I just got back from JF. Got there at 7:45 am and the slopes were still closed at 8. They were still pushing snow around because there were areas that were completely gone between the triple and quad chairs at the top. I talked to some employees and they said that the slopes got hammered. They said that BB was thinner than JF. They were even talking about tearing down the park and taking the snow off of it to use elsewhere. I didn't bother to hang around, since they said it would be a while until they could get everything done.

I just checked the webcams and it looks like they did a good job, even though it looks narrow.

i love BB's weekend outlook: "other area's close we open a new park......."

Props to Jack Frost for trying to stay open..every ski area east of the Mississippi right now is going through the same thing..I felt like a wuss bailing out but my inner instinct told me that I was either going to damage my skis or go over the handlebars on a gluey spot..What were the temperatures like? Today is the first day I slept late (8:30AM) since Christmas and I've already done laundry and taken out the trash and it's still not to late to get Mickey D's breakfast..time moves by slowly when you're not skiing..

McDonalds serves breakfast until 11.

just back from Frost - they finally opened about 9.. WARM,,, not too many people...

 

 

Not sure how much longer they can hang on... Lots of WET spots, Lots of brown starting to show thru, getting narrow in places... But its OPEN and Its White (kinda),

 

I heard East was the best (but didnt bother to go over there)

 

Hey it counts as a ski day..

Ya the fog is the real snow executioner.There will probally be a round of Apache fog tonight or in the AM after the wind's die down.Plus,the rain Sunday/Monday and another round of Killer fog afterward's.It's ashame JFBB have all their major competition's\event's during this time frame.It's probally too late to reschedule them too.Thankfully good snowmaking weather is coming up Wednesday and there should be a rapid recovery for MLK weekend for all the area's,even though right now it's looking rainy next weekend too.

Was the Nordica van at Frost today?

[syd harvey]

Wow...this rain...just is....wow starting to suck

[NiftySHIFTY]

Hopefully they can recover for next weekend, since BB is supposed to be holding the Midnight Madness...

 

Should be crazy, especially if they can keep Boulder Park open with a few huge hits.

yea this weather sux i was at bb today and you were landing in dirt on the rails on freedom no rails were open on merry widow but the jumps were sick till the landing go beat

[syd harvey]

Hows this midnight madness gonna work out any one know for sure?

[xNick11]

Yeah and my post was from 10:30AM..what happened to Kristeezy?

Kristie ummm...idn shes i dont know still skiing i guess..

[bigdaddyk]

I don't see a major recovery for MLK weekend..I see being lucky to have limited terrain with the continued above normal weather..but a good Presidents weekend is possible now..

 

I think the mountains could do it, if the temps pan out.
