Hello Koneil,

Could you please help with getting the bike wash stations back? or provide a contact name or number so that I could address this situation. I ride at Blue, on average between 15 and 20 times a year. Like many people, I ride a high performance bicycle that needs to be cleaned, whether it's clay dust or wet clay to keep it operating optimally. I also stay at hotels where I would be more comfortable bringing in a clean bike.

I feel Blue Mountain should provide basic provisions for their riders when they pay for their passes: a safe place to ride, lift access, drinking fountains, washrooms and a bike wash stations. Every major resort provides these basic amenities. The reason the bike station isn't working as I was told by a lift operator ( As of Friday August 7/ 13) that someone damaged a hose and left the system to run, the operator went on to say " one bad apple spoils the bunch". I don't subscribe to this mentality. Mathematically this doesn't make sense, if it was only one person and an isolated incident then fix the problem and move on.

I'm growing tired of these knee jerk reactions and let's not forget that mountain bikers are customers too.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Made it sound like this incident happened around that date. My apologies for mis-understanding.

Hey guys! I've been looking into making a trip to blue mountain before the season is over.

Never been there, don't know the first thing about it. I've got a few friends who ski/snowboard, and have told me about blue mountain, but no mountain bikers.

I guess I'm just looking for some re-assurance about what to expect, maybe chat to a few people who go there often.

I want to squeeze in a weekend before the season ends, when does it close up?

No worries just go and start on the easy trails and work your way up!

Sure you can. And the plus side will be that you won't have any other anniversaries after that to tie you up from riding!

80% chance of 5mm tomorrow afternoon. Looks like a huge system is passing by the bay tomorrow... Joy.

I'll be there tomorrow regardless.
