big boulder PARK is committed to opening as early as the temperatures allow with the best product possible- That's why we have been First to Open, Last to Close in Pennsylvania 5 years in a row now. That is something we take very seriously around here, and this year is no exception. We HOPE to have big boulder PARK open tomorrow from 12-8, with some features and a lift on Freedom running! Our snowmakers & park crew are going to be hard at work to help us get this done. Snow Passes will just be, $20 on Saturday. Here's the kicker-We have to have a good COLD night to get this done....So make sure to keep checking back for the "official" opening day announcement...

haha again, just wait and see...Im not a JFBB fanboy I ski at bear creak and blue mostly, Im just being serious and realistic. Opening day at blue will have the usuals, burma, main street, all the little ones closest to the lodge and at this rate sidewinder will be lucky to be completed by christmas

We are not opening today. TRUST US, We want to open as much as you. It didn't get cold enough for us to make the amount of snow we need to bring you the best product possible. Tonight's lows are looking good for some great snowmaking. We are hopeful to Sunday- BUT- check back for official Opening Day update tomorrow morning.
