AtomicSkier Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I pulled into the lot around 2:35, bought my ticket, and booted up. I was really impressed with all the natural snow around JFBB, including on the turnpike, several inches at least. I booted up and started walking towards the lifts. I saw a lone SUV in the parking lot, and saw a familiar person walking away from it. None other then BigDaddyK. We sampled a little of everything at BB. Fresh cord for the first two runs, then started to break up into a nice surface. A few runs later I saw someone where almost the exact same thing as me, though, I was lacking an orange helmet. It was PASR's own gdthomas. Ken and I did skied mostly BB Trail. Ken was only planning on doing an hour session as he had some stuff to do, but he ended up staying a little longer. Did 12 runs with him, and then two by myself, and then met up with homeboys Trev, Justo, and Dan, as well as Dan's friend. Did a few runs with them down BB Trail exporing the sides. They seemed to really enjoy the tree pillow that Justo had found After a few runs they headed over to the park. By 5 the sun was finally down enough that the lights actually worked, so I could finally see what I was skiing on. I did a quick few laps down BB trail and then left. Overall a VERY nice thanksgiving-eve ski session good for 25 runs. Conditions were very nice, JFBB really puts out a quality product. It's a shame Blue opens on friday Happy thanksgiving everyone!

I was glad I went, since Thursday will be a slacking day. I still think that Merry Widow, on the right side, had the best snow. I almost wanted to do a few more laps, on Widow, after my last run. I think this will be the last day of the season on my short skis...I'm tired of sliding turns. It was worth the 12 runs and 96000 vert .

AtomicSkier Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Was I there the other days? No but you acted surprised like $25 was a sudden change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 for what was open it was alot Yes and no. They actually have a decent amount open, and it's the only game in PA. $25 for freedom and little boulder was alot on Friday night, but now they've got a decent amount of terrain open.

method9455 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 for what was open it was alot Should they pro-rate per acre? If camelback is charging $10 for 1 trail, and boulder is charging $25 for 4, who has the better deal? I have no problem with $25, for me the ticket at the end is incidental compared to the cost in time of getting free to go so they could be charging full price and if I could go I would. I remember back when I was in high school and couldn't afford to spend any money skiing aside from my season pass and I can understand if that is the situation, but then you don't have a season pass to JFBB and it is not a surprise they are open early so you kind of have to deal with it or wait until the mountain you do have a pass to opens.

method9455 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 $17.50 would have been an appropriate price I hope you are not serious with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
