Erin808 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Are there any early season discounts or coupons for Big Boulder? I know some of the mountains are doing half price but I haven't seen anything for BB. I really want to go this weekend and hate paying full price for early season conditions.
AtomicSkier Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Are there any early season discounts or coupons for Big Boulder? I know some of the mountains are doing half price but I haven't seen anything for BB. I really want to go this weekend and hate paying full price for early season conditions. BB offered discounts earlier in the season, but now they're full price (as of last Friday). On that note, conditions are hardly "early season" at Big Boulder. Conditions are amazing, and they have a decent amount of terrain open. On a side note, Blue Mountain is still offering 1/2 price lift tickets.
TT C6 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Blue has pre-season conditions so they have to charge half price. Big Boulder has mid-season conditions that is why they are charging mid-season prices. A group of our members took that 1/2 price deal at Blue over the better conditions at Big Boulder this weekend.. I heard that was a big mistake. I guess 2 people having their boards stolen at Blue was just icing on the cake. Look on the bright side, buy a season pass at JFBB now and the early and late season conditions will pay for itself.

ectobar Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Good to hear conditions are good at BB. I was just hoping there was some sort of discount out there I think you could save a couple bucks buying your tickets at Buckmans. I know they used to have some deals, havent looked into it this year though so you might want to call first.
Saurus Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 i thought lift tickets at biggy b were only 25 still?
JibHonk Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) after 3 they are and be ready for the new 1.00 toll in and out of boulder Edited December 3, 2008 by JibHonk
jordan Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 after 3 they are and be ready for the new 1.00 toll in and out of boulder $1.00? it used to be 25 cents... also, you can avoid it by going 115 to 903... Jordan
JibHonk Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 yah its a buck now cuz they made a new toll booth for no reason but i digress is the 115 to 903 longer?
Justin Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) It's a buck to go through Split Rock from 940, but like Jordan said you can just go down to 115 where the Wawa is to avoid it. If you're taking I-80 from the turnpike then you avoid it completely.... It's not much longer, definitely not worth a buck Edited December 3, 2008 by Justin
jordan Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 the only reason to actually go through split rock is if you are coming from the west on 940, (which is dumb anyway, just hop on 80 by the turnpike).. or if you are coming from Jack Frost. In those cases, it is a shorter distance through split rock, but it takes about the same time either way because the speed limit is 25 through split rock.
Tyler Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 i get off the turnpike and hop right on 80 east, faster than both of those ways
Kyle Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 i go turnpike to fairyland to overlook up by penns peak all the way to boulder

motoxpete Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 If i'm coming from jf I'll go threw split rock n pay the toll... going strait to bb from the turnpike I deff just avoid the toll and take 80
JibHonk Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 yah that holler for a dollar old man isnt even nice about he hates his jobs and publicly displays it i rolled on him smoking a cigar once and he's just like put the quarter on the window edge mad funny yo
Robert2 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 I really want to go this weekend and hate paying full price for early season conditions. I went today. Conditions are great , same as mid winter. Groomed hardpack. Wear armor. Real slick and real fast. The dollar toll road is misleading. Its no short cut. Time is what you rate a short cut by. By the clock, not by the mile, it takes 11 minutes to get get from the entrance of Jack Frost on route 940 to get to the Lake Harmony entrance on route 903 if you ride the "long way" around by going to 115 then 903. If you do the speed limit on the dollar toll road it takes 11 minutes to get from 940 to 903. So its the same amount of time. Save the buck. Also note that 940, 115 and 903 are state highways with salting and snow removal plans while the Lake Harmony toll road has no great snow plan and you will get stuck on hills by Split Rock lodge and the Lake Harmony lodge. Been there. It sucked.
TT C6 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 Did ya ever notice some people will take the opposite position on ANYTHING you post just to be a dick?
