Is there no Boulder Park this year? They (Vail) got rid of the BB Park social media accounts and their regular mountain account updates on practically nothing regarding conditions and park builds. Blue and BC have gone nuts on their parks this year. I haven't seen this level of activity around BC's parks in 15 years. 1 Quote

Blue and BC have gone nuts on their parks this year. I haven't seen this level of activity around BC's parks in 15 years. They’ve definitely scaled back their park presence. They (Vail) let go of the head guy in charge of the parks/social media, and he’s since gone to Mtn Creek. A quick scroll through their IG page and it feels just like BBPs page used to with daily updates and video. A lot of BBP locals have started going to Creek. Id still rather ride Boulders parks than Blues or Bear Creeks, they’re just built better🤷♂️ Quote
Schif Posted February 22, 2021 Report Posted February 22, 2021 Does boulder still have a pipe cutter? Quote

Popular Post antman12 Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Report Posted March 8, 2021 ~repetitive post~ Another fantastic bluebird day at JF/BB this morning. Took about 7 runs at JF then shot over to BB for another 10 or so runs. Big Boulders parks are about the same as they were last year with a fresh build on Freedom. 9 1 Quote
EdBacon Posted March 8, 2021 Report Posted March 8, 2021 Glad they're finally getting it together. I swore I wouldn't get an epic pass... but I might reconsider if things improve next year. If they pave the parking lots though I'm out. 1 3 Quote

That coupled with only two ticket windows open created ridiculous lines. Quote

RidgeRacer Posted March 17, 2021 Report Posted March 17, 2021 Wow..BB closes Sunday. Frost closes on the 28th. Vail really wants local epic pass holders to travel I guess. 1 Quote

EdBacon Posted March 17, 2021 Report Posted March 17, 2021 Pretty pathetic. 28th is about normal for JF. BB used to go to mid April. Quote
rgrwilco Posted March 18, 2021 Report Posted March 18, 2021 Hopefully people stop buying epic passes and the message is received.Wasn’t it a few years ago killington got new owners and stopped doing the late season and there was a huge backlash? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkPeople aren't going to stop buying epic passes. How many people here are buying one next year (in tandem with a blue pass)? If you're planning on skiing Vail owned resorts out west or whenever they've forced your hand unfortunately. Quote

If you're planning on skiing Vail owned resorts out west or whenever they've forced your hand unfortunately.Most of my friends who were on peak passes, got epic’d this year, and will either be going with an Indy pass, blue or montage, or nothing.The amount of people that don’t buy them again probably won’t hurt vail, but there is a ton of online buzz amongst skiers and riders that shows a movement toward ikon or independent areas. I know it’s anecdotal, but in the words of our supreme leader, it is what it is.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 18, 2021 Report Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) I figure there was not much point BB playing its very limited early & late season game with Big Snow in town 365 days a year offering indoor version of Freedom. At least they are open later than they were last year Really there is no competition for Epic for folks who want a pass that covers both unlimited PA skiing and unlimited great skiing.
