Say what you want about llbean but good for them for doing this so everyone has the chance to ski. For tons of people it's just not accessible and this is the way to hook them into the sport.

Great! Wish I knew sooner and could have planned a trip up that way. More places should do this.

How often do they set up that bump run? It looks like it will only be up for 3 days. Do they do this once a month or so? If they do I might actually buy this.

I mean...a single day walk up ticket is $59 on weekends. This may be worth buying even if I can only make it 2 or 3 times. Never thought I'd be bringing my skis on a trip down the shore

I bought the $99 pass once and used it over a couple summers. Ended up with 4 Days on it. It's worth it if you know you're going to be in the area, but not worth a trip solely for the skiing IMO. I'm in NH and it takes almost 4 hours, without traffic, so if you're a lot closer I'd go for it.

I'm about 2:45 away without traffic (obviously a rare feat). Would never take a trip down there just to ski, but I could couple it with a day in the city, something else in the area, or even just spend the day at the mall with the wife who likes it there for some reason. We always spend a weekend in Wildwood in mid August, so that will also be a nice rest stop for a couple hours (and I may purposely plan the exact date of that trip based on when Big Snow announces they have a bump run).

I'm thinking since I missed out on one more Superstar day, I might take a ride this Sunday to check out the bumps.

If you don't want to go for a 6-pack, discount tickets are usually available on Groupon ($42).

Currently the 6-packs do not seem to be expiring in a year, even though they say they do. Of course that could change at any moment. Roll the dice if you're feeling lucky.

The bumps themselves are a good time, but it's also a good chance to hang out with other bump loving folks. I plan to go Friday right after work, but will be away Sat/Sun. Last time they left them up for a bonus Monday. I figure the more popular they are, the more often they'll build them. So please come and enjoy!

I ended up getting the 6 pack. Figure I'll use it 3 times which will make it worth it. Anything after that is a bonus. And if I hate it and only use it once, it wouldn't be the first time I've burned a hole in my pocket with a ski pass the past few years.

$50 gets you a lift ticket to ski Jay for an hour on June 22, a ticket to the concert that day, and a lift ticket for next season (no Saturday or holidays). Very tempting. From an IG post.

I'll go to concerts when I'm dead and they prey my ice axe and Bumble from my cold dead hands. An hour,
