I drive a 2.0. Love the car to death. It gets me from a to b and that's what matters. I am in no way hating on bear creek it's just frustrating to see your home mountain behind the game. But hey that's life. They open when they open.

I don't think Tom is up marks ass at all. I'm not here to fight but everything Tom has said, whether its in this thread or another thread, has been dead accurate to a t. So good luck trying to downplay someone who is a big part of bear creek. Yes we know bear creek sucks and has made bad business decisions but its the dedication and loyalty of its riders that bring us back every year. Do I agree with all of bears business decisions or what they do? No way. But I go back every year and buy a pass because that is my 2nd home. I have never skied at another place that I enjoy as much as bear on a daily basis. Isn't that what it's all about? Having fun and getting away from the real world? If it isn't then I don't want to snowboard anymore.

I think the weight loss thread would be right up your alley

"Take a lap". Might have been the best thing I've ever read on pasr. And everyone talking about French fries. Spuds in kutztown is the way to go. Anything you want on fries.

Draufganger translates to daredevil I believe, something along those lines. Dragon fire sounds cooler though

Down flat down armada rail.

Might as well give this tr thing a shot. Left kutztown for big boulder at around 1:30. Arrived in the lot at 2:40 and the temp was hovering around 42 degrees. Downed a few beers while booting up/ waiting for opening. My first run of the day was down love park. The snow was nice, soft "packed powder". Love was thin width wise but seemed to have a decent base on it considering the warmer weather and rain we have been having. After I few runs on love we headed over to freedom. Freedom had a nice little setup to mess around on. If anyone is wondering it goes like this from top to bottom : Flat down butter box, down bar, flat mailbox, double wide mailbox, flat box, double barrel down rail, dfd rail, street handrail, c rail, side option mailbox, small jump thing, small bomb, then a z rail at the bottom. We took a few slow runs through the park to get our legs back under us then we went back out to the parking lot for a little to relax and drink more. This probably paid off because it took a while for the lights on freedom to come on, for whatever reason. Our next few runs were down snowdrift/ big boulder park. These two were definitely ROTD. Boulder park had wide coverage and you were really able to get some speed and make nice long carves. By about 7 things started to harden up with some icy spots and that's when we decided to call it a night. All in all it was pretty fun and good to be back on the snow again. I was surprised with how much snow boulder actually had considering the weather. The guns came on about 2 or 3 runs before we left. I'm going to venture to guess that was around 7:30. Seems like they're really pushing to be 100% by the holiday week. Money well spent though.

I like turtles

Guns were on at boulder when I left about an hour ago. Snow was nice and soft. Park was set up nice. Beers were consumed. All in all a good night

Camelbacks open?

Anyone gonna be there tonight? I should be roaming around somewhere for a little bit. Gotta love the extra money from selling books back!

Actually I don't see them being able to do anything this weekend, hike park included. I looked at the webcam on my phone and it looked like they had more down. 4 hours of production isn't enough. Good to see white on the ground again though

Guns are still on, doesn't look like they got too much done. They seem to only be blowing on Blackbear, possible hike park this weekend?

What's snow?

Yes but boulder doesn't have a hotel,spa, mtb trails, or do weddings in the off season.

Good luck with that. Natural snow pipes have not faired well at all in Nepa

there he is!

Absolutely 0 production from them last night

Never said it wasn't their fault last year there was a lot that happened that could have been different last year. But that's the past. This is a new season. Anyway, all seems quiet over there. No lights. No guns. Nothing.

Ill be wherever is open that I feel like driving too. If I don't get to be on snow this weekend then a couple cases of beer are going to lose their lives. I'm getting desperate

at least theyre trying to do something to save the mountain instead of rolling over dead some like business do when they're this far in the hole.

its really going to be a push and they need alot of things to fall into their favor but i think bear could open this weekend with at least a couple trails, depending on what mother nature decides to throw at them. they really need to push to open at a decent time this year to avoid all the backlash and negative reputation they got last year.

Mine aren't really vacation days. Just winter break from school. Not too sure why kutztown is giving us 6 weeks off this year but I'm not complaining. More time to be on the snow.

Lets hope they can get it done. My 6 week vacation starts Thursday and it would be nice if they were able to get something open by early next week.
