Nice one, Jim. Props to the JHMR’s Risk Manager John Bishop, who scoped us out early in the day and came by for a “chat”. He recognized the need for music of some kind and agreed to let us continue as long as people were reasonably well behaved and we finished up by 7pm. It was illuminating to talk with a JHMR employee who understood what we wanted and who laid out clear expectations on his end. We’re not so different after all! I understood JHMR’s concerns, but was glad we found a way to accommodate one another. Thanks to all the participants who helped clean up and informally “police” the crowd to prevent things from getting out of hand. Hopefully we acquitted ourselves well enough this year that next year we can return bigger and better and back by the tram dock!

If you are dumb enough to break a window in the tram with a snowball you should be locked up. It wasn’t just a soft normal snowball. But the idea you can outlaw them is funny. If someone breaks another window whoever sees them do it should hand them over. And if it was a accident just turn yourself in and work something out. Just the same as you would if it was your property. Just because JHMR owns it, its ok um I don’t think so. I am sure its the same person who was shallow enough to rob the shake a day out of nick Wilsons. I am sure if we keep going the way we are soon enough there will be privileges left at the mtn. I love to party as much as the next guy especially after skiing all day. However if you look at it through the resorts eyes, they gave everyone a free concert and they get the old car bashed (I bet its not free next year), along with a broken window on the new one by letting everyone drink on there property after skiing. Whets the incentive to do it again??? On a positive note the party in the upper lot was classic and everyone did a great job of enjoying them selves responsibly let try to remember all this next year when après ski returns.

Someone almost get arrested for throwing a snowball on Sunday. What code would he of been booked under? Would love to see that one stand up in court. “Your honor, um we were having fun and I threw a snowball at a friend”.

We got snowballed! No snowballs, then no alcohol, then no music. I don’t mind people being drunk and stupid, it happens at any ski hill…What irks me is the loss of my freedom at jhmr, and now we have to obey the blann or he’ll “close the tram”. And I don’t blame the snowball-thrower or the tram-rammer. Just blanny.

One last opportunity to call Jerry Blann an absolute moron. I’m in. Lucky Jerry now gets a few months respite… Well, until the new pass prices are released and Jerry takes another local-friendly pass away. Moron !
