second, after you got to the second jump you rolled right under the landing, again forcing someone behind to stop because you rode in front of their expected path. Cool video, its been 10 years or so since I've been to blue. I wish they would bring their ticket prices down...
Eh, sins are intentional. This was my first season and I was still under the false impression that “downhill has the right of way” applied everywhere, including the park. I learned pretty quick.
@@markgraber3906 lol. The guy who said he's nit going to make the 3 hour drive from Niagara was probably also thinking of blue mountain Ontario. Blue mountain Penn is closer to six hours from Niagara
I have a lot of complaints about Blue but their snowmaking is NOT among them. It’s top notch. From what I’ve seen they’ve got more snow than many Vermont mountains. I expect some bare spots near the vista lift and on lower Main Street as it was already getting muddy on the 30th. They’ll make it until the return of cold weather.
Oh the nostalgia is real. Grew up on this mountain and now I get to ski on the rockies.
Yea yea we get ittttt you moved west to the real mountains 😅 lol jk. I got love for blue, too. Learned how to snowboard here.
The Balls it takes to call that a mountain
it builds great skiers/Snowboarders. and there are no tourists coming from really far bc of no hotel at the base. I love this mountain

I agree Burma is way better Paradise gets icy often and Burma has more fun turns
very helpful just moved in area cant wait to see these trails myself this season
Nice job putting this together - so many out of town / area folks will love it... Thank you🏂⛷
Nothing would be better than someone finding this helpful!
Falls was my first ever black diamond because my friends lured me there through sidewinder. Caught an edge and flew face first down the trail 😂
It was my first double black, I was super scared and I skidded down half of it
Thanks for showing us the trails! I went on a ski trip here as a child! I am looking to go back but as a snowboarder this time around.
That’s me and my brother!!!!! What are the odds!😂🤯

I think the new lift that opens Saturday removes the connector issue, now you can just take that up and ride right to upper lodge.
@@Jon_Hcor Yes it does, hope to see you out this weekend!

Curzi’s cabin (formerly widowmaker) and Burma road are my favorites.
Not only is this place good for snowboarding and sling but is also amazing for mountain biking
You should try Ski Biking if you like both. check out Lenz Ski Bikes
i love this mountain. The scenery is great and it’s just really nice
Grew up learning at this place. Great mountain. I’m pretty sure that Sidewinder used to be a huge terrain park
As someone who’s go-to mountain is blue, my fav runs are
Switchback
Sidewinder
Challenge
Free fall
Razor’s edge (and back)
And the chute
Great place to go skiing
Idk why but switchback and sidewinder haven't been open for a while sadly

Also, when did they rename raceway to widow maker? haha aging myself here. Last time I was there it was still raceway 🙂
It’s not even widowmaker anymore, they renamed it Curzi’s Cabin for 2023!

Broke my wrist here at connector last szn, hopefully my luck turns around this year haha
I won’t go on the snow without wrist guards. They’re cheap and slim, you won’t even notice you have them on!
I wish everyone gave the same level of courtesy that you have, like the whole "they had the right of way " thing at roughly 1:20
my favorite mountain
I thought this was Blue Mtn in Ontario...lol
When you were on vista there was a guy in a bunny costume 😂😂
i couldve been in this video with my cross team but we were in stratton that weekend for a boardercross race
so it was only 30 minutes total of board time but how long was the day with waiting/ riding ski lifts?
Which one would be the best for beginner
Nice video!

18:58 didnt realize this but last year someone told me they treat razors edge with something that makes hard/icy for the race events.
urea. It hardens up the snow when temps rise above 32
Have you considered doing this with other resorts?
Would Sunday be a crowded day to go this mountain during the season??
Hell yeah- gotta go during the week. It’s crowded from Friday around 5pm to Sunday around 6pm.
From blue to sundance & park city Utah.
what’s the easiest run ?
Great video! But no moguls at all?
I did free fall for my first ever black, i ate it twice, probably not the smartest black to do for my first time
Definitely not! Freefall is the hardest single black. I would recommend Curzi’s Cabin (formerly widowmaker) as the easiest black. Once you’ve got that you can try Main Street as well.

Yes
Down hill has the right of way
