ahahahahahaaaa... Nice to see you off hours and see that you have a sense of humor! Thanks for the offer but I doubt you will have any jumps worthy of a raked out landing this year, besides we already get meticulously groomed jumps, landings and real rails that allow inverts at another ski resort. I would rather you let me slap a ticket on you to Big Boulder and let me show you what your parks should look like with all of your first paragraph hype!!

I think it is more cool that rahlves is competing in skier cross..

hahahahhahahahaaaaaa.... he would have gotten treated even worse.

Surely you recognize that CB gets "bashed" on more often than anyone else year after year. Have you ever stopped and wondered why? It's is simple, it treats the core snow customers worse than any other mountain around. Sorry you have to pay for your pass. Do you ski anywhere else besides CB?

its now full with town homes. I was there once!!

not to make light of rotten experience, but maybe the owner has to sign the check and he hasn't been seen in 2 weeks?

Okay that is fair, how about switch7 vs. Misty5 - See where I am heading with this? no worries... spin to win if that is what you are into... throw stylie 5's and 7's in a comp and lose to the penciled 10.. there is an inconsistent difference about what is the best trick from a viewing point and from a comp standpoint that I wish was a publicized standard.

Roundtop Riders has the best organized website that I have seen from any of the groups. I think if you asked that question in Newschoolers Main forum you would get a ton of potential leads. Another place to look is in the movie trailer forum. Usually those are groups of kids from one mountain or another who have organized themselves enough to produce a movie. Why do you ask? So you know Roundtop Riders key members have moved to school or jobs and with this dismal season it is not as active as a group as it was last year.

I am interested.

Every constructive suggestion I have ever made is met with the same attitude and silly touristy repsonses that you have. You fit well at CB.. I am curious, do you pay for your pass at CB?

ok, so you 3 guys are the exception... LOL! It's all good.. I would love to see a difficulty rating sheet. for example does a rodeo 7 beat a switch 7?

Doing real well, if you find me at CB it won't be for long, I spend most of our time at Big Boulder. I might take an hour or two making some turns before the 10am crowds.

Good info.... As much as I would like to think I have been involved, I missed alot of this. I have to run now, send me some contact info via PM.

Ok, I just hope that in the future, a little more thought or conferencing might happen when making these decisions. It was obvious that BB was there to make things "right". There was unique problem on Tuesday in that a lot of the kids have not had any real time on the snow and it showed early with the wrecks that were happening. However there were also, plenty of kids there who have the skills to help advise on what is safe or not. sure it has. LOL!

Thanks for Chiming in Bill! It is great to see you here! I would like to step up and ask what can I do to help? I wish that you were here in the preseason commenting in the Camelback Mountain School thread about the judging clinics. Is it possible to do another one, just for our region, MASS? http://www.paskiandride.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6118 I am totally convinced of what the trends are as evidenced by the NextSnow competitions with in the SnowMonster program. My son now have 13 different comps at 9 different resorts. There is a definite pattern. I don't believe that the USSA freestyle program is the way to go, yours looks much better in relation to what the "Newschoolers" seem to want.

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you should have seen Okemo last weekend, they were in worst shape and they were open...

So what can we do to move forward? How do we get qualified skier judges or does VanGilder have the monopoly in our area.

Just putting this thread back on topic.

Acceptable? nooo, I just suspect that MOST of those who are vocal about the style vs. spins can't actually spin, and that is why they are so vocal.. I am curious if that is correct, thats all.

my personal favorite tre... lol!!! BTW - how cool is it to have 2 of the winning photographers here on PASR?!!!!!! Not to leave anyone out, but what an awesome way to end a comp with that slideshow, that was sooooooo sick.

So lets assume that all the peripheral sales of food and ski school, rentals etc cover the other costs like payroll to keep things simple. CB did 300k visits per previous snow season.. equals about 3000 visits per day on the average. by my acount they have about 70 days left. From what I understand it was also a short Camel beach season and sales were down due to a slow start (cool weather) and now ..... I love speculating and creating some drama... why not? In the grand scheme of things maybe the county/state will take it over and then they will sell it at half its value in some back room deal, after all doesn't it sit on state land and isn't it a huge, vital part of the entire economy in that region?

So... in watching this thread today, tons of people have viewed this thread, yet no one has seen or heard of him in over 2 weeks. This guy is local in the tannersville area, has seat on the munincipal airport board, etc etc. has an investment 10 times larger than anything he has ever done before and plans for 100's more and no one knows his where abouts? 800 seasonal winter employees want to know.. get my drift? I just am really curious, because mostly of how this info came about, it was weird, really weird. If it was snowing its butt off and CB quit selling tickets on a daily basis because of overcrowding, I would understand a disappearance more so than at a time of having to watch every paperclip and soda cup. Ever done the math on a 48m note and what the daily ticket sales alone need to be to average out a repayment?

hope this works................................. this is probably illegal or something..

48 million investment...... Way bigger than anything he has bit off before. I am just really curious.
