Looks nice.

Boulder is great for early risers. Probably 90% of the regulars sleep till ten, head to the mountain at 11, hang in the lot till 12 and then head towards the lift.

According to Facebook boulder is closed this week.

I was there both days for a morning session, left about noon on both days. Saturdays snow resembled Blue's surface from Friday, just on a little smaller scale. Sunday the snow was real nice. Snow drift was fun to play in, as long as you could imagine the trees being there. Attendance was definitely nothing spectacular. maybe the afternoon/evening was better, but i never waited in a line.

 

bunny swish should be open this weekend. They opened Upper Skidmark Sunday, which is the trail that connects Love to Freedom.

 

It seems as though they are using fan guns only to make snow. Progress seems a little slow just using the fan guns.

 

Overheard the girl on the phone tell someone Frost would be open Saturday. hopefully they hit it hard last week, From the pics i have seen, the ski school area looks deep. They were blowing on Challange as well.

[RidgeRacer]

Ahh yes. The trees on snowdrift. I remember those

Anyone know which chairlifts here are the triples? Is there a triple to the top? I need a triple or bigger lift to ski with two young girls.

the chair for big boulder trail is a triple. Far left looking at the mtn from the base.

Looks like Camelback may be the last to close in PA. Per BB...

 

"This is no joke big boulder PARK will be open this weekend! And it is going to be SICK-park CREW is rebuilding everything!! NEW setups, old setups and adding as many rails, boxes and jumps as they can! This is going to be an EPIC closing weekend so don't miss it!"

 

Despite the fact that the above actually has me wanting to take 15 bucks and use it to donate to the snooki for president campaign rather than spend it there this weekend, sucks to hear that they're closing.

Thanks for the info about the triples. How much non-Park skiing is there still at BB?

Doesn't sound like it based on their last communication. Sounds like one giant park for this weekend.

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

Called and spoke to guest services, they wlil be 100% open including non-park trails, Weather permitting I will take my girls out for their 8th day on skis, and last this season, on Saturday.

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

Have fun!!!

 

Thanks, wish I could meet many of you folks at the close out party for Blue, but to ski with kids it is hard to beat the $15 lifts and $15 rentals BB is offering for Saturday, and this should be ample challenge for them (so far they have been to Spring and Shawnee)

You really don't were actually pretty terrible people.....LOL

[toast21602]

Yup and I make it a point to swear and be crude around young children.

I've heard that.

Fun day with the kids at BB Saturday. There was talk at the mountain that they hope to reopen for a one day "May Day" special the first Saturday in May with discount tix (I believe past years have been $10). That would mean they were open for nearly 6 months in 7 calendar months. Wonder when the last time a PA hill pulled off that feat.

 

I'm guessing if they do open it will be pretty limited. Anyone experience one of these days in past years and care to comment?

if you don't ride park, don't go. Unless they've got an epic amount of snow to have more than 2 trails open, everything will be filled with features and will be mobbed. Turning is pointless. Oh, and it's a really fun day!

its a drunk fest, not a place for kids

QFT and personal experience.

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

Thanks for the heads up. Would have been considering taking the kids, who are still itching for more skiing after their day 8, if it has seemed suitable.

like I said earlier, unless they post that they'll have a dedicated non-park trail, it's absolutely not a safe environment to take young children. It's a total free for all, and I and every other person who enjoys riding park thanks you for not putting your kids in harms way.

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

Understood, that's why I check.
