For real?
I guess that's a smart decision. This weather has been shit.
Fooled me for sure. Ha!
There were shooting for Tuesday or Wednesday...but you saw what the weather was like.
1 or 2 nights of decent snow making should be enough for them to get some terrain open.
-
Wait what wow
How was Blue yesterday?
-
i guess i just don't understand why they insist on opening with 100% terrain and then open on a rainy midweek Tuesday with ungroomed trails and no customers.
They didn't open.
-
But people complained like crazy and still went to Blue. I think they should do 4 and 8 hour tickets.
6 hour flex pass, Night, and All Day would be fine and make the sense compared to the mess they have now.
There were people at Boulder on Sat that said they were there because they didn't want to pay for Blue so it certainly is keeping some people away.

Nice to see Blue making loot off bear creak passholders.
Interesting to see them scrambling to respond to the massive amounts of complaints they have gotten over their ticket pricing this season. Talk about a cluster fuck. They actually had people buying tickets on their phones at the lift window because they wouldn't ring up an 8 hour ticket for them and they were telling them about an all day pass that isn't available.
I think every facebook post they make basically turns into people bitching about tickets in the comments lol. Probably going to want to get that fixed or people are going to go else where.

I was up at Boulder on Sat. Conditions were very good and the park setup was excellent and fairly empty early but got pretty crowded up later. Over all a really fun day.
-
5 minute lift wait times? Oh my.... At Boulder I didn't have to wait behind 5 people let alone 5 minutes
Was way more than 5 minutes. Lift worker said they were understaffed which is why it wasn't running...not really sure how that happens on a holiday weekend.
Snow was good, park was fun but got annoying later in the day with people hiking and sitting on features. Lift lines sucked until Burma was running....longest wait was right around 16 minutes. Ended up lapping the park using Vista chair for a good part of the morning to miss the line up. Rode from 8:30 till around 2, probably would have stayed longer but didn't want to buy another ticket.
Over all a pretty fun day...not sure if it was worth the price with the terrain they have open over going to Boulder though.
-
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised they didn't get open at least yesterday. I stopped by to grab my pass and they have plenty of snow and aren't going to get a chance to make any more between now and Tuesday. Oh well, still pretty sweet for them to open this early.
-
Can't Bear creek be open for skiing and riding when they have events???
Yep, they are all the time.
-
a possibility of 8" of snow should not make a difference in whether they open or not... Natural snow does not add to the base nearly as quickly as man made snow, unfortunately.
Very true, but they still have a good amount of snow piled up as well. And a few chances to blow in the next week or so. We'll see, anything pre-xmas at BC is a bonus.

Called up there yesterday and they said they could possibly open this weekend if the weather cooperates and they get enough snow or can make enough but as of right now they do not think it will be possible. That said, the guy I spoke with said next weekend is what they are shooting for.
-
BB was a ton of fun this weekend. Park setup was legit for this early in the season. Snow was very good and crowds were surprising light. Great start to the local season.
-
i bet you didnt listen to Hard Knock Life Vol. 2 as a kid either right?
Why wouldn't I...that is a good album.
-
ok, im glad i know you are a liar and a dishonest person. what other things have you posted on here that have been un-true?
Sorry for having good taste in music and not doing it all for the nookie.
-
so you didnt listen to Limp Bizkit when you were younger?
Hell no.
-
limp bizkit was more relevant than U2 from like 1998-2004
Limp Bizkit was never relevant.
-
sounds about right.
They didn't have much on love or big boulder park today when I was there. It was all over on freedom
How was it? Probably heading up this afternoon.

Mostly likely shooting back up to VT this weekend to avoid the opening weekend shit shows.

I don't know. I hate to be the downer, but if I've learned anything about bear creek the past 7 years as a passholder, it's that they are more interested in ticket sales than opening early for passholder and maube a small percentage of ticket sales. I'd love to see them open thankagiving, and I'm not putting it past them, I just can't see it happening.
They would get a ton of ticket sales opening Thanksgiving weekend, not just season pass holders. Every mountain would. Like toast said, during the early season people come out in droves to get on the snow.
Based on the forecast I would think 1st or 2nd week in Dec is more realistic though.
-
Not gonna haopen. Bear could have that mountain open sunday but they won't do it I'm guessing they won't open until around December 7-10th. Theres no money to be made before that time as everyone who goes will be a pass holder. It would be nice if they opened black friday, but I doubt they will.
If they have the snow they would open for Thanksgiving weekend...that's a money maker of a weekend.

They are blowing now.
