Man you made my day! lol shit i wish i was that young again. My back hurts just thinking ill be 26 in less than a month lol Oh shit i forgot the main reason for the reply... uhhh dont you have to be "skilled" in park... im not saying im shawn white by anymeans but im not as good as some of the others that have been doing park crue for years. working park crue would be pretty f'in sweet though.

HA, nice my kind of job lol.

Has anyone worked Security for Blue? Whats the pay like..... Im thinking I could find more money scattered in my car and sofa cushions than I'll make in a week working for them. Im in it for the Season Pass. My buddy said lift operator would be boring but I dont think so, Looking at the Snow Bunnies would be plus. I ask cause 3 of my friends which are around my age 22 to 25 are working secur ity this season and I want a free pass I'll do some bitch work for free riding anyday.

Why would anyone make a fake profile and put the location for Jamaica? You want to hear a funny joke? Your a Douch hahahaha. Ya old post I know, I just came across it now.

Hm, thats a good point I thought so to? Wasn't so sure about Paradise but I was aware of Razors having automated snow. If Sidewinder has automated guns thats news to me. I almost live on Sidewinder when im on the Mtn and I never saw Snow being blowed on the trail ever.

Not going to be opening on Dec 4th with days still being 68 degrees "like today" and if it holds up the rest of the week is forcasted to be in the mid to upper 50's and even low 60's if it keeps up this way Blue won't open till the Second or maybe Third week of December, unless we get a serious cold snap in the next two weeks it's going to be a late start to our 09-10 Season.

Ouch, that sux so bad.

Ray's Grill on Skis sounds pretty dope to me. Wonder if they will have Baby Back Ribs YUM! That would be the tits, finger licken good right on my board.... haha I tear down the slopes with a big rack of Ribs in my mouth

hahahaha +1

Oh yeah, good point. It was only 3 seasons ago Well none the less snowgrind and park crue are looking pretty sharp, hope to keep up the good work. Can't wait to shred the Bonzai

That was quite interesting R.I.P old Sidewinder Park I miss the good ol' days.

I think it's stored where Electricity likes to play Gin Rummy and 21 Pickup, it also could be stored in the Land Of Oz

I would imagin nuclear, there is one down by Maple Grove Raceway and a few outside Philadelphia etc. THIS EXPLAINS IT http://www.epbj.com/node/286

thats what I say, they are animals they have brains... granted not very big ones... BUT none the less they can do some thinking for themselves and say.... hmmmm this big object wasnt here last year when I passed through I think i'll fly into it... Or maybe they will? Who knows, we can just get National Geographic to do a hour long show of how a Wind Turbine killed off all the Hawks & Eagles. I'd watch that. It will put Blue Mountain on the map.

thats the only thing the naturalists got to fend with to shutting the turbine idea down.

Thank god the past stays in the past, and they got together with snow grind to put them on a better track. they have had some horrible features in teh past. I want to see some 20 foot booters to flat down flat rails for the landing hahaha ULTIMATE EXTREME SPORTS

Yeah I knew about the test turbine, they've had it up since sometime in 2008 so Blue should have some good readings of wind speed and direction by now. It's a great sign that no one has knocked the idea of it down besides the damn tree huggin hippies. I hope it can be a reality soon. Interviews say that the mountain spends on verage of 300,000 dollars a month on electricity..... Those numbers are staggering! Not to mention cost will go up this season with electricity caps ending this year is ridiculous. I Hope we all can see blue take one step forward to a better "resort"

Nice timespan Barb.... It's only a difference of 29 days.

True or False? Found some interesting Faq's on it, WFMZ did a segment on it back in 08' said could be a Reality in 2010. I can't believe though that the damn hippie nation will put down the idea becasue of the Migratory pattern of Eagles and what not. They can't look at the bright side that it will also help not use least half as much Electricity and everything else that goes with it. I like what Barbara said about the Migratory pattern though with having a Turbine "We can just shut it off when we don't need it on" REALLY? No shit. But Really it would be pretty sweet to see a huge Wind Fan up on the mountain at a distance. NOT to mention with the Money they save over the years that Barbra can put all the extra to "real" upgrades to the Resort.

HA, yeah tell me about it. Thought it was going to be ALOT better than it was. Oh well.

Yeah not so great if you ask me, Went with Rodeo Steve and a bunch of my other fellow Blue Mountain Park Rats. Must have been around 60 People hittin a 20Ft Rail. Kinda lame if you ask me I didn't even participate in it.

Spotters yes, thats exactly what I do and my friends do for me on the jump line. Wait till they give me the signal that it's clear to go. When I go by myself I always have the whoole I hope no one is sitting on or near the landing. OH and when I said staircase I ment the staircase in the park after the rail garden. I was approaching the case and spotting my run on the rail and this i dunno 17yr old came out of no where on my right out of control and ran right into me his edge gashed my leg and I was knocked out for a few minutes.

I fucking hate when Gapers do that shit! They look at you like YOU were the person in the wrong because YOU not them almost cut you off and YOU were the idiot that bailed because it was the right thing to do but stil came "too" close to the assholes that decided to ski on the landing and that they have the damn nerve to say something like watch out.... Fuck You asshole you are the one being the dumbass and not obeying park rules, god people like that I just want to smack. BUT yes + a million for the Sidewinder Parkpass PLEASE! I had an accident on the stairs last year because some douchbag blindside me after the fact that I waited for a clear shot to go. I was out for a week after that. It's the people that want to and love to ride Park that are getting hurt, not the idiots that absolutely could give two shits about riding park they just want to get in the way and cause problems. I am really sick and tired of dealing and see it happen to others.

this is what SkiTown.com has to say about Blue. Blue Mountain will be featuring 4 terrain parks this year plus one snow-cross trail. ~ Sidewinder Park: 3,500 ft designed for advanced skiers and boarders which includes a 40 ft double barrel straight, 40 ft down flat down, 35 ft 180 degree C box, down flat down S, street staircase, 8 ft wide butterbox with grindable rails, 70 ft jumps, rhythm sections, and tabletops ~ Come Around Park: 1,700 ft of intermediate hits and features ~ Terrain Run Park: 1,200 ft of novice hits and features ~ Central Park: "Bringing the streets to the slopes" with 2 brand new, one of a kind stair sets from snow grind, among other street related elements

So im guess they are going to make the old terrain run just a free flowing run like shuttle or home stretch? well maybe not after all Blue finally updated the trail map and it has it as central park and terrain run is still set up as freestyle.
