rgrwilco Posted March 17, 2023 Report Posted March 17, 2023 -Closing with the best conditions of the season. -JF still open, we will see for how long. -Aside from western PA, This will make Jack frost the only EPICtm resort open in eastern and southern PA. -Blue is making snow at lower elevation and in a warmer climate while big boulder closes. 1 Quote
Kyle Posted March 17, 2023 Report Posted March 17, 2023 Surprised Vail even kept it open this long 1 Quote

But at the same time, 10 years ago or whatever when i was a passholder, they would close JF with redic amounts of snow, and leave Boulder open. So, really, nothing has changed except which one they keep open later. I highly doubt Blue makes it past next weekend. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 17, 2023 Report Posted March 17, 2023 I do like that they prioritize JF over BB. That's how it always should have been 2 Quote
EdBacon Posted March 17, 2023 Report Posted March 17, 2023 Because BB was their higher traffic mountain when the parks were open, especially late season. Not hard to get park rats out as long as there's a park. 2 Quote
DiMe Posted March 17, 2023 Report Posted March 17, 2023 RIP Big Boulder Parks, that was a very special era in PA freestyle. 🥺 4 Quote
EdBacon Posted March 20, 2023 Report Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) The beginner lift broke down last week at JF. So they will only be offering whatever advanced and intermediate terrain they have remaining at JF until closing. I think their last accessible beginner terrain was at BB which closed over the weekend. There hasn't been an announcement on closing yet but I can't imagine they'll push things beyond this weekend without a working beginner lift. Edited March 20, 2023 by EdBacon 1 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 20, 2023 Report Posted March 20, 2023 Wow - that is a brand new lift this season 1 Quote
saltyant Posted November 3, 2023 Report Posted November 3, 2023 Is Big Boulder yet open? I saw a snowflake in MacAdoodle and it's time to play ski. 1 Quote
