weedreimer Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Going into the second night here at big boulder PARK with snowmaking blasting away continuously since we lit up the guns late last night. Freedom approaching 24 hours of constant blowing, while LOVE was fired up tonight. More updates in the coming days... Edited November 24, 2015 by weedreimer
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 Thanks for the update and pics. Can you send us some pictures of the whales tomorrow?
poconoceancity Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 Blowing the base area and love park also. Maybe open with more than freedom?
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 Blowing the base area and love park also. Maybe open with more than freedom? I'm sure they'll open love park as well. Would be nice if they opened with a non park run.
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 I'm sure they'll open love park as well. Would be nice if they opened with a non park run.Would that be good enough for GSS to make an appearance?
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 Would that be good enough for GSS to make an appearance? Doubtful.
weedreimer Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Posted November 24, 2015 I'll keep you all posted with updates on opening. As soon as we know, you'll know on here. We just turned off the guns a little bit ago for the first time since Sunday night. Freedom ran through the day yesterday into last night with no grass showing when I did the morning run with our snowmakers. LOVE and our base area were fired up around 8:30pm last night. After walking down LOVE early this morning it would need a lot more nights to get it ready we're just working on getting the initial base down over there. This weather and upcoming forecast isn't making this easy to work with. Below are some photos from this morning... More to come as we figure things out here at the mountain. 3
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 Those snowmaking cannons are awesome. Welcome to PASR Weedreimer are you gonna be the JF/BB mountain rep on here?? Heather was before but she hasn't posted in awhile m 1
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 I'm guessing that first pic is of Freedom?
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 I'm guessing that first pic is of Freedom? I don't think so freedom has a lift that runs along the right side looking up.
JFskiDan Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 i think the first pic is Freedom. the lift is separated by a tree line. The second pic with 14 snowmaking devices in the span of 60' is definitely Freedom.

Heather was before but she hasn't posted in awhile m Yessir and thanks, stoked to join the community here! Heather is still with us but handles marketing, I was brought on last year as the photographer and this year as well as shooting photos I'll also be handling our communications, social, and assisting with marketing. To answer everyones question, all the shots I've posted so far are on Freedom or at the base of Freedom. Edited November 24, 2015 by weedreimer
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 Those are some nice little whales...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 Boo What are you booing they'll prob open this weekend.
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 If they want to be open this weekend I expect they will do a surprise opening tomorrow as they won't want to blow holiday weekend revenue on the ski for canned food thing
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 because we were hoping to go tomorrow Why were you thinking they'd open tomorrow with a holiday weekend coming up??? Maybe they'll surprise you guys. I'm thinking maybe $25-$35 for lift tickets at BB this weekend.
RidgeRacer Posted November 25, 2015 Report Posted November 25, 2015 If love park trail opens along with freedom I'm there.
phillycore Posted November 25, 2015 Report Posted November 25, 2015 If they want to be open this weekend I expect they will do a surprise opening tomorrow as they won't want to blow holiday weekend revenue on the ski for canned food thing THIS Has been their opening model the past few...
toast21602 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Posted November 25, 2015 Their business model has also been to donate to the local food bank the last few years too - I would be surprised if they didn't collect food for tickets.
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted November 25, 2015 Report Posted November 25, 2015 That is exactly my point. Surprise open today with tix for canned food. Then make real money on Friday to sunday.
Kyle Posted November 25, 2015 Report Posted November 25, 2015 I don't see them opening tonight. Friday is more likely if they even decide to open at all.
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 25, 2015 Report Posted November 25, 2015 I don't see them opening tonight. Friday is more likely if they even decide to open at all. Welcome back Kyle are you a cop now??
JFskiDan Posted November 25, 2015 Report Posted November 25, 2015 Temps look marginal for the next two weeks with some cold nights sprinkled in the mix. Should be an interesting call. I think we should know something soon.
