They are not days. they are visits... For the last time it is a really poor way to describe what is actually happening. Doug, since you seem to be really lacking on the definition of a day, I thought I would help you out with this: The period of light between dawn and nightfall; the interval from sunrise to sunset. The 24-hour period during which the earth completes one rotation on its axis. The period during which a celestial body makes a similar rotation. (Abbr. D) One of the numbered 24-hour periods into which a week, month, or year is divided. The portion of a 24-hour period that is devoted to work, school, or business: an eight-hour day; a sale that lasted for three days. A 24-hour period or a portion of it that is reserved for a certain activity: a day of rest. A specific, characteristic period in one's lifetime: In Grandmother's day, skirts were long. A period of opportunity or prominence: Every defendant is entitled to a day in court. That child will have her day. A period of time in history; an era: We studied the tactics used in Napoleon's day. The day of computer science is well upon us. days Period of life or activity: The sick cat's days will soon be over.

Absolutely.............!!!!

damn........................................... yeah ben! thanks for the update.

yeah and you are probably one of those guys who thinks 2 hours on the slopes equals one day Interesting how different the snow is between CB and BB.. they both blew the same time and they are close to each other. BB's snow is of much better "quality" BB was more granular through out the day and CB was more slushy like.

Discussion of ParkLogic Petition
Papasteeze replied to method9455's topic in Jack Frost & Big Boulder
It was very good on saturday. I doubt anyone has anything close to what they have set up in our area. They have a great base and all the set ups were clean. The crews were frequently maintaining the small bomb holes. CB's holes were 5 times the size on sunday comapritively. They also mid day groomed the jumpline on saturday. I can't remember ever seeing any mountain regroom jumps mid day. -
Man... that is going to chew up alot of snow. Is it designed just for disastering? no way to make that one a ride on. LOL!
-
sno mountain has a half pipe?
-
I would speculate that Merry widow, the intermediate park would be best.

CUTE without the E from the Team?

I love how you rake muck and talk like you think you know. have a little inferiority complex do ya? The fact of the matter is you are still a kid. As an administrator of this site who should be setting an example for others you are doing a fine job by what? Muck raking about things you know nothing about? ah yep I have a huge dispute.. it's a fine example that an PASR administrator uses my name and posts OFF TOPIC personal issues publicly. Can't anyone moderate this user who is abusing his priviledges? -

Justo - They are ultra focused. I don't know first hand how blue is holding up but Go and check BB out, it is worth the trip. Everyone is accessible and eager to hear feedback.. Seek them out and give them your thoughts. Soft snow condtions make merry widow tough but you if you clean the urban and come off the next box and not speed checkthe first jump you will carry enough speed into the second jump which has a huge run-out - (no danger of over shooting anything_ in other words. down to the huge battleship and up/down. Everyone seems to be stoked on the beginner park. Plenty of experts are getting in that park too. Kids were getting really creative with everything. Keep the pressure on. once you are at the top, it is too easy to fall down. -
Lap top? BB has wireless in thier lodge. MIssed you yesterday? Say hi to the boys for us. we will be ther plenty during the break.
-
That freakin sucks!!! BB is in really good shape and I saw little if any melt off yesterday. It dropped several degrees below freezing last night.

Boulder Saturday 12/16
Papasteeze replied to Who Wants To Shred?'s topic in Jack Frost & Big Boulder
The conditions were really good yesterday, weather considered. Things firmed up at about 4pm and I heard complaints, but the snow was a lot faster and those with skills didn't have any problems The jumps are nice. they could be tweaked to individual preferences but they were expert quality. nipples wanted more lip for easier corking for example. -

This is really ironic coming from someone who washes cars and just got out of high school and lives at home with a country club life style. What do you know of any business or managing employees Jeff? Lead, follow, or get out of the way. Call me jeff, when you have a real job, that you earned and let me know how your adult life is going. It is also ironic that you guys wanted me to market this place, but guess what? You didn't like the way I was doing it or what I said needed to be done, so now you still sit with essentially no marketing, no snow perks from a powerful medium, basically just a hobby which is cool!!!!! I wonder if PL was challenged the same way. "we want to be the next Snow Park NZ, can you do it?" BB apparently didn't like the way they were doing it and.. Both points are very very correct. Most great and flamboyant leaders end up self destructing and typcially bring about thier demise by reasons of turmoil. Jeff knows that I rarely post on weekends. He also knows that I did not appreciate having my son dragged into a thread I made. This is probably his futile attempt at what, retaliation? That point has not been overlooked. Here again this is a board of snow lovers. Not ski resort employees. 99% of the people who post here probably do not know or care about the details of ski resort management. While I think I would have supported PL for one season - I do understand thier decision and will continue to support BB because I am convinced after what I saw yesterday that it will be the sickest Park in our area. did I mention they mid day groomed yesterday and they probably blew snow last night and that they have real jumps and jibs set up everywhere? This one is tough. Excellent managers, owners, CEO's hire experts in thier fields to run departments. BB's intent is apparently to have the best park in the region, however it was PL who was saying that. PL ran the place as it was thier own, there is nothing the matter with that as long as it was explained to the other employees that that was what was going to happen and to follow thier lead. how many licks does it take get to the center of a tootsie pop? Too bad we couldn't have run 2 separate paths... BB is looking really great and the fact that were readying the guns again last night plus I HAVE NEVER SEEN MID DAY GROOMING ON A JUMP RUN - things have and are seriously progressing there. To anyone who doesn't believe me. visit there today and check it out. -
thanks joe, that rail jam has been a tradition for us. not sure if we can make the 1st though

Boulder Saturday 12/16
Papasteeze replied to Who Wants To Shred?'s topic in Jack Frost & Big Boulder
excellent condtions and plenty of coverage no thin areas worth talking about. Nipples hit the slopes at 8:30 am and we left at 9:30 that equals 6 doug days. Mid day grooming of merry widow!!!!!! not that it really needed it. no lift lines!! did I mention that it is cold enough and they are planning to blow more snow tonight? this computer won't do video clips... grrrrrrr.. A 30 and 25 footer or a 50 and 45 footer depending on how you measure. lots of jibs - get the list from the 12/15 update anyway, lots of new plans as soon as they can get more coverage. The name Big Boulder Park appears everywhere now. I haven't been to blue and I know the weather is hurting BC. so speculation on my part. But BB is probably winning the race.. LOL! -

If you get this, find Ridge, apparently first day ski team is basics 101.. that doesn't do any good for him and will probably hurt. I'll tell him to look for you
