winch groomer to build steep landings? yay..

hahahaha ah yes the wall of motivation.. funny how they take PASR so personally when they are so well known on the park scene. BB park has been very successful with meeting the demand to get anything open and open early. News flash.. I bet most of those kids skiing on that opening day have probably also skied on carpet with ghetto drops ins and are stoked for that too! Here is something for the OP all the rest of you ignore hahaha.. Watch this video..

Good to see that the ideas/plans from several years ago are taking shape. Hey Will, any chance they are going to allow you to use the winch groomer to build some steep landings?

Really? How so... Care to elaborate? Naaaaaa.. nevermind. Don't! Please stay away during November and March.. Thanks

say hi to Yukon for me

Yeah Dan, I could/should have elaborated a bit more. Some of the park crew said emphatically that they were not allowed to reshape, so if that it is the case, then it is the groomers responsibility? I really don't know the details, I just know that the transitions and set-ups and flows left a lot to be desired when considering the comments from experienced park riders. I don't have any from last season other than a couple from Christmas day that Craig took - they don't show the features.

I am betting that with the background of the new owners (philly financiers) that things won't be any better at sno this year given our current state of the economy.

Method, thank you for your post, you are spot on... Will, I am guessing, but I think the problem has been your groomers and how they set the transitions and gaps. You need someone experienced in that new cat. Having a new park and new features and new equipment will mean nothing unless you have a park builder who knows what to do with all that new stuff.

Thanks for the update Will, whats your background and experience with parks?

can't remember how to embed here hope that works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDOT6HK1fno

I know you all may be sick of me posting about Summer camp on a glacier. I don't really care and if one person, just one person gets stoked off of this video then, well I don't know what it is, but watch this video. http://media.newschoolers.com/uploads/memb...pexperience.mov

Quick edit of Nips at COC if anyone cares. Peep it here. http://www.4bi9media.com/files/other/5065S...n_COC_small.mov

Gotta add C session too! http://media.newschoolers.com/uploads/memb...COCSessionC.mov

these hot an humid days are the worst. It won't be long now before the are over. Nips is still in whistler, so I am still getting a long distance contact fix from him.

^^^ well then, welcome to JFBB! It's been pretty recognizable that they are targeting the once or twice a year weekend visitor. Seems like the trend is continuing. It will be interesting to see how they counter the high costs of fuel that their clients spend to get there, if they do at all. Sales are super stagnant at 4 seasons and week long rentals for next season are saturated (3rd hand info)

meh

length?

She doesn't ski trees now and is at 70 under foot now. How many days a year, did she race? is she an aggressive strong skier or a cruiser? IF you are suggesting new skis for her so that she can trail you in the trees. and since you are saying that she doesn't have much experience in the trees..... then get her a set of icelantics http://www.icelanticboards.com/ go with the pilgrim for the powder days.. Otherwise don't go above 90cm under foot - I doubt she will like anything larger for everyday use.

80-85 underfoot, 160-165 standard/traditional Mount if you are going with a twin tip. On the biased side of things, Salomon is in tune with Womens skis. They have an extensive womens line,

More Picturesque last year. Nips said more bigger jumps and more rails this year.

Summer Camp at COC session B .. Warning! Old School Music. hahahahaha Camp of Champions 08 - B Session Edit
