Anyone know Michele from Monroe Twp NJ? They had an accident on 80 coming back from Boulder yesterday - apparently everyone is OK. Weren't wearing seatbelts though and got ejected from the car.

Are there any stores in NEPA that stock racing boots besides Nestors? Thx

I like (or liked) the bumps not the roller coasters. My third run down Floyds Sunday my downhill ski tail caught an edge on the soft stuff in front of a mogul, I rotated over the ski and ripped up my knee pretty bad. Fortunately I had a rossi binding with a turntable heel, so the heel released, but not before the tibia fractured, ruptured a muscle on the distal side, and probably did a job on the ligaments (waiting for an MRI right now). Looks like my ski season ended early.

So are they ever going to groom the snowgun mounds off of Thunderbolt and the bottom of Floyds? And Demattes was left like a roller coaster ride. Its one thing to leave a fresh snowfall ungroomed, but to blow snow in giant piles and leave it there is another thing. Did Peak fire all the snocat drivers?

If a couple of people have season passes do all need to go to the window or can one person get lift tickets for all the passes?

They have snow fans on Challenge, the parks and beginner slopes. None that I saw on Exhibition, Demattes or Thunderbolt - I didn't go over to check on the east mountain.

Sounds like the people owning homes in the Big Boulder development are getting shafted by Peak. If they want to spend a weeks vacation at their condo they have to drive over to JF to go skiing, and how are they going to rent out their condo if there is no skiing in the area?

Whats with BB's new posted hours - opening at 3pm on weekdays and closing at 8 on Sundays? Are they trying to exclude local skiers?

We are in JFs race program, and bought 4 season passes last year. Now JF is more expensive than Blue Mountain (no high speed lifts at JF, half the drop of BM) - and the season pass change shows a real contempt for their season pass holders - are all the race kids supposed to wait in line for a day pass every day? Do all four of us have to wait in line every day after paying almost $1200 for season passes? Do you imagine they will keep a window dedicated for season pass holders open all day? No more parking, no more meal discount, no store discount - BM is looking better and better. Is Jack Frost going to open up all slopes the first day with their new snowmaking? I'll believe it when I see it.

I was there the weekend before last, and they had had a big dump of snow the week before so they had a lot of cover. The temps were in the 30s at top and 50s at bottom, so it was extremely slushy on the bottom runs and nice and soft on the top runs. It sounds like it iced up last weekend.
