I just got back from BC...The snow was pretty nice..Great job on the grooming(a couple of spot could have been a little better).If tommorrow is anything like today get there early...The lower lot was starting to fill up at arround 9am.The crowd on the hill wasn't bad at all this morning(Even though they were filling the upper lot when I left....Get there early!!
-
I got there around 6pm and it was still packed! X3..I'll be there in the early am too.
-
I was there for an early evening ride(no park) and if it wasn't for the crowd(lots of spores) it was pretty nice.They blew a bunch of snow in the past two days and haven't really groomed it out yet,so there were a couple of patches of ice(mostly on top of the piles of snow)Timberline was nice cause nobody was really riding on it. I hope they groom it out tonight for they weekend,and they know how to groom-unlike some other mts.If it's nice tomorrow expect a big crowd,get there early.
-
Glad I didn't go this morning/afternoon,opted to catch up on some domestic duties.Prolly check it out later this evening.
-
I don't think Blue will change until somebody comes in there and cleans house,meaning it being sold.
-
I felt the conditions today were suckful at best.They really need some cold temps to get some new snow down...There were more spores there than on a moldy piece of bread.
-
Yeah,I'm not a big park rider but I would like to see things changed up.Lots of people there today.
-
Bear Creek wasn't crowded at all today.
-
Here is some of the new stuff on Cascade for those that have not seen it.The snow was really nice from about mid morning on.

Look at what Southern Management did with the old Doe Mt.It was a run down ski area and in eight years look at what they did.A nice lodge and hotel,great snow making,and a really nice park.The place operates year round also....... If you are a local think about this.....Management doesn't make alot of money from you,they make money on the day and weekend trippers.So to attract them you have to have nice amenaties(lodge,hotel,nice snow,etc)...So to pay for all that you need to raise prices....alot.Then you also have to deal with the crowds that come there..If you think it Blue gets crowded now just think what it would be like if they had facilities like BC..it would be insane As a local at BC/Doe Mt for many years, I love what they have done on the mt(snow/grooming/lifts) but there is a whole different vibe about the place now. It's a double edge sword. -
I just got back from a two hour session..really foggy at the top....Snow was a mixed bag..some spots were really crusty,yet other spots it was nice and firm.Park crew was out tidying things up.Corrugated pipes been moved down to the stall bar area.Lots of wet/drippy chairs....Still a great time.
-
I'm glad there finally opening the other side of the mt. tomorrow.
-
Doesn't bother me either...Kinda glad to see them doing more than the have in the past.
-
Carry somethin that does...That battle rap would be a #1 hit!

Get it on the iPhone for all to see and hear......

It was pretty good for opening day...I got there at 9;30 and thought the lot would be full but I got a parkin spot pretty close.Park seemed to be in great shape.On black bear and kodiak the snow was a mixed bag.Lot's of familiar faces.My day ended early after a nasty fall doin a little ollie off of the landing on the second hit in the jump line.Totally miss judged everything.Glad I was wearin a helmetThis led me to the bar at about 11:45 to enjoy a nice Guinness beer float.
-
It's gonna be a total cluster fuck tomorrow,but I'll be there.
-
Why are you opening at 10am and not the normal time?
-
I have a friend that goes to school out that way..She said her schools ski club goes to Peek&Peak,but i don't know if she's been there yet.
-
I'm thinkin on it..I can only do the morning plus it's only 1/2 price...Conditions will prolly suck, but maybe mother nature will help out a little.I wish Boulder or Camelback did morning tickets.
-
Sounds interesting......On another note I just found out Boulder doesn't do just a morning ticket...I wanted to ride there tomorrow before the rain.
