jordan Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 10% discount on food for one day? honestly, that just makes BC look stingy, you are better off giving no discount IMO.. Jordan Quote
snowboarddude Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 suggestions #1. Free something for people who dress up in irish themed clothes(this event is happening on st. patricks day) #2. Open lifts early for passholders as planned. leave the lifts open to the public until 1 a.m. #3. 10%...well i guess thats better than nothing but not by much...honestly 10%?? would it kill you guys to give us 40% or higher...i mean for real. how much money would u lose by giving PASSHOLDERS a 40% off discount FOR ONE DAY. #4. Season pass holder railjam. i like number 2.... bear could makeup for new years and it would be mad funn (7:30 in da morning to 1 in da morning)16 n a half hours Quote
Mixilplix Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) Here is what BC says about season passes(this is right off the web site) SEASON PASS AND FIVE SESSION PASS GUARANTEE By purchasing a Season Pass or Five Session Pass, you make a commitment to Bear Creek Mountain Resort. In return, we make a commitment to you with our Pass Guarantee. We all hope for a cold and snowy winter, but if the weather does not cooperate Bear Creek has you covered by guaranteeing a minimum 65 day season! Season Pass Guarantee For every day that Bear Creek falls short of the 65 day guarantee, you will receive a 2% per day credit* toward your Season Pass purchase the following season. For example, if Bear Creek is open 55 days, 10 days less than the minimum guarantee, you will receive a credit of 10 days multiplied by 2% equaling a 20% credit toward the following season. *Credit amount is based on the cost paid for the 2006-2007 season pass. I've been going to BC for a long time..on the average they would open just before Christmas and close around St Patty's day.....that comes close to 80 plus days....I wonder who came up with 65 days? Then they credit you with a discount towards next years pass if they don't meet the 65 days...OK...I bet those pass prices go up next year..... If BC goes to the end of March into April then props to them,but if they close on the 18th that's how there going to cover there ass Edited March 4, 2007 by Mixilplix Quote
bombshellcutie Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 its awesome that bear is giving season pass holders a free pass for someone else, but that's not really doing anything for the pass holders!! and im still not going to spend $5 on a $6 cheeseburger when I can just go to the turkey hill down the street and get a snack to hold me over until i get good food. meh..

bombshellcutie Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 i guess its like "oh well, whatever". like "aw man the last bit of my coffee is cold..meh" its usually used when you're bummed about something but it's not that big of a deal. i think its from the simpsons..from a lisa episode. I've been saying it for a long time though and people alway get confused when they've never heard/seen it before..haha Quote
snowboarddude Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 any chance that bear might give us 40% off for ONE day??? Quote

andTO86 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 any chance that bear might give us 40% off for ONE day??? Probably not. I hear the food is done by a different company who just rents the space, so the discount would be up to them. Quote
supertrooper12 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 im a little confused is this costumer appreiciation day all that bear is doing for their season pass holders??? if 65 days is met does that mean that bear creek will do nothing more for us? Quote

k2rider2690 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 everyone needs to stop bitching about the short season. bear creek did everything possible to be be open and they made snow as often as possible. also if u have bought a season pass, u must go up to bear often. prob 99.9 percent of u have paid off your pass but yet u still continue to complain. at least bear is doing something like this 65 day season thing and this whole day for use. i dont see any other mtn giving season pass holders the availbility to get a free pass for someone or having a rail jam and all that stuff. so just take it or leave it. where bear creek is located its a little warmer than blue, so u either take it or u can go to blue doesnt bother me or prob anyone elce here Quote

I may have my problems with BC (OK, they're Bob's problems but I sort of agree) but you can't possibly think that BC wanted this season to go the way it did. It's not like they made money when people (including the season pass holders) couldn't ski. Quote
Tyler Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 why dont we all just go ride? we can fight about this shit later after the snow's gone. Cascade is the best its been so i suggest go ride and have fun. just a thought... Quote
supertrooper12 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) fuck, people in here complain like mofos and when i ask for something more you guys tell me to stop i said nothing about the season i just think that the compensation that they are giving is not sufficient. and i am jw if there was more being offered Edited March 13, 2007 by supertrooper12 Quote
Mixilplix Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) Word on the mean streets of Macungie is another two weeks til closing(weekend of the twentyfifth).....possibly another week if the planets aline correctly. Edited March 13, 2007 by Mixilplix Quote
rgrwilco Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 You want them to give you a reach around or something? pshh your thinking to small. rusty trombones and dirty sanchezes all around complements of BC! in my opinion, they have done enough and this is all icing on the cake. sure the food thing is a bit chinsy, but a rail jam free for passholders, killer parks, hour to ourselves(im happy about this because that means primo parking that day), and just the fact that they actualyl care enough to post here(and get into technical things with us, like lift operations, future plans, snowmaking expansion for next season and whatnot) makes me happy i bought a season pass, whcih was much cheaper then anything around, even spring. oh yeah, they did say offpeak was valid saturday too right?

DHarrisburg Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 Anyone want to bring me on Saturday? I'll drive you if you live in Bethlehem and buy you lunch or alcohol, you can choose Quote
rgrwilco Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 Anyone want to bring me on Saturday? I'll drive you if you live in Bethlehem and buy you lunch or alcohol, you can choose if my friend backs out, which is highly likely, you could use my free ticket. and since when is alcohol not lunch?

mollyskeez Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 does nebody know what rails are going to be out for the comp. im thinking about entering it will be my first comp. Quote
boardera Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 does nebody know what rails are going to be out for the comp. im thinking about entering it will be my first comp. my guess is one of the long flat red rails a flat box or something they make with two flat boxes Quote
sectachrome Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 So pass holders can get in early. And they can bring a guest for free. Does this mean the guests can also get in early? Or do they have to sit in the lodge for an hour? Quote
mollyskeez Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 i think they said befor that only season pass holders can get in early but dont quote me on this Quote
