Im going to agree with you... I dont like their stuff either, it seems that their stuff seems to be better for major resorts, but not your everyday resort (ie. our area) If you want something done right, do it yourself... thats my stand point.

Hey BCP, I appreciate that alot. Im always down to hear ideas and pointers. I know that Im not going to be able to do everything I want in terms of unique setups because I am super limited by management (and a full staff!)... I praying that I can bring some respect back to their park and make it enjoyable for all levels of riders. But I have a feeling that because of restrictions that I won't be able to accomplish some dreams of mine. But Im a fighter and I know at least the actual setups will be perfect this year.

well i start the job the second week of november fixing all of the features and getting them ready for the season, the jumps will be pretty sweet this year on the trail. I wish I had CAT experience so I could cut a decent pipe, we do have a new pipe groomer... so i think only time will tell.

I'm guessing that you believe that this is impossible? idk what to think... i havent met papa yet.

Weird

yes, most likey more than full time sometimes... especially early in the season.

hey guys, they do not want to hire any more crew because they cant afford it. i know we need more than one guy but, idk... its their money. The setup will be good, i swear... but i dont have a problem having a meeting, that would be sweet shit to hear what you guys want, its your mountain anyway. Once we get closer to the season we can def talk more. Just remember that these guys are working off of what their consultants told them, non of them really ride. thats kind where I come in! I promise this park will be great this year. Here is my SN, Kreisch17 thanks for your input, ill need it!

totally hear you man... the lines are crazy at creek on the weekends and week nights after school, but shawnee never has that problem... and lets hope that shaw's park gets better this year

hey shred dog... whats with the dirty jersey logo and the shawnee home mountain? its like looking in the mirror

Well finally something useful on this board! We'll I would like to introduce myself to you, My name is Keith and I am the park crew, thats right... me and really only me. This year I will hope to have major influence on shawnee's park. I'm going to go over your ideas and explain the details of shawnee's stand point, I must say I do not have the ability to speak for Shawnee Mountain on this board. But I'll do my best. Park Crew: Hi, I am the park crew... me and only me. I will be out there patrolling the park day in and day out. I will be fixing features and maintaining the jumps, kickers, and yes even tranny's. More Jumps: The design has not been planned yet, we have some good ideas already but nothing is set in stone as of yet. I would like to setup 2 to 3 different size kickers each on the first plateau's after the pipe. When I was there about 2 weeks ago I got a tour of the trail and I will agree with you, those are the best places for nice booters. Multi booters MUST be the way to go in order to supply the best rounded riding from beginners to shred dogs... Don't be surprised to see some 35'+ booters, But i'd imagine smaller beginner jump features as well. Boxes: Will be resurfaced with thicker material... no bubbles Park Pass: NO PARK PASS, my boss and I pushed for this, but they do not want to pay people $8 an hour to check park passes. It may sound cheap, but everything adds up in the end. I will be patrolling to keep those "leashes" out of our park! There is nothing I hate more than people who "ride" over beautiful kickers that I will have a hand in building. People who do not belong on features, WILL NOT be riding them and getting themselves hurt. My main concern is safety for everyone. Creek: I have been a Season Pass holder in dirty jerz for 4 years... and I love their parks and setups. And nothing compares to their jibs! Now try to understand that creek is owned and operated by INTRAWEST resorts, they own whistler, stratton, mammoth... yea they are huge. Shawnee is independently owned, therefor its very costly to maintain in terms of lawyers. Here is a crash course in what the resort community calls "Risk Management" The safer the easier, the less accidents, the less law suits! Enter into the topic of shawnee's rails/boxes. Gaps are extremely frowned upon by management because this adds MORE RISK to the features. Hopefully you will get your gaps, it all depends if they consider my opinion and building techniques. There is nothing I love more than a nice 5-7' gap onto a rail, but if anything count on 3'-5'. Explain last years C box setup for me if you don't mind... both sides? WALLRIDE: I know how to place one right... I actually stalled creeks last year, and its more than double the size of shawnee's. (16' creek ---> 7' shawnee) But i promise it will be fun! Again if they listen... Next to the pipe... Some thing needs to go there... I'm thinking a down rail and another feature... but a lot of snow needs to be blown for that to happen so id wait till later in the season for any hope. The PIPE: Not my area, i'll give them ideas on how to groom it, but i'm thinking ill be "in the trench" raking out nice flowing transitions. Thanks for the ideas, do you have any pics from last years setups, i wasn't a regular... hell i had creek, but anything would help. If you are there 4x's a week, we wont miss each other, Ill be getting feed back regularly from the field to make everything better for everyone. Hope this clears a lil more up!

Hey everyone, I just received word today that I offically have the assistant park manager job today at shawnee mountian for '05 '06...

Hey everyone, we got bored today and threw down some ice... it was a waste of time but sammy got to slide the s-box... check out the video at garagecreation.tripod.com

Hey Papasteeze, Your S-Box pics you wanted just got uploaded... hope you everyone likes it!

Added the S-Box pic in the Photo/Video Section

Just added the link!

My entire crew appreciates everything, and working shawnees park would definitely be a dream job... lets hope everything flows well (no pun intended)

Speed is always the hardest, we want the jump bigger this year but I need to build a nice size starting ramp, probably around 8'-10' tall. Yea that was mountain creek, thats basically my home mountain in the winter. I recived an e-mail from Adam the park director at shawnee yesterday, he wanted to call me sometime today to talk over the details and when i could start. Im working all day until 7pm, so it may or may not happen, but ill keep everyone posted.

I will be transferring there next august.

Hey everyone, I just put up a small website with tripod to show some of our stuff that we do at my house... its got pics and a nice 2 min+ movie of last years riding with my crew. Check it out and let me know what you think! (steeze... let me know if i can advertise PASR on there) http://garagecreation.tripod.com/

it has benn dry definatly, but the colors are slowly changin...

New c-box pics wit coping... top sheet, and siding to come later http://www.paskiandride.com/forums/index.p...m&album=60&st=0

well considering im a park rat im gonna say no, but their conditions are probably the best in our area... But even with that, i would never pay for a season pass there, their asking price is ridiculous! If im gonna spend that much ill just move to vermont where I can have 100's of more feet in vert.

Winter will be here before you know it!

I believe stratton has a good academy near it for freestyle, and i wouldn't be suprised if they had some good racing as well. Their race course is open early every year.

dont even try to think about it, i was close being able to stall the 16' one at creek, but if you look at my member gallery pic it took a little getting used to. http://www.paskiandride.com/forums/index.p...&cmd=si&img=425
