its like having Skip Bayless or Stephen A Smith post on here

I am Blue pass holder and have zero interest in JF/BB or getting an Epic pass because of it. If it had been Blue that they purchased it would have been a no brainer.

Always enjoy the poor takes that Ski2Grind brings to PASR

I’m willing to bet most blue passholders are not going to leave blue to ski jfbb just because of the epic pass

Hot cocoas for both of them then!

It sucks when vail buys an already popular western resort, but I see this as being nothing but good for JFBB passholders. Its not like vail passholders are going to make the pilgrimage to jack frost to ski the elevator.

I'm all for less crowds at Blue, but i dont think JFBB will see an overwhelming increase at all. I sort of think we already covered this. The average every weekend skier with an occasional trip out west will not leave Blue/CB to go ski Frost every weekend so they can go ski 2 days at Breck on the Epic pass. The average Joe that might buy 3-5 day passes at Blue/Toe/JFBB etc that wants to ski some resorts north or west, and is content with skiing the resorts on the pass, this is really who i see buying this. Not everyone lets their skiing experience be dictated by whats on this pass or that pass. I could probably make use of the epic pass, i am particularly interested in CB this year, and there are some others that i might go to, but they arent tops on my list. It would take a power outage at Blue or some other act of God to skip Blue for JFBB.....maybe night skiing at Boulder with just the right conditions, like new snow, and free cookies or something. Keep in mind, i was a passholder at JFBB when i the late season pass sale thing.....i never went back that year. Blue has its issues too, dont get me wrong, but there is a point when you have to admit JFBB bores your face off.

So through a little www research, it seems like to make your peak pass epic, you have to pay to play. (Imagine that). So to go epic, it looks like its the difference between what you paid for your peak pass, and $939(cost to be epic). So, the less you paid for your peak pass, the more you pay to make yourself epic. I think the people down at liberty etc are just going to lose their shit next year when just the local pass for them is even more than the peak pass was. They got shafted by peak, and it looks like they will bend over even further for vail. Thats a funny area down there. I think most of them just want to ski their little local hill and be left alone. The question is, how much influence will vail have at the 5 PA resorts for day to day operations? Or will vail just kind of take a “just dont burn the place down, ok?” stance and let them sort of run the way they have been? (Mostly applies to JFBB, since the other three were new to peak last year) the interesting stat that we will never know is, how many PA peak passholders upgrade to epic.

They need to hire Fluffy as CFO

Advanced skiers aren't going to leave their home mountain and go to crappy JFBB hills because of being able to ski out west on the pass. They will ski decent PA terrain and Blue and pay to ski out west like they always have.
