Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 7, 2020 Report Posted December 7, 2020 Reservations required and being accepted now. While generally you can only reserve at one Epic Mt per day - a single reservation will be good to ski both JF and BB (as with their interchangable lift tix in past seasons). A positive development as I had read earlier reports that you would have to reserve for one or the other - so this is nice for those who want the better day time skiing at JF and somewhere to continue skiing after 4. I have seen rumors that BB is not going to have as much of a park focus as before. We shall see. Quote
Justo8484 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Posted December 7, 2020 I was up there on Saturday and there was no snow. They must have some very favorable temps right now. Quote

Certainly 6 days is ample time to get something open if theybhace the weather- and they typically have colder weather there than Blue (who are making snow for a tentative Friday opening) as they are at higher altitude. 1 Quote

Well, it looks like it takes a full year for a resort to get fully Vailed. This was from FB 2 days ago - Author JFBB Hi Jonathan. As of right now, our projected opening day for Jack Frost is 12/11 and 12/4 for Big Boulder. We will do our best to hit those dates but we rely on Mother Nature to provide us with snowmaking temps so that we can do so. Now, heres the thing. I havent seen one social media post about making snow at either jf or bb. Cams are offline. One would only assume that they are enjoying the cold weather, but not making snow. Hunter is making snow, and has posts on social media about it. BB not being as "park" this year as others is not new news. we had "insider info" on that months back. You should call them to see if they care to open this weekend. Let us know. Quote

I follow one of the groomers up there on Instagram and he’s been posting stuff on his story about it, other than that I haven’t seen a single thing from any of the official accounts Quote
toast21602 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Posted December 7, 2020 Such a downfall of PA's greatest early opener. 3 Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Posted December 7, 2020 Yeah none of the Peak resorts got fully integrated last year. Lots of changes at all of them this year. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 7, 2020 Report Posted December 7, 2020 Crazy I noticed no webcams as well. Quote
Mixilplix Posted December 7, 2020 Report Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) If your a local or a hard core park rat BB/JF being sold to Vail must have been crushing....It's there home mountain ...They know everything about skiing/riding there...and more.... I highly doubt it will ever be the same..... Watched it happen at Doe mt/Bear Creek....Took about two years....It sucks Edited December 7, 2020 by Mixilplix Quote
JFskiDan Posted December 7, 2020 Report Posted December 7, 2020 They are making snow at Frost. Not sure what the Vail of secrecy is all about. They are now officially worse at social media than Blue. 2 Quote
skiincy Posted December 8, 2020 Report Posted December 8, 2020 I wonder if people at Vail corporate even know about JFBB 😂 2 Quote

Its been a long time. My guess is the intermediate terrain is the park, since they said they will have some park features. But maybe Demattes, or whatever is on the right of the park. Quote
Benm Posted December 10, 2020 Report Posted December 10, 2020 one of their cams remains online. there are 3 others that fail, not sure if they will come back eventually or not. doesn't look too bad, but i don't really know that mtn's layout tho or what it's showing. online https://live2.brownrice.com/embed/jackfrost2 not online https://live2.brownrice.com/embed/jackfrost1https://live2.brownrice.com/embed/jfbbeasthttps://live2.brownrice.com/embed/bigboulderlpark Quote
