by that time Boulder will be open anyways

Any idea when Xanadu will open? I need to make turns. Maybe Mt Hood - By now they should have dug out the Palmer Chair. Or maybe Bariloche (Argentina) or Chapelco.

probably not this year to South America - maybe Treble Cone or the Remarkables in New Zealand. An awfully long plane ride.

Now is the time to plan your trips to New Zealand or South America to ride and ski - let's see who's really hard core. yeah baby it's off to Chile and Portillo.

It's wrong to send any of our snowmaking to Mt Snow. Should stay right where it is. Also, clear the rocks out of the area between Challenge and East Mtn where it goes under the East Mtn lift. stick some snow below River Shot so you can ski right down to the river (and walk back up of course!). Lower the price (just some) of some of the cafeteria food. Build a sundeck at the bottom near the two triple lifts.

Yup looks like they filmed for at least a month. They did a reality TV show about their Ski Patrol. I heard it will air in November.

skiied at CB yesterday and it was real nice. Will buy my season pass there next year or sooner!!

Good snow on saturday - where to get my season pass next season??

which loaf trip is this? Is someone running a road trip?

I know - it was great earlier in the year especially between Challenge and River Shot!

You do make a good point - however - my .02: I would think that JF would want to engage a long term strategy to both attract future season pass holders, and remain competitive in a difficult, at best - "flat" market. Blowing snow on closing day is just an illustrative example of a long term "perception" issue. Cleaning up the woods so you can ride/ski them without wrecking your equipment is a good thing. Ditto with appealling to a younger market, aggressive group sales etc. JFBB doesn't have big vertical, so it's the "extras" that would seperate JFBB from Sno, Blue, Elk, and others. Thanks,

"that mountain" makes a hefty profit year after year. Their business people are astute enough to realize that perception = reality in the minds of their customer base. The fact that they had a couple of guns lit up on closing day was simply a calculated business decision that supported a very positive perception.

Went to Blue yesterday afternoon - the blew snow all over and the coverage is great - much more of a base than other mountains. They could easily stay open into April if the $$$ was there

the incentive is to provide optimal skiing conditions for customers so that they buy season passes next year - or - at least come back again - in March. I was at "another mountain" on closing and they had the snow guns on nearest the lodge and the parking lot just to show patrons that they would blow at every chance.
