You guys made the front scrolling banner of the JFBB website! You have your own welcome message up. They are prepared for the invasion. So bummed to miss it...
They even have a link to PASR on the banner. That's pretty BA.
-
I didn't even think the tickets were good for boulder too
-
Yeah what phillycore said. There are quite a few level 3 instructors and they will set you up with someone they feel is capable of teaching an advanced lesson and that instructor will be more than happy to not be teaching a beginner lesson haha.
-
I'm at boulder for a couple weeks then getting a much desired transfer to JF
That's awesome man. See ya at work in a couple weeks then!
-
Yeah I did ITC last year and we have the problem that all the skiers want to come to frost and all the snowboarders want to go to big boulder. I prefer frost over boulder cause you never have to worry about working nights, your shift will always be 8-4.
-
Yeah they never opened east mountain. They were grooming and running the lift but apparently the groomer started sliding going down one of the headwalls and messed up the snow.
-
Present.
-
Smaller flakes here near big boulder. Been sticking to everything since about 9am.
-
Yeah they cleared at the one park glade top to bottom and they also cleared out glades on the west side of the mountains to make some glades for novice and beginner skiers.
-
Says you have to be 19+ to buy the college pass and is $100 dollars really worth being able to ski an extra hour in the morning, especially to a college student. Free lift tickets to jay peak seems awesome but is there a reason there is a million asterisks next to it?
-
Anyone have the inside scoop on the mountain adventure thing at CB that's supposed to open in 2 weeks? I've done zip lines and ride a segway in work . Looks like they're going all out to make off season something other than just a water park.
P.S. It's hot down here, how many more days til the lifts start turning again??
My roommate is actually training to work there and one of the guys in charge came to my class to talk to us about what they are doing and employment. From what I have heard they will have mountain segway tours, ropes courses, a climbing wall and I think a few other things I can't think of right now. The ropes courses will have different levels of difficulty like ski trails and I think the climbing wall is mainly meant for kids. I am pretty sure when it first opens that it will only be on weekends and like mid Juneish it will start opening 7 days a week till around labor day.

Frost will still be open 3/12, 3/13 and weather permitting on 3/14.

Yeah, idk the people in guest services called the whole free ticket with a season pass to another mountain thing "Alien Invasion". Yeah atomic is right I went in showed them my JFBB pass and they gave me a free ticket + a camelcard and I tried asking them about it and they just kept telling me about the camelcard discounts.
-
What is the deal with the alien invasion this year? I went today and they gave me a comp pass for having a JFBB season pass but they also gave me a camel card but the ladies working in guest services did not seem to know much about it. This year do they just give you a free camelcard then you have to use that and just get the discount from the camel card, instead of getting a free pass everytime?
-
yup.
Okay, thought it was an instructors jacket jacket. I am an instructor at frost too, I was trying to recognize your goggles/helmet in the picture but couldn't.
-
So glad the snow gods came through in time for the PASR day at Jack Frost...stoked everyone had a good time.
That's a keeper.
PARR are you an instructor?
-
I haven't heard or seen of any other major accidents in the elevator or the glade this year. Every once in awhile I see people going down elevator that probably shouldn't be but I think the glade part scares people off that don't think they can do it.
-
Unless there were two accidents that day I believe that was one of the ski instructors. Last I heard he broke/bruised 3-4 ribs, broke his wrist and I believe I heard he had a pretty bad concussion.
-
Hmm if I knew it was you I would of introduced myself, I pulled in right as you guys were walking away. Maybe if I see you around, I wear black pants, white helmet, blue goggles and either a dark green jacket or a brown instructors jacket. There every sat/sun.
-
PC you drive a suzuki? I pulled in at like 7:50 and saw a suzuki with what I believe were PEs up against and a man in green pants but wasn't sure if it was you.
-
I'm fine with the park pass that's whatever.. but having to pay for it? What about us people who don't ride there everyday... I ride up north so coming down and paying 10 bucks to hit some rails... at a place I already paid 45 bucks for because camelback is too cheap to give their employees some vouchers for friends and family like the used to... come on
My friends that work there each get 25 half of tickets.
-
Will be there sat/sun for ITC
