Blue mountain is 1 hr closer then diablo at least for me... I loved it there, they just didn't have the amount of trails diablo did, but I liked it more with the exception of a few trails I really like at diablo (like deceit or alpine). Also blue has some big features, diablo has no real big jumps besides that step up which is gone and that covenant drop or w\e.

Edit: During the summer diablo has a water park while in the lift line to watch chicks go to the park, but I guess that can be a blessing and a curse, haha.

So the only Super-D-ish race is Oct 31st other than the Le Mans start race? I was hoping to get out for one of these this year.
