anyone have any idea why the s rail is over by e chair on the beginner slope?
-
I still think we should run over the parking lot attendants
-
That will actually help bear out!
-
Skate rail that's it. No bonk anywhere in sight. Coverage is getting pretty thin in some spots too
-
I have pics from today but they're on my buddy's camera so ill post em as soon as he gets them online.
-
Ill be there in the am. Parking lot beers at 8 if anyone cares to join. Dark grey knife show hoodie with blue pants. Green jetta. Stop by and drink a beer.
-
I'd say its a little busy....
-
They'll be crowded till about 7 tomorrow. Nye is really hit or miss on the crowds. But yes they are extremely crowded today from the looks of the webcam.
-
holy fucking liftline. makes me happy i have work stuff to do today and couldn't go.
-
Let me know what you think of Art of Flight. always interested to hear what non snowboarders think of snowboard movies.
-
5" of fresh 5" of man made. that or they're using the ruler that has inches 1-5 cut off.

on a serious note, you cant blame bear creek for the place being crowded. look at its location. its an EASY shot if you live anywhere west of philly. Obviously people are going to go to a closer place, especially when gas is 3-4 dollars a gallon. It's tough to say how many tickets bear creek should stop at too. It all depends on how many cars are full or how many cars only have 1 person in them. Bear has learned from that though. if i remember correctly it was either mlk day or presidents day last year that they put something on facebook, twitter, their website, and whatever else DAYS in advance that said once capacity was hit they would be turning cars away so either carpool or get there early. Would it suck to get turned away? hell yeah it would, especially if you drove more than 20 minutes to get there. BUT, they have these awesome new devices called radios that the lot attendants should be using to tell either management or the front office when the lots are starting to get full, or vice versa. All the blame cant be put on management in these situations though. If its that busy imagine how much shit they have on their plate between making sure everythings running smoothly, and the complaints from ignorant parents wondering why little suzy has to wait 30 minutes in the lift line to fall off at the top. that's my rant for the day. take it as you see it. Money does some strange things to people. When management sees their sales margins rising why turn people away? thats like someone handing you a ben franklin and you saying "no its fine i already have a couple i dont want any more" Shit happens.

the cops are always at bear creek,the state police have an office in the lodge by guest services your argument is invalid. obviously im just being a jackass.
-
I haven't been to frost in a couple years but I believe they're somewhat sheltered from the wind. I'm not sure about wind holds on lifts though as they're all fixed grip lifts.
-
Tomorrow is going to be a mad house. Should lighten the crowds at blue though as Tom dick and Harry are going to be able to bring their 4 kids to bear for the same price as one ticket with less of a drive. Anyway I hope everyone has a good opening day. I wish I could go but I've got too much stuff to do tomorrow.
-
Watched all of them. Damn good series.
-
If you're into snowboarding at all the art of flight is a good movie. It's on Netflix as well. Lots of backcountry riding. If not then I don't have any suggestions.
-
Could bear try harder? Of course they can. Am I going to sit on the Internet and bitch about it? No because a multi million dollar company like bear creek isn't going to listen to someone of a message board of like 10 active members. I'm not riding bear creeks dick at all I've just accepted the fact that it takes them till January to open anything.
-
Are you completely oblivious to the things bear does for it's customers? Wow a dick up my ass joke. Haven't heard that one in a while. You and I both know for a fact you would be the same one bitching if they decided not to open tomorrow.

Yes bear creek hates its riders. That's why they offer us a season pass discount, discounted tickets tomorrow, dropped 100k on snow guns, blew snow in marginal conditions when they could have easily just said fuck it and not blown at all, not to mention all the other promos bear does. So tell me again how much bear creek hates is customers. They can't control the weather. Bear isn't the only place being bent over by the big dick of Mother Nature. Blue, camelback, even frost had some problems opening up this year. You're right though why only open with 1 trail? All or nothing right!

Opening on Sunday with trails tba. Quality>quantity
-
According to some of the people on Facebook it is.
-
Ah nevermind they cleared it up on Facebook. Makes sense now. Conpletley forgot about the cats and how much they pull up. Oh well.
-
I don't understand bear creeks logic sometimes.
-
Guns seem to still be going. Surprising. It's 35 degrees here in kutztown and it feels pretty warm in the sun. Just waiting on that opening or not announcement. Who's in for 8am beers in the lot tomorrow?
