RidgeRacer Posted December 27, 2014 Report Posted December 27, 2014 Decided to skip Blue this morning and instead head to JF with my daughter. Arrived around 915ish and met up with JfDan and phillycore at the quad. It was Day 1 for me at frost this season and pretty shocked at the amount of snow they have (more than I had anticipated). Pretty much the entire mountain with the exception of East. Conditions were really nice. Things softened up as the day went on. Phillycore and I demo'd each others skis at one point and JfDan was loving life on his new shreditors. Overall a pretty awesome day today. If East is open next weekend I may be back. 3 Quote
JFskiDan Posted December 27, 2014 Report Posted December 27, 2014 nice day. spring skiing in December. Holy crap we need some cold weather and snow. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 27, 2014 Report Posted December 27, 2014 Nice report Ridge...do you have vouchers for JF? How were crowds? Quote
phillycore Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Taught my first lesson of the season....starting off early. East mtn by next Friday Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Taught my first lesson of the season....starting off early. East mtn by next Friday Do they already have snow down on east mountain??? Quote
phillycore Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Not much...word from the top is hoping to blow Tuesday - Thursday hopefully opening up east on Friday. Weather depending obviously Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Not much...word from the top is hoping to blow Tuesday - Thursday hopefully opening up east on Friday. Weather depending obviously Lets hope the forecast stays good...PoconoOceanCity is up there for another week and I hope he can ride the legendary east mountain!!!! Quote
phillycore Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 We all are starting to think Chris is a ghost, like R2. we have all yet to see him. I only know he's real bc I rode mtn bikes with him once... Quote
RidgeRacer Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Nice report Ridge...do you have vouchers for JF? How were crowds?My daughter had a freebie for making honor roll at school and I went assuming that I could use a CBS local voucher without reading the fine print about it not being valid on holiday weekend (doh!) so I paid for 1 ticket at the window for 2 people... still a good deal. It definitely wasn't a ghost town but it definitely wasn't your normal holiday Saturday either. Edited December 28, 2014 by RidgeRacer Quote
phillycore Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Why in the hell didn't you just use one of my friend passes...would've been $30 instead of window....c'mon brother weak sauce Quote
RidgeRacer Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Posted December 28, 2014 I honestly didn't known until the dude at the ticket window told me that I couldn't use it today. I may take you up on that later though. 1 Quote

phillycore Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 He was at big boulder yesterday and today.Boulder.....well that would explain it Quote
poconoceancity Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 I'll be at Boulder again tomorrow. My 7 year old is just starting on a board and I'm trying to get my 4 year old off the leash. I'll be at JF solo on Tuesday morning and there the rest of the week after that with the whole crew. Quote
phillycore Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 I don't think that I will be back up until possibly the 31/1 but most likely the 3rd. I would have my boys in tow so I'd be on easier/intermediate terrain....mostly Janes to demattes, although they like Ridge run / easy Rider as well... Quote
tnt Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Does JF seed bumps? If so, have they yet this year? last year there were some bumps on the skier's left side of exhibition. Gonna guess with this weather they have been grooming everything flat... Quote
JFskiDan Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 No bumps. The three trees you can ski around on challange are icy firmness. Exhibition is pretty much a wrod at this point. Very little base to speak of too. Snow is actually pretty decent today though. Quote
Barb Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 I'll be at Boulder again tomorrow. My 7 year old is just starting on a board and I'm trying to get my 4 year old off the leash. I'll be at JF solo on Tuesday morning and there the rest of the week after that with the whole crew. 7 is a good age. That is when my son started to board Quote
poconoceancity Posted January 1, 2015 Report Posted January 1, 2015 Hopefully she gets it this season barb. My 9 year old is in her 3rd season on a board and is finally linking turns and keeping up. Quote
