So I was excited today to see that they built a progressive jump line on Turkey Trot again. Good job!!! Unfortunately in the 10 seconds I had to decide wtf is this in front of me after the 2nd jump I decided to hit it like a jump and landed a weak estimate I would say 18ft+ to total flatness and oooch did that hurt the ankles. I know I should have scoped it out before I hit it especially since there was no paint on it signifying it is not a lip but man is that dangerous. Total rider error not looking before you leap my fault. Remember to practice SMART STYLE folks Is that supposed to be a monster roller right there or is it an unfinished jump?

If it's significantly more I will but I doubt it would be more than an inch or less difference How is blue typically on a weekend storm day? Does the snow hold off the majority of the crowds an extra hour or so in travel time?

MMMm lookin pretty good so far. I hope that 6-12 ends up covering the whole state by Friday

I have no qualms about the nile being changed to a blue. It's an easy trail but the dip at the end is steep and it has rollers and what not, it's a reasonable rateing change. Bailey and Sullivan's on the other hand is a joke of a change. I didn't notice a new entrance other than if your coming down from a steep you can get into it from the top. That doesn't help much for the little guys just wanting to feel what sliding a feature is like to enter from the top since they likely would not be riding steeps. If there is another opening other than the steeps that lets them in from the top thats great I'm glad I juts haven't noticed. As far as I can remember that turn gets rutted out no matter what it's inevitable it's just so sharp but yes traffic may have increased. I don't ride on weekends because I'm fortunate enough to be able to make it up weekday afternoons. Maybe to solve this problem when its super busy on the weekends they can check passes from the lift and block that entrance. On weekdays when traffic is not an issue allow access from the top.

Accuweather is currently saying 8-12" Friday night for Tannersville....... probably just one of those screw up reports since it's not reporting the same for Stroudsburg but......................

Is that the wifey Robert2?

On a positive note. Thank you for allowing access to the park from the top so you can ride it from a top to bottom run, major improvement IMO. Good job actually adding some reasonably progressive features to the progression park but seriously look at what you did. The entrance is below the first 2 features. There's another option for an entrance right at the bottom of King Tut use that instead so people enter from the top and not the middle.

Nu uh, I don't buy it. Atomic Skier is right noobs will always shoot for "diamond trails" just to say they did it. Ever search a mountain on youtube? There's more videos of noobs "conquering" diamonds then park video or anything else. Weekend warriors love to be able to go back home and say ya we skied black diamonds all weekend we're so crazy and good. Any way you slice it or dice it, those trails are obviously not black and make a mockery of the trail rating system therefore it's a marketing scheme to claim more expert terrain. If it was true that they aren't hung up on trail count why not eliminate those trails and just label them as part of the Asp & Rocket. That would better fit with your plan to attempt to keep trail map looking beginners away, but that would make for 2 less trails on the map never going to happen my friend because they are hung up on marketed trail counts/variety. They even count the Tubing Park as the 35th trail now on their new map lol....

Last Friday wasn't busy at all waited no more than 2 min for a lift but most of the time just ride right onto a chair.

What did he do that people hate him so much?

There's headwalls in challenge glades? It was a little icey in some of the bumps but nothing to bad and the next bump over would catch you if you slipped out Friday. I will definitely be returning to Jackson Frost after the next snowfall in PA I enjoyed it mucho.

lol Shaun White. "I just wanted to see what that blue dye tasted like"

I did the same thing, I woke up late so I hustled to get out of the house didn't think of throwing your # in my phone. I had a black bandana over my face and mirrored goggles, green pants, black jacket w/ faint trail map design on it. Lapped mostly the double chair all the way to skiers right and the tripple.

I had no problem riding Challenge glades top to bottom Friday.

Jackson Frost is the shiznit, I just wish the lifts moved a little faster.

I seen that the monskier x was sick. So much credit to those skiers.

I could be seeing things but I could of sworn I just seen TT C6 poaching the money booter during mens slopestyle right before commercial break

Wowzers crazy slopestyle course!

Im guessing he chats on an instant messenger very often.

Was very nice today, I didn't end up getting up there until 1pm and stayed to last chair. Dressed like an astronaut had a great time but hurt my bum a little trying to get steezy in ONE park

That's exactly what they did. They were green in the past but they made them black just so they could advertise more "expert" terrain lol. Although I noticed they did expand the progression terrain park onto a sliver of the John Bailey trail which maybe their justification for that but Sullivans Trail is still a green labeled black.

Thanks for the update. Weather permitting may I suggest JF cover the slopes in man made pow goodness Thursday night for the radio promo Friday

Mmmm looks like that may potentially hit New England, not us though? I plan to head up north the next major storm.

I'm hoping since winter has returned JF along with everyone else will fire up their guns full blast and the wind will carry some over into the glades
