Ride the eastern ice

From what I heard, they are still planning on have a couple parks. I think they are still putting it on merry widow. I tend to agree with you on that point. Personnally I liked it on tbaum but it would be interesting to try it at least once on merry widow.

Yes, But BB still has some talented snowcat peeps and a PAID park crew who are descent people. And we still have the killer rails they made. I'm sorry to see them go, but I guess it is what it is. Good Luck Guys, It was a pleasure having you turn the mountain arround and raise the bar in this area, even if it was for a little bit.

Didn't see anything towards the bottom. Merry Widow was sceduled to be shut down yesterday to setup the park. Who knows, hope it is setup soon.

To be honest, JFBB has been a somewhat stagnant mountain in the past. Peak has done the most improvement I've ever seen on those mountains. Yes, there is a ton of things changing. Some of the changes I like, some I don't. I've heard allot of ideas thrown around but allot of these ideas have been changed, dropped, incorporated, etc. The point is that the are in a growth stage and unfortunately that may mean staff changes, price increases, park passes or whatever else they feel will make the mountain work. Keep in mind that changes are not always permanent. If it doesn't work, they'll change it back or to something else they see to be a better fit. Peak is experienced with resorts, but new to this area. It will take time for them to see what the demographics call for. What I meant, is instead of getting everyone worked up, wait till everyone finds out on their own then say "what can we do about this".

CHILL..... All will be said in due time. In the meanwhile, stop sturring the pot, your going to really piss people off. ADMINS Please delete all threads out of the respect for others!!!!

I wonder if JF and BB will be open tomarrow. It's supposed to rain.

I found one yesterday that looks like it slid off. I think when the adhesive gets cold it looses the stickyness. I am putting mine in my pocket for now on.

no, they still have the metal wickets. I did notive while putting the pass on this year that adhesive on the back of the ticket was not sticking real well. Alot of times I've found passes on the groud they usually are because people A. put the wicket on upside down or B. has a zipper handle attached. a couple times I've found ripped ones. Usually by rails.

I got scanned several times last year at MC I am at Big boulder more then frost. so BB is first, reguardless of how the say it.

It's not just the PITA ticket validation that bugs me. I don't like the fact that my full name is printed in big bold letters. And if I had kids, that would bother me even more. IF ANYONE AT BOULDER IS READING THIS, PLEASE PRINT A PASS NUMBER INSTEAD OF THE PERSONS NAME.... hell, just ditch the validation and get a hand scanner for lift attendants like MC has.

hmm..... ....sensing a couple of people calling off sick...... It would be odd if they opened on a monday instead of a weekend. I don't believe they ever opened early or mid week before. Hopefully they will, but well see.

There are about 20+ kind 8 and up I can think about that are up there almost every day. Everyone up there is usually chilled. Locals preatty much look out for each other.

It's not really negative but true. Every resort has growing pains when starting. Montage is a great mountain but was highly mismanaged. It has plenty of potential that hopefully Sno will take advantage of, but it will take some time for reorganization. BBJF looked at buying that mountain several years ago but Montage wanted a large sum of money and also wanted BBJF to pick up the debt. As you see, it was too high of a price. Personally I wish all the mountaints in the area would get togeather and do a combined resort season pass like the have out in Colorado.

He is prob. used to a desparate mountain that was tring to attract people to recover a deep deep debt by discounting tickets. (yes the old Mountage) Gee, wonder why they were in debt.?.? Boulder is really stepping it up this year, just buy a season pass. It'll probobly take a couple years before Sno (new owner of Mountage) catches up to any of the resorts in the area. BB Snowmakers
