  1. there was a time when you weren't even alowed to jump and you got your pass pulled if you did. times change, things change. this is 2009. that wasnt part of the pump line, obviously.
  2. i started this thread for people to see what was happening at Blue.... not to complain about the parks and what trail they are on. if you have something to contribute about the new things starting up at Blue, then contribute. if not, don't comment.
  3. i <3 pasr
  4. is this the beer league race thing?
  5. worst feature ever. goes down right with the crackerbarrel.
  6. those are from 2 years ago. here are a few of them building the park last year, if it gives you guys out west a better idea of what the most recent park at Blue has looked like while being built and groomed out to open. the 40+ days that i skied the park when it was open last year it was usually maintained extremely well. of course, i was usually there during off-peak times such as weekday/weekend mornings, and day sessions when there wasn't much traffic, and when they were building it to try out the jibs. so my opinion may be skewed compared to those who can't make it during prime times, yet still accurate.
  7. no, the 4 jump line was all on the second of 3 straight sections. no turns involved in the jump line.
  8. nick, since you have been there it has greatly improved and i think you would be impressed compared to the crappy park they had in the past. if you are home this winter you should check it out.
  9. it is true. i saw it myself. and since you are big on the whole "straight run only for a park thing", you will be happy to know that the halfpipe is now going to be a rail garden of some sort with multiple jibs, and its on a stright run. pictures of the features are earlier in the thread so i'm sure you saw them already...
  10. this year they have a winch cat, and we have been told that it will be used to make steeper landings, which will result in making them easier to maintain and less bomb holes.
  11. + stoke on the nice picture made in paint. <3 it molly.
  12. Blue in the news: http://www.wnep.com/videobeta/watch/?watch=77e6f0af-f290-4711-a70b-e59012c23e31
  13. ah thats great. weekend festivities will hopefully follow the same path as last weekend...
  14. lots of fun things at Blue this year! can't wait to ride with everybody there!
  15. i'm naming it the bonzai. quote that. and use it the rest of the season.
  16. so me and Justo took a little trip up to Blue to see what was going on since the season is getting closer. quite a few changes and the place looks great. i'm ready for a great year up there. view of Blue from the base. say goodbye to the half pipe. gonna be filled in and turned into another park. love it. we explored some of the mountain bike trails that they put in. they are freakin' awesome. because of this, and multiple other trails, i'm looking to buy a mountain bike. view of the base from Falls (which looks incredibly steep with no snow on it) Nightmare is almost ready to go. snowguns in, light poles up. just waiting for lights and snow. looks like it will be a nice addition to the rest of Blue. snow! we then decided to take the Blue Mountain Shuttle around the mountain to check out sidewinder and some other mountain bike trails. if you were thinking of hitting the old C box next year, think again. this is how its supported. haha. we also walked to the top to check out the new rails that our ParkCrue friends were creating. so far so good. down rails, down flat down rail, down box. double C, and a couple C boxes which we are told, will make up multiple stair sets in the new park. aaaaand thats about it for now. hopefully we will be skiing somewhere here in PA within the next month because i'm ready.
  17. i'll take them for however much you paid for them :-)

    $120? you might as well save the money and strap your feet to fun noodles from your pool because thats all you will be getting with that kind of money. sack up and throw some more coin down for something if you are actually going to ski.
  22. i was told that it wasnt going to open because of the drainage system that they have. something about how the pitch is too steep for the water to be able to collect and the sediment will all wash away causing erosion of the land. and then i also heard that they found 3 bald eagle nests that they arent allowed to move which interfere with snowgun placement. the EPA was there last week talking to them about it. so i dont think its going to happen. just the word on the street. we'll see.
  23. wonderful.
