bigdaddyk Posted April 13, 2007 Report Posted April 13, 2007 I'm bored, so I thought I would start an online petition. This is a petition to try to get BB to open on Monday, if they get a lot of snow Sunday / Monday. Who would go? I would. 1. Bigdaddyk Quote
Shadows Posted April 13, 2007 Report Posted April 13, 2007 even without this snow they could do it. Quote
fluffy Posted April 13, 2007 Report Posted April 13, 2007 No offense.....there is no way in hell that BB will be open on Monday. Quote
bigdaddyk Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Posted April 13, 2007 I guess I can see that nobody would plan on going, even after a snowfall, and people wonder why places close up early Quote
jordan Posted April 13, 2007 Report Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) if the schools close, i am sure there would be enough business for them to open up. you could always just hike... Edited April 13, 2007 by jordan Quote
RightEmpire Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 Please open up this weekend boulder... Quote
bigdaddyk Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Posted April 17, 2007 Please open....the sooner the better Quote
fluffy Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 Not gonna happen. No way. No how. Absolutely, positively closed until the May rail jam. Sorry folks. Quote
Papasteeze Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 Not gonna happen. No way. No how. Absolutely, positively closed until the May rail jam. Sorry folks. why... just give a plausible explanation, quit being a stuffy fluffy. Quote
dolfman261 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 OPEN FOR THE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!! shut up fluffy Quote
bigdaddyk Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Posted April 18, 2007 why... just give a plausible explanation, quit being a stuffy fluffy. I have a dumb feeling fluffy's right....considering Hunter closed on Saturday and had no intention of opening back up. Then again, GP was closed for a few weeks, then opened back up for this storm.

Papasteeze Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 a few inches.. hahahaha - how do you know that? Quote
fluffy Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 why... just give a plausible explanation, quit being a stuffy fluffy. Trust me. I know. Go diggin through posts from 2 or 3 months ago and you will see that I called the 15th as last day. Yes, I know that the 14th was technically the last day, but that was only due to freakish rain. I know some people who know some people. Quote
Papasteeze Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 I know some people who know some people. so say why they won't reopen then. Quote
Crayfish Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 so say why they won't reopen then. My guess would be because JFBB are a business first and foremost and there is not enough riders to keep the mountains open. The new snow didn't help anything cause it is almost all melted already. Unfortunatley no more riding at JFBB until the fall. Quote
meggles Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 Unfortunatley no more riding at JFBB until the fall. dont forget about may day my friend Quote
splooshie Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 haha yea, im sooo exited for mayday. Quote

Unfortunatley no more riding at JFBB until the fall. hmmmmmmmmmmmm... okay well... a business first and foremost that doesn't let it's customers know that they are open? I mean come on, we were in Stroudsburg Saturday with ski clothes on.. you should have seen the looks... The people that inquired were amazed to hear that a slope 30 minutes away was still open. The only reason there aren't enough riders to keep it open is because .............. fill in the blank... Hint, it isn't because of lack of snow.. Quote

The only reason there aren't enough riders to keep it open is because .............. lack of customers... Let's face it, how many people say I'm going to plan an April ski trip in the mid atlantic region? Everyone goes west because you are guaranteed snow. This was not a typical winter and the spring has been cold and snowy. This is a great thing for us, but definitely out of the ordinary for this region. Stroudsburg is mostly Camelcrack grounds so I would not be suprised that people out there thought the season was over. They judge by Camelcrack's season. Are you suggesting that JFBB should spend money on advertising in April?? Quote
Papasteeze Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 Are you suggesting that JFBB should spend money on advertising in April?? You got to spend a little to make a little..... I know that I would have advertised. I would have blown snow a week ago when it was cold enough and advertised the hell out of it... But hey, I don't know the costs.... Nothing ventured nothing gained... maybe next year. It is unheard of that a local ski area was open in April and I contest that it is still unheard of - hell, ski shops don't even know that Boulder was open. Even some cheap viral marketing would be better than nothing. simple radio spots? How about hyping it on message boards? I check thier myspace every once in a while and it has been dead. Thats unusual... I got a number of people to visit from long distances and the reaction was all the same.. HOLY SHIT!! - Look, its good for the regulars with no crowds, but the reason they aren't selling any tickets is because few people realize what they have. Fat and happy is the thought that occurs to me, I heard early on (mid season) that Boulder had it's best season ever. Quote
Papasteeze Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 Papasteeze if JF/BB would have blown snow and advertised the hell out of it, they would have lost money. All the people who wanted to ski last weekend skied. If people were interesting in skiing, they would have called the ski area to see if they were open or looked online. I find it hard to believe that ski shops didn't know Boulder was open. Don't ski shops get a daily fax from local ski areas with snow conditions. not from boulder clueless noob Quote
