if you want to improve on skills in the park and learn to do more than 50/50 a box then its not pricey at all. its not cheap to go to a camp either but i dont see you complaining about that. there are more people that do the race team crap each year and that costs $500... not including skis that are more expensive than twins and it also doesnt incluide the cost to travel and enter into a bunch of different races all the time. its the first year for the program. i think that 6 kids in it is a great start for people not having any exposure to them in previous years. i'll be out there tomorrow early in the AM... most likely for opening. i'll keep my eyes open for Freeriders

its worth a shot

Chris, do you know what is on the agenda for tomorrow since its supposed to rain? have any plans for indoor training/activities/movie watching?

i have seen them blow on 12 trails top to bottom at once. i'm sure they can have razors covered with a couple inches. razors is fine though, the only trail as of right now that needs snow badly is the park.

just hit on some guy, if you would do that i'm sure he would help with funds for the day. you're hot and should use that to your advantage

oh yeah, its the truth. i saw him as i was hiking the park, he was in the lower park. then he was on his ass on sidewinder a few times. me and my friends always "call" the people that look like the biggest freaks on the mountain.... once piece suits, flourescent colors, etc... well lets just say he was the call of the night.

there is no way that it is as bad as Bear. i thought you skied the park, thats why i told you to stay home... everything else is skiable. there arent any dirt slalom courses setup at Blue... yet

yeah i saw him too... and i hate whoever it was because all they did was hit the lips onto rails like jumps and ruin them... sweet.

some parts are kinda sketchy. challenge has some dirt showing... and top of razors. i dont know about any of the trails on the west side because those are all beginner and blue squares. if you arent skiing the park then you should be fine maybe

i was up there today i'm not kidding... if you are going to ski the park then don't go. its the worst that it has been all season. there were 2 rails that were set-up well and the rest of the park sucked. i'm usually on here to promote how good Blue's park is but honestly, if you go sunday, you will be extremely dissappointed.

not in the park man. i just got back. its rough. its bad. its shit. there is a 1 foot wide path of snow leading to each of the first jumps. that will be gone tomorrow and be a nice rock in-run unless they plow the jumps over to cover it.

icy? i think you mean grassy. its going to be hell. the rain will kill what is left. but whatever is left will be ice. yay.

you dont even want to know what the rain on saturday is going to do to every resort in PA.... thank god for cold temps next week. Blue better blow for 240 hours straight. yeah i said it. 240.

just got back after 10 runs. dont go. its bad. and te 2" of rain tomorrow isnt going to help anything either. wait until they can blow snow all next week and go next weekend. you will just be dissappointed if you go up. believe me.

colored lights? that is freakin awesome... if any mountain around here were to do it, it would be Bear because Blue doesn't care about the lighting in their park. most of the times the lights randomly go off and never come bck on the rest of the night. by the end of the night you are holding your cell phone open just so you can see... well its not that bad, but it does suck.. after today, though, i think a lot of mountains are going to have their landing marked... with mud.

i always wondered about you.... i think that secured my thoughts.

Doug, a 50/50 is what you do....

yeah the rain is going to kill it. crap. didnt think about that. oh well, i'll still be there.

actually. Pohachek called his drop as well. i was standing next to him. just because you were going faster doesnt mean you have the right of way. yeah maybe you called your drop, but i didnt hear and it neither did he. next time make sure there isnt anybody there. sometimes you cant hear people call their drop if they are that far behind you... how would you like it if somebody came from nowhere and cut you off? just make sure there isnt anybody there if you are going to do that

1) downkink railbox nice lip... have to ollie about one foot up... lip does most of the work for you 2a) 15ft jump... decent lip and okay landing when ski clubs arent there 2b) 25ft jump... perfect lip... decent landing when there arent people standing on it with snowblades 3) 20ft up-flat rail... set-up well with about 1 foot gap onto it.. smooth as hell. steep landing 4) 45ft battleship box... ride-on style (unfotunately) 5) c-rail... gap on... always kinda sketchy so i dont know what else to tell you 6) 45ft booter... good lip, need plenty of speed, landing could be steeper but still good. 7) wall ride 8) 20ft flat-down-flat rail... 2-3 foot gap onto it... smooth and tons of fun 9) 25ft flat-down box... 3 foot gap, nice lip, nice box 10a) 35ft jump... nice lip, good landing 10b) 55ft booter... perfect lip, perfect landing when there arent piles of slush at the bottom. carry a shitlad of speed into it 11) hip 12a) handrail on staircase 12b) boxrail on staircase lower park or pipe... ***pipe*** was really good tonight.. might look sketchy from the top but the walls are decent and it was nice and soft ***lower park*** 1a) 15ft jump... landing usually rutted out because its the beginner park 1b) 30ft jump... nice lip, short but good landing, carry speed and dont stop at the top of the park 2) 15ft mini battleship box... fun to play around on 3) mailbox... sitting on kind of a 1/4 pipe, also fun to play on 4a) 25ft flat down box... really wide and fun 4b) flat box... ride-on of course, just like the rest of the lower park everything is kinda slushy.. still fun to cruise through the park though. i'll be up tomorrow afternoon when my lab is done for a bit i think... depending on whats going on at school. maybe i'll see you in the park

unfortunately there isnt much that is going to happen with any of that this season.. you just gotta deal with the people in it and the way that its set-up. its a new world compared to the park from last year although its getting kinda beat with this weather.

they wont replace them. the topsheet desnt have much of an effect on the way they aki anyway. this year they made the topsheet out of ptex (or something like that) so that it wont be able to delaminate from smacking down on jumps. you can just fix the scratches.

i'll be up there at 7:30... maybe later depending on the night before....

there are about 6 kids ages 9-15 and 3 instructors... and a bunch of other twintippers usually pal around too.

she wasnt hot though so it wasnt worth it....
