then again, you'll still get the snobby rich families who think nothing of it. some punk kid telling them they cant ski down this trail. theyd look down the trail and say, "we'll be fine, get out of my way"

are you guys gonna try and use space at a mountain that already exists, or are you gonna make it to where theres no relation to any mountain? or, has any mountain in the area shown interest? where would it go?

they need to re-work the skiers code just for that reason. its an entirely different way of riding in parks.

doug made a poll i cant find the link

although everytime i go to blue the only part that has alot of noobs is the lower park (i dont know the name, the one that ends at the lifts). upper sidewinder didnt have anybody who shouldnt be there, and if there was someone who didnt belong, they didnt get in the way. which is kind of cool cause you got one advanced park and one begginer that way.

weekend warriors and tourist arent gonna go through the trouble of locating the office, requesting it, and pulling it out to be checked everytime.

lets assume they are free, since someone said some mtns have them for free. you just have to request one.

haha nevermind

something like this...

i wasnt gonna post in here but i have a question about park passes. this was probably already disscused in another thread but whatever. terrain parks are made for a reason, to use the features in the parks, rails, boxes, jumps, pipes etc. etc. theyre not there for their steep terrain. what would it cost the mountain to institute a park pass? and what kind of profit would they get from charging for it?

heres a graph if you didnt see this... http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/econ07.htm

exchange is like 83cents on the dollar

whistler. my sis just got back from tremblant, it wasnt to0 good she said, but what does she know. whistler has more terrain. although im not sure how much of it is opened. i would just go to whistler

your bindings wouldnt happen to be salomons would they?

for real, if they were worried about saftey theyd put more fences up along the sides of the trails.

so, we dont spend money on food/services...what else is there? i think you just said pass holders dont have any real value...if you didnt, then what value do we have? at least thats how i understood it they could definately show that better

i am soon but it wont do anything for me you dont have much room to talk either

well, heres another factor. kids have half days most of the week.

so they closed because of ice? big deal, its the poconos, thats all we have.

thats the best setup ive seen on a rainbow rail. i like the ollie on. for skiers anyway

i hope its not the rainbow rail in your icon

i just realized that this freeride program may be the reason they stepped up their park. i dont know how i missed that.

i win still

ok well, i guess this is kind of complicated but ill ask anyway.. when youre on edge, you accerlerate. so you do infact accerlerate through a turn. (or so im told) has anyone done a study on this? the ratio of accerleration:resistance? or something like that. going straight down a hill flat on your bases with like a 10mph headwind going 45mph. then compare that to you making a (however many degree) turn on you edges with a 10mph headwind. basically... how much does being on your edges accelerate you? i guess it all depends on the angle and all, but in general?

i dont know much about racing, but when i watch it on tv, sometimes positions are seperated by .01 seconds. so...does hittin the gates effect your time (like slow your momentum down) and if it does, would taking the turn that tight as to hit the gate make up for actually hitting it, as opposed to taking a wider turn and not hitting the gate?
