Big Boulder

So it's 4PM. You're tired of the runs at Jack Frost and you've done all you can do in One Park. Bummer. Oh wait! Good thing that lift ticket you bought is good until 10 PM over at Big Boulder.

What makes east coast small mountain skiing stand out? Lots of night skiing, and lots of terrain parks. Boulder is a prime example.

Big Boulder is a smaller mountain than Jack Frost, but it sure doesn't feel like it. They've got some monster ungroomed trails to roll through, and six terrain parks. They say they've got seven but come on, you can't count Plaza as its own park. Can you?

Anywho. They've got something to offer for every level of rider. There's the mellow small-feature ride-on run, Tannenbaum. At the other end of the spectrum they have Big Boulder Park and Love Park each with some big boosters and nice rails.

Freedom park is where a lot of people tend to hang out. It's a nice middle of the road alternative for people who don't suck.

Here's a video run through of Freedom.


On Wednesdays you can bring your trusty student ID and get a 3-9PM ticket for the low low price of $15. It gets a little crowded on student day but the price sure is right.

They also have tons of contests and events going on all the time. I'd list them all here but it would be redundant. Just check the site. www.jfbb.com
