Oh, I'm banking on the fact that CB will not close due to lack of coverage. It will just arbitrarily close, with a resonable base on most trails. They will just close because operations will cost more than the tickets purchases for the day. Reguardless I'm saying the 25th sounds as good as anything barring any heat wave.

Steven is a small guy, and more into rails. He just doesn't have the weight/leg power to boost anything real big like a 50 foot kicker. I know they love bear's park, but I think everything was just about perfect for him. He's super good, so in a few years, stuff like that will mean a lot more to him, but he seemed to love the line he was laying down in boulders rail park, but thats just what I saw, maybe there are other reasons why he liked boulder better.

Welcome, I think I met you last year at CB when you were up with your skiclub. Is your name steph?

Thats kinda creepy dude, its your cousin. Are you from kunkletown by chance?

Thanks for the pics, but... uh you missed the the titanic.

We are interested please post.

I understand not all upgrades are visable. Though their effect should be seen. If new guns/compressors are really there, shouldnt the mountain open faster? I understand weather is a factor, but CB was rather sluggish getting everything open. Blue was fully open WEEKS before CB. From my memory, CB used to be the leader in the area in snowmaking (maybe I'm wrong, maybe they still are but refuse to use what power they have idk). If the money is going to grooming, then why isn't the grooming better, for instance why is the pipe so infrequently cut. I honestly beleive the equipment they purchase yearly (guns compressors etc) is not additional equipment, its replacement equipment. If its replacing older equipment it will be more efficient or whatever, maybe even put out snow a little faster but there is a big difference between replacing equipment and adding new equipment to the mountain. It just irritates me that they add the expensive new slides or pools and such each year for camelbeach, but they can't put new jibs in the park, or fix the ones they currently have. It doesn't cost much to get/make rails and boxes. For a company like camelback the couple hundred to put some new rails in is nothing. Espeacially compared to the massive price tag on a slide or pool. The mountain is pretty decent in terms of trails (a bump run would be nice, but whatever) but the park is where they are really lacking, and putting a little money into it would go a long way. So to recap, I don't buy "invisable" upgrades when you can't even see the evidence of them. I call that maintenance not an upgrade. The disturbing thing is the obvious preferance to expand the water park and neglecting the mountain. Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

Nah. My favorite place for parking is montage. You park pretty close to the lodge but they still have a complimentary shuttle. In fact if you ride the lower lift, you can park less than 100 yards from the lift. Yeah, I don't really know anything about MC's parking situation. Maybe I'll go up during the summer and do some biking there, at which time I'll check out the parking situation.

No I wasn't being sarcastic. I really do hear that MC's park is great. I also hear that the rest of the place is a mad house. I don't really hear anything else. So one positive, lots of negatives. Just doesn't seem worth while to make a place like that my home mountain. Espeacially if I had to travel for it.

What parking comment?

The thing that sucks about the new water park is now camelbeach has compitition. With the growing priority that has been placed on camelbeach in the recent years, it seems competition in the water park market would just increase their monitary focus on the summer side of things. So its a little disturbing that this new indoor waterpark will be around. It will no doubt bring more people to the area, which can be good and bad. As far as mountain creek goes, it doesn't really seem close enough to be worth while as your home mountain. I only hear about their park being great and the rest of the place being crowded and certainly not worth while. Do whatever you want, I'm not here to tell you to stay at a mountain your not having fun at, but there are other options. If you are really looking for a better park, I would look at shawnee and boulder. They apparently have a bit more progressive park stuff. You're definetly going to find less new yorkers at those two places than at MC.

What can you do with it? I imagine just riding striaght down the middle doesn't really utilize it, but not really sure what you can do with the sides.

So every one can see your ascii art...

What's a coffin box? With all this stuff I'm bound to get myself hurt when we head over to BB on sun. Oh, well it will be a good time. Will anyone in attendance have a camera?

Congrats to gurp. Anyone else from the site make it to finals?

The loft AT camelback demos, the one on the way to camelback will tell you to visit their on mountain store for demos. Couldn't hurt to call them and ask if they demo anything like that. You can visit their site at http://www.loftsports.com/

Don't tell the kids though right?

Putzo is headed out west for the weekend.

Hah, I only picked 12:30 because I thought it would be more convienient for everyone. I would rather eat early. Since you wanted it at 11 its cool with me.

I'll pretend I'm 21. So yeah I'm in, its cheaper than the student ticket.

Alright, lunch at 11.

Anyone that wants to, I will be eating at 12:30, so for all you people who are too lazy to wake up for the 9:00 am meeting time, the regroup time is 12:30 inside. If I'm motivated I'll make a sign, otherwise just look for stickers. I think in the early afternoon we will head over.

Yep, I should be able to take you, it will be tight but it should work. How long are your ski's?

Yeah, I have deadsy's cd. I think I like rush's version better, but deadsy is cool. Definately a cool song for slow motion shots.

It's not hard to join, there is no need to create a demo.
