Blue Mountain is set to open for
the season tomorrow – Wednesday, December 12, 2012 (weather and conditions
permitting). Temperatures have remained consistently cold the last few days,
allowing Blue Mountain to ramp up its snowmaking efforts and blast the mountain
with snow. Provided the current conditions remain steady, the Resort is on
track to open the Silver Bullet and Easy Rider chairs at 9 a.m., with access to
two runs, Tranquility and Easy Rider.
To kick-off the season, lift
tickets will be sold for $19.00 + HST December 12-14, 2012 with Night Skiing
scheduled to start on December 13, 2012. For skiers and snowboarders waiting
for snow and colder temperatures to arrive before purchasing a Pass, now is a
great time to get the popular 5x7® Pass at
the discounted Anniversary Price of $259+HST – prices increase every Monday at
12 a.m. until January 6, 2013. Double Down Cards are also on sale until
December 13, 2012 and are a great holiday gift option.

Village Resort, Blue Mountain has the province’s widest selection of on and
off-hill activities including the Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster and Plunge!
Aquatic Centre. The Village has activities throughout December, including
Family Fireworks every Saturday night, shopping, dining and night life. For

New for 2012/13 Winter Season:
· Snowmaking:
Blue Mountain has Canada’s largest and most powerful snowmaking system
and new upgrades improve the Resort’s total snowmaking capacity by
approximately 10 per cent, and increase its ability to make more snow at warmer
temperatures – as high as -2°C.
· Badlands
Terrain Park: New upgrades to the Badlands terrain park feature a
new and improved all-snow superpipe. Once built, the superpipe will also be in a
new location on the south end of the terrain park (beside the Apple Bowl
trail). This change in location creates more space for the creation of new
jump and rail lines. With emphasis on progression, a new fleet of rails
will be installed, with some old favourites returning, to create a whole new
riding experience this season. Snowmaking in the terrain park has also been
upgraded.
· Groomers:
Addition of two new state-of-the-art Prinoth Groomers to further establish our
fleet as one of Canada’s largest.
· Events:
New
this year as part of Pepsi March Break Madness we will be hosting the SNOW
Media showcase, a
collaboration of photography, film and art from inspiring individuals who
embrace the outdoor lifestyle. Check out our full winter events lineup at
bluemountain.ca/events
· Blue
Mountain Inn Renovations: The final phase of renovations in the historic Blue
Mountain Inn are schedule to be completed by 2013. The completely
remodeled rooms provide a fresh new look and feel, and establish the Inn as one
of the area's most comfortable, modern and affordable lodging options.
· Village
Accommodations Refurbishments: Blue Mountain's luxurious
Village accommodations continue to undergo refurbishments to both design and
in-room accessories.
