things are looking pretty good for me on sunday. hopefully getting my weekend project done before the weekend. we'll hook up in the AM, (i think you might be pretty easy to find with the little one) We should come up with a time we all meet up for lunch, a little meet and greet with everyone that can make it up for hot dogs and beenie weenies. i am hoping it doesnt take too much arm twisting for Dom to make it out. Dom? Dom? you there?

i will most likely be up sunday as well.

the season pass party is sunday march 15th, not saturday. dont know how i got saturday in there earlier. that may work out better for me anyways.

actually RSVP was due yesterday, the 9th. (i didnt even notice you had to RSVP) like sarah said, send them an email or phone today, and i bet they wont turn you down. RSVP by March 9, 2009 Reservations are a MUST! Please call 570-443-8425 extension 2070 or e-mail groupsales@jfbb.com

saturday is also the season passholders "appreciation day" or whatever. season passholders get lunch, but can also get 2 guest lift tickets with lunch for $20 each. its actually a good deal considering i ate lunch at BB saturday and it was $9.50 for sandwich and fries.

12,000 people sounds kinda crowded.

didnt mean to offend anyone. i just think 10,000 people is alot of people to be sharing the lifts with. i honestly have no idea how many people attend any mountain on any given weekend day.

10,000 people on the wekends? whoa. arent the lift lines kinda long? i think camelback would love to have 4000 people on a weekeday. and, oh yeah, isnt it camelback that is letting people ski for free now? theres a money maker for sure.

i have a feeling they made more than $36000, but what do i know, i'm just an asshole from Philly who brought his own beer. kudos to JFBB for putting on such an event. crowded, yes, but well worth the price of admission.

thats awesome of the good folks over at jfbb. i will now stop whining about having to buy my season pass so early this year to get the good price. count me in for another season at jfbb. thanks for the response heather.

im in for sunday

top of east mountain 8:30?

8:30 top of east mountain chair? maybe a later meeting time as well for others?

looks like i will be there. hoping to be there at 8. meeting time/place?

i put saturday in the top 5 of best days at frost this year. conditions were really perfect, the snow and weather was spot on. it was good skiing with you guys. those pictures arent even close to showing how steep "the elevator" is. its crazy steep. trees are cool....

thats good to hear....i think they did a real nice job last friday night, i thought conditions were really good last sat vs. last friday. keep up the good work BDK, i wont be able to make it up this weekend, but definetly next weekend. maybe you could wave your magic wand around alittle next week to get them to make snow then too?

my bad - they are offering current pass holders a discount, i was holding my secret decoder ring upside down when reading thier chart. i do wish they would extend that date some, i do like to pay for my pass early, but early to me is like june.

thats a pretty nice deal, if you dont already have a season pass. its ashame JFBB is more concerned about selling new customers a season pass, where as current season pass holders get no benefit. with the economy circling the drain like it is, i would think they would want to retain current customers, and get new ones. example - current season pass holders can purchase a season pass for $449 up to november 1, 2009. or - give current pass holders a couple bucks off if purchased before april 30th. dont give me anymore free passes though, i would rather have a cheaper pass with no freebies attached to it. my friends and family can fuel thier own habits as far as i am concerned. i like JFBB, but it would be nice if they did something to thank their loyal customers. just my thoughts.

do you really think they are going to have a parking lot attendant outside selling lift tickets as you come in? i really dont think so. i can be wrong though.

kathy orr from channel 6 says possible snow for next week, stay tuned more at 6 pm.

toe warmers are awesome, i really wouldnt be able to ski more than a hour below 30 degrees without them. they really do work. and yes, it is 7 degrees in albrightsville right now.

hoping for 10:30 or 11. but...certain conditions and exclusions apply.

i'll be there...but wont be able to get there until later. maybe i can catch up to some of you later in the day. wouldnt mind putting some faces to names.

about 1 1/2" of fresh powder on top of crushed ice chunks. not too bad i guess considering about 1/2" inch of ice they got wed. anything the machines cant get to has powder on top of a sheet of ice. be careful in the parking lot. roads are fine.

thats gonna leave a mark. snow in pocono lake, too.
