Heather-Big Boulder Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Just in from the GM of Jack Frost: "We will be making snow @ JF. We will make snow Thursday night and again on Friday night to have fresh powder in the trees on Challenge and fresh cord on the slopes for the weekend. This will set us up for several weeks of great skiing/riding. Please let "bigdaddyk " know he will get his wish!"

JFBBMomski Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Sweet! Who knew BDK had so much power over the powers that be at JF? Lovesit. Looks like it will be JAWIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Wow, BDK you are the man. I have to say after riding at JF all season instead of BB, I definitely like it over there better. Longer trails and more challenging ones. On an unrelated topic...since the powers that be read this board I have a question. Why did they do away with every day pass validation for the race team next year and change it to a direct access pass only? I know its only another $100 bucks but I am not going to get direct access passes for myself or my other son. I imagine the rest of the race team parents won't spring for them either so we will all be getting daily tickets at the window anyway. Just wondering. But we do love that program and it has been well worth the money this season. The coaches are great and the fun races with the medals given out are great too.

GolfingOwl Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 They should let one trail bump up. I like JF (my third favorite PA mountain behind Elk and Sno), especially because of their liberal tree policy. All they need is a run that always has bumps, or even better, let half of a run bump up. Then they would get the most out of their limited terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on the liberal tree skiing policy and the fact that they blow snow in there makes me keep coming back there compared to closer mountains... They were letting exhibition bump up on one side there for a little while earlier in the season and last year they let floyd's bump up...

I'm still debating it but leaning JFBB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFBBMomski Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 The left side of Exhibition is nice and bumped up. My kids had a blast on it on Monday. I hope they leave it that way for the rest of the year. I have to say we've been real happy with the conditions all season at JF. We've been up every weekend but one and have always found good to great conditions on mountain. Can't believe it's almost over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow is nicer, the terrain is more diverse, they open first, close last, and the price point makes it worth the extra drive... Looks like JFBB for me and my son and I can always use some vouchers to help out some of my homies from Blue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 ... Can't believe it's almost over. We still got a way to go, probably 4 or more weeks at Frost and Mid-April for BB. Plus the Catskills, VT etc. well into April. I'm not ready for the season to end yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaddyk Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Temps this Monday night and Tuesday night look ideal. Light them up again. Exhibition and Tbolt could use a little help in certain spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillycore Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I like the new add Ski with the Big Guns..First to Open..Last to Close!!!!! They just need to stand behind it now, but so far they haven't disappointed so I doubt they will start now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
