Was at JF this afternoon. Everything open but RiverShot and the glades now. River is covered with whales that just need to be groomed out. Should be at 100% immanently.

How was the skiing and crowds?

I stayed on Paradise lift (new quad on East Mountain), and got 10 runs in 2-415. As a single I never waited more than 5 min and half the time 1-2 min. In PM it was hard pack and slick on Floyd's (lots of yard sales) and Challenge. Much nicer carveable surface on TBolt and upper runs of East Mtn.

JF now reporting listed trails 100% open.

Glades, elevator not included in that. 

What other PA hills have made it to 100% open this season?

Blues open terrain is at least 2 times what Jf has open but pat yourself on the back extra for choosing Jack Frost.

I go to JFrost rarely, but it is worth reporting on its status and conditions in a PA skiing forum. 

Closest thing I have to a home mountain is Hunter (4 of my 15 days this skison) which has at least double the open terrain Blue has.

I went to Hunter last Thursday and there were like 50 people there. Never waited in line for more than 25 seconds. You guys are just hella jelly because Ski2Live and I have an Epic Pass. We're saving a lot. We always save a lot.

If you weren't being such a jealous hater Ski2Live and I might invite you on a road trip with us to Hunter, you can use my Buddy Ticket and ski Hunter all day long for just $71. But you have to agree to sit between us on the lift at least 3 times

Arapahoe Basin is only 90% open, so pat yourself on the back for being passionate about skiing and continuing to live in PA in the winter.

If it's not 100% open, probably just bail and hit bear creek or Jack frost

I'll second this. Doesn't seem like it makes sense if they aren't 100% like local gems around here.

Chair 1 (Chets) bumps kick ass if it is cloudy/snowy and power laps there will kick your ass.  If the weather is nice, spend some time on the ridge since it has some of the coolest and most unique terrain anywhere.  Grab a free ridge cat pass from the pass office, ski Super Nova and Velvet Hammer, hike off the cat and ski Marmot, 13010, Rock Chutes.   Hike the other way off the top of chair 9 and ski Super Bowl and Wild Child. 

If you want a big air with a clean landing, hit Crack Rock in the middle of Super Bowl.  Patrol Rock (which is in the picture I posted in the middle of patrol bowl) will likely be completely covered by that point. 

I am coaching on the 11th, but may be free-skiing there on the 12th and could possibly show you around if interested.  

If you have the opportunity, ski A-Basin as well.  Pali, Steep Gullies and East Wall have some of the best terrain in Colorado.

Nice soft snow on Floyd's and River Shot today, gently bumping up on the headwalls. No lines on 19 runs off Paradise lift 1030-2

Challenge and Thunderbolt were a bit thin and scratchy with no trees in play.

Didn't make it to other side.

If anyone wants to ski the 5 inches of perder at Jackson Frost tomorrow, I have Epic discounts available. No idea how much you get off, probably tree fitty. Don't want to leave my Epic Pass benefits on the table. @GrilledSteezeSandwich perder talk
