You have been making some very informative and helpful posts regarding JFBB operations. Who are you and what do you do at JFBB?

So, why don't you setup an unofficial PASR trip like you did for "gaper day"? I'm down for splitting travel and lodging.

If "Fluffy" (a.k.a. Brad Huff) says not HSQ, I guess it's not happening. I guess he should know, being a Lift Manager and Jesse Boyd's BFF.

Do you want to try to put together a group trip? I can drive, but I'm willing to split gas and tolls if someone else does. We can also split lodging. Is anyone else interested? Let me know.

I'd split travel & lodging with almost anyone to Mt. Snow. Even you Doug..... as long as you paid your way and was RESPECTFUL. I'd like to believe your're only a dick online.

A high school kid ("D") PM'd me for a ride last week and I had to turn them down because they were im the total opposite direction. So, I must not want want you have been "suggesting". Your suggestions sound like a case of "projection". Google it. I'd LOVE to meet you though, Doug.You going to BB would change my decision to end my season. I'd even meet you at 476.

That's round-trip. But, thanks for the pep talk. If you took a ride with me you'd realize how funny your post was. How long of a drive round trip for you? Are you going today? How about a report this weekend from somebody?

How are/were the conditions at Big Boulder this weekend? How about a report on the terrain parks? Anything new or changed from last week? What's the size of the jumps now & how are the lips and landings? Thanks for any information.

3 hour drive for 1 jump? 1 jump per run? I don't think so. Besides, I was told that BB's conditions sucked today & it's not worth hitting this weekend? Can anyone else give a condition report? Any changes or new features?

Love park being closed is just plain STUPID and REALLY pisses me off. Love's jumps were between 15ft and 30ft (according to park crew) and were a good size for anyone..... especially someone like me who doesn't want to hit stuff as big as Boulder park. The new "mini" park SUCKS compared to Love & Freedom.

Then re-open Love park with a few medium sized jumps. Boulder is too big for some and the other park is a joke for jumps. There is a TON of snow left on Love and I can't understand why it was closed in the first place.

I know. I usually hit the enter key after most sentences in my posts because it's easier to read that way. Some people bust my balls on here for doing it. So, I thought it was funny that a professional writer does the same thing. It's no big deal. Just an inside joke.

Cool article. Nice to see PA represented. I know it makes it easier to read, but what's with hitting the enter key after every sentence in that article? : What does that professional writer think he is, a poet ?????? :

Nice pics.

Anyone want to do a trip(s) to Vermont ver the next few weeks? (Mt Snow?) I'd want to do it cheaply and split travel and lodging. I did a trip last week with a few people to the US Open @ Stratton. We rented a house, everyone got their own bed, and the total cost for travel and lodging was $100 a person.If anyone is interested, post in here or feel free to PM me.

I am a pussy. I am a pussy. I am a pussy. I am a pussy. I am a pussy. You happy now? Not much more I can say. I know I have ZERO excuses. I was easily clearing everything in Love, Un Blanco Gulch, and the small/ medium parks at Stratton this year. But, Boulder park just freaks me out.

I'm not pissed dude. You read me wrong. I was calling myself a pussy. I know you were just being helpful. Sorry for the confusion.

It's roped off and it looks like the jumps have been "modified". I didn't want to poach the run and risk getting booted. Also, with my dumb luck I'd "Sonny Bono" myself and no one would know I was out there.

I know dude. I'm being a total pussy. The 1st jump on Boulder is no bigger than what I've been hitting all year. But, looking at it gives me vertigo because there is NOTHING after the lip in your line of sight but the lake and the houses a 1/4 mile away. I feel like I'm jumping off a cliff as I approach and I pull off. Feel free to call me a pussy. I deserve it. I should have hit Boulder park earlier in the season when I was riding with friends. What little balls I have left dissapears when I ride solo. It's all BS excuses, but it's the something about the garde angle of Boulder park that freaks me out too. I know if I spread those same jumps out on a run like Love Park I could clear them fine. I did like the jumps at Blue. I just prefer them spread out more. I think I need more time between jumps to focus and relax. I don't know. I LOVE the jump line at Breckenridge because there was so much space between jumps and the grade/steepness of the run was mellow. I was riding Un Blano Gulch at Mt Snow last week and it also had space in between and medium steepness.

I posted in the "roll call", but I wanted a thread for this topic in the JFBB forum. There is a TON of snow left on Love park. You can easily get there from the Boulder Park lift that is running. The jumps on Boulder are bigger than many feel comfortable hitting. The new mini-park on Bunny Schuss has 2 excuses for "jumps" and they both SUCK. I like hitting small and medium sized jumps all day and the current setup is letting riders like me down in a BIG way. It's true. Boulder park ROCKS if you are comfortable with BIG jumps. If you are into rails and boxes, the Plaza and Bunny Schuss has them. But, Big Boulder is letting down the people that are looking for well built small and meduim jumps.

Ok, I'll take the bait. I'm not coming to NYC tomorrow unless I'm hitting the NYC auto show. But, f you are in the Philly area, let me know where you are at and I'll carpool with you if you need a ride. I wasn't planning on going back to Big Boulder this year after today. But, I'm feeling like a major pussy for not hitting the jump line on Boulder.

I was REALLY pissed off that Big Boulder closed Love park! Especially when you can clearly SEE all the snow they had left on Love. I really like Love PArk because there is some space to ride between features and I thought it all had a nice flow. Even Freedom was fun when the 2 "jumps" were actually maintained. Although the jumpline in Boulder Park is huge, the risk isn't worth the reward for me to hit the jumps. (I'm a pussy) Also, I didn't like the mini park they built on Bunny Schuss because the "jumps" sucked. I loved sessioning between Love and Freedom when the jumps were maintained in both parks and is the whole reason I bought my season pass and kept going back. Do you think anything can be done to get JFBB to open Love back up?

I'd like to hire a camera guy to film some of my runs on Love park this weekend. It would be a joke for the guys who compete, but I'm curious to see what the hell I look like when I hit the jumps.

Honestly, I don't give a shit what you guys talk about......as long as some PASR's show up and hit the parks at BB this weekend. If I watched Slapshot before a night of drinking with my boys, we'd end up getting rowdy. I'll stick to Old School. "So GOOD when it hits your lips!!!!"
