Every Trail At Blue Mountain In One Afternoon: With Timestamps And Commentary

[@vjay4461]

Oh the nostalgia is real. Grew up on this mountain and now I get to ski on the rockies.

[@shad3128]

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.

[@TheStinkysteve]

The Balls it takes to call that a mountain

[@charliebrumbaugh6203]

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

[@zsxavi]

@@charliebrumbaugh6203 Yupp had to get an Airbnb 30 minutes away. But it seems like Blue is a lot better than Big Boulder/Jack Frost which are like 10-20 minutes away. Might as well just drive the extra 10

[@BxgDxwg]

@@TheStinkysteveit is a literal mountain and does it’s job as a ski resort.

[@davidzheng7568]

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 💯

[@ultimatechickenhorsesweat2614]

Burma way better thank you

[@colincaruso4851]

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

[@thepronoob1529]

I agree Burma is way better Paradise gets icy often and Burma has more fun turns

[@ActiveJoe]

Nice job putting this together - so many out of town / area folks will love it... Thank you🏂⛷

[@markgraber3906]

Nothing would be better than someone finding this helpful!

[@wintermoose6882]

very helpful just moved in area cant wait to see these trails myself this season

[@theghostflame]

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.

[@NathanOrr1001]

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

[@Jon_Hcor]

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.

[@NathanOrr1001]

@@Jon_Hcor Yes it does, hope to see you out this weekend!

[@irishwonder2652]

@@NathanOrr1001 I’m heading up tomorrow, is the connector the best way to get to those beginner runs or is there a new lift open?

[@NathanOrr1001]

@@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.

[@Thelittletow]

I don't know how I came across this video or where the mountain even is but I love it. I hope my comment helps boost this up a bit more.

[@Saltinator]

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.

[@markgraber3906]

Curzi’s cabin (formerly widowmaker) and Burma road are my favorites.

[@harrydarling1]

You did a GREAT job and a great service with this. Thank you.

[@georgeaufschlag8362]

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 😂

[@thepronoob1529]

It was my first double black, I was super scared and I skidded down half of it

[@johnh2382]

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.

[@syt4er441]

Not only is this place good for snowboarding and sling but is also amazing for mountain biking

[@peekD_]

You should try Ski Biking if you like both. check out Lenz Ski Bikes

[@lucasb1097]

@@markgraber3906 hmmm I will

[@skidawg79]

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.

[@skidawg79]

Also, when did they rename raceway to widow maker? haha aging myself here. Last time I was there it was still raceway 🙂

[@markgraber3906]

It’s not even widowmaker anymore, they renamed it Curzi’s Cabin for 2023!

[@whitey6317]

this mountain started it all for me wow

[@renownedtube188b4]

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

[@Hillpeople-nu8ib]

Idk why but switchback and sidewinder haven't been open for a while sadly

[@heyjaypay4521]

Those "black diamonds" would be greens in Alberta 😂

[@wozboat]

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!

[@thepronoob1529]

Same with me! I learned how to ski at Blue mtn in 21-22 season.

[@SeanGolf]

Grew up learning at this place. Great mountain. I’m pretty sure that Sidewinder used to be a huge terrain park

[@ReeferRob115]

first mountain i ever shredded a board on haven't gone back since might have to make a stop next season

[@eugenebakulin6154]

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.

[@mattfreelie55]

This video was epic and just what I was looking for!

[@onevideonly]

Great Video! You should definitely remake the video, I would love to see a 2023 version!

[@markgraber3906]

I plan to! With my new 360 camera. Unfortunately this winter isn’t cooperating and I can’t do every trail if some trails never open…

[@onevideonly]

That's great! Its sad that some of them aren't, your videos are great keep up the good work!

[@onevideonly]

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?

[@Ro-Bucks]

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

[@KP-dd2ci]

I thought this was Blue Mtn in Ontario...lol

[@pablobonilla973]

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 👍

[@ryanmathews9033]

I love blue cause it’s not a difficult mountain and fun to ride

[@thepronoob1529]

In the winters I regularly ski at Blue Mtn, and i must say that the trails are much steeper than they look, especially the blacks and double blacks.

[@Vertexee]

burma road is my favorite here, its just a vibe, no real focusing just cruising downwards the entire way

[@shad3128]

Awesome video. Thanks!!

[@ultimatechickenhorsesweat2614]

Bro widowmaker (now curzi’s cabin) is my favorite black too, love that one

[@tl8863]

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

[@SHredWorld]

Super vid!! Watched every min. Nice job with helmet shots; not at all easy to get smooth shots at good angle. Subbed, liked, enjoyed.

[@markgraber3906]

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.

[@zsxavi]

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]

Hopefully you weren’t too disappointed. Absolutely nothing was open 😢

[@zsxavi]

@@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

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.

[@prevent08]

Thank you! This was a great video. Just started skiing and want to go to Blue moutain this year.

[@brayden7153]

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

[@markgraber3906]

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.

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.

@@Sarah_RHRoblox nice! Conditions were really smooth and soft this weekend, it was great- nothing like when I made this video!

[@dylanpittenger967]

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.

[@markgraber3906]

Well, there’s arguably connector and vista.

[@dpt560]

so it was only 30 minutes total of board time but how long was the day with waiting/ riding ski lifts?

[@markgraber3906]

Hell yeah- gotta go during the week. It’s crowded from Friday around 5pm to Sunday around 6pm.

[@daviddetweiler7658]

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...

[@markgraber3906]

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.

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.
