  1. I got discount tickets to Jackson through the condo I booked. About $60 off a 5 day ticket.
  2. Snowmobile races are the 26th. They typically close either that weekend or the weekend before.
  3. I was there on the 29th. Snow was great, got maybe a inch or so of fresh throughout the day. Park setup was super fun with great flow from top to bottom. Light crowds made for a great day.
  4. Maybe easier intermediate would be a better way to describe it. Basically some easier features at the bottom of BB so when you connect in from Cascade there are some features for not as advanced riders to hit. Replace a rail or two with a box or something.
  5. Could have really used some dye on the lips of features yesterday morning, light was flat as hell. Setup is pretty fun but would have liked to see some more intermediate features on BB until Cascade has a full build out...especially at the bottom of BB.
  6. Any plans for adding to or changing the park for the weekend?
  7. Park setup is fun. You know of any plans to do a build on Cascade?
  8. Definitely one of the best opening setups in recent years.
  9. 10 or 11 features out. Snow was surprisingly good and park crew did a great job of keeping everything in shape. Pretty fun opening day.
  10. I'll be there tomorrow.
  11. Nope, been super busy. Basically, top 1/3 of the mountain was awesome. Couple inches of reloaded blower pow most mornings and we got 2 days with some fresh snow. Pretty much bluebird ever other day. Mid mountain was all about groomers and park. Park was on point and I hit some of the biggest jumps I've hit in years. Saw a bunch of pro riders lapping Blackcomb which was awesome. Bottom 1/3 had the least amount of snow I have ever seen there so we avoided that except for end of the day runs. Blackcomb only had 1 trail running into the village which was crazy. Not the best trip out there I've been on from a snow standpoint but it was a hell of a good time with what was there and the lack of crowds.
  12. Fun weekend at BB. Snow held up fairly well for how warm it was. Park setup was a lot of fun. Crowds were mellow as well. Great way to wrap up the PA season.
  13. Yup. Like I said last season I was riding during the snowmobile races and there were maybe 10 other people riding / skiing that weekend. We had enough 50-60 degree days for people to think the season is over and stop showing up.
  14. I was there riding the day of the races. It was actually pretty fun because the slopes were empty. Pretty much lapped the Timberline park all day with just a couple other people. Snow was good as well.
  15. They were open for riding the day of the races last year.
  16. Hit up Montage for the weekend to use some free tickets, meet up with some buddies from college before and get some longer runs in before heading off to Whistler next weekend . Little bit of light pow on Sat on top of nice firm but carvable snow. Park rode great and is definitely improved from the last time I was there. Wasn't overly crowded but there was a good amount of people there. Cool little bar setup outside as well. Sunday was even better after the snow. The north face was left ungroomed and there were fresh tracks for the better part of the morning and some nice little tree stashes to be had. Again, crowds were manageable and never really had more than a 2 minute wait for any lift ride.Overall a great time. Definitely going to be going back more often, I forgot how fun it is to ride there.
  17. Yep, Boulder's jumps are on point.
  18. Quick, fun session last night. Snow was good a bit hard in spots but with the temps that is expected. Crowds weren't bad at all on the mountain...the Grille was packed. Park setup is still great. Jumps on BB are probably the best BC has had in a few years and some of the best I've hit in PA all season.
  19. Gonna have to defer to the expert here...how many chins are needed to be considered a fat baby?
  20. Baby balls?...extra creepy.
  21. ^ things creepy people say.
  22. Yesterday was surprisingly good despite the cold and the wind. It was empty until about noon. Snow was fantastic. Jump line is Cascade is much, much better now. Rails were a bit sticky because of the cold but got better as the day went on. Wind pretty much ruled out the 2nd and 3rd jumps in Black Bear...they were do able but it was gusting pretty hard right up the landings. Boarder cross berms on the tubing line was a ton of fun. Great use of that space. Park crew has really stepped it up this year.
