I asked an employee at a resort why they don't leave up the gates for the public to use. His response was liability. I just responded by asking, putting rails and all sorts of stuff all over parks isn't a liability?....I got no answer .

And this is coming from somebody who turns down free passes at other places, because they don't have 10000000 feet of vert I bet you I do.

From that thread: " I"m sure we haven't been perfect. We've probably made some mistakes we won't even realize until later." Like making passholders get a ticket every time.

You can definately tell the difference, on days when there are temperature inversions. It's like going into a freezer, when you go off of the last headwall.

I could live with the NF, but I still like variety of trails to choose from.

Man, I hope they don't start to do stupid sh*t like BB is doing. I was hoping to possibly have a better place for at night.

They've been working on that trail for about two "off seasons" now. It almost seems that it's not a big priority to open it, or the money might not be there to do the work. I wonder if some other group is holding it up???????

I was looking at the pass prices. I think I might get the Sun-Fri pass, to use as another mountain. Besides, I might need a place to

. I must not be down with the lingo.

I heard that they are going to open up some trails toward the eastern half of the mountain and even have a high speed lift running.

At this time of the year, I'd think that the only thing that could be accomplished would be new lighting. I'm still hoping and keeping my eyes open for some type of really cheap pass, to use as a second mountain.

Now, now . The angel members won't like that.

JF is a good place, with a friendly atmosphere and does not get over-crowded. Like others have said, try out a bunch of places at least once, then decide where to get a pass. Who knows, maybe you will be surprised and like somepace different. It would be an injustice not to.

I don't see that happening, soon. Elk's locals seem to have accepted the slow lifts and actually seem to appreciate the fact that they help to keep the crowds away. You should at least have a couple more years until you have to worry about it becoming as crowded as Blue. I actually liked the fact that I could go to Sno at noon, and have fresh trails to play on.

By the time they open, they will have to close.

Anybody know if the water park is going to open this year? The website doesn't give much info.

Keeping the whole mountain open on cold days

What I meant was blow it on the trails that are closed. I can do without skiing through blowing snow.

That's been my argument all along. Ultimately, they will lose pass holders/ ticket sales from people who can only get out at night. I can live with keeping it the way it was this year. Don't mess with the trails that were free, this year. Once Sno Mt. gets all of their improvements done, that might very well be the place that I will go to....especially if I don't have a night option anymore.

Terrain parks on all slopes? Snow blowing during the daytime, to get things open quicker?

...

It will never happen.

Definately . Same shit over and over again. Eventually BB will figure out what they are doing.

Not to mention that real gangsta's don't like posers like this, so it's kind of dumb to do it.

Damn, I'll miss the roundtop riders
