Bear Creek's Conditions/Setup

[mollyskeez]

they should blow as much snow as possible on tubing and cascade and just keep the opwn with tons of rails because they prob. already have alot of snow in there from the tubing jumps. then just keep only the double open.

[Rowsdower]

Its a matter of knowing where to put your remaining snow. Bear could do something if there was really a drive to do it.

 

Yeah cascade and tubing park would work too. Tubing because of the huge amounts of snow in the jumps and Cascade is shaded by the trees.

 

I think Bear could definitely do this: build up Cascade/tubing parks, then after the mountain officially closes run the double lift fridays-sundays or something allowing the snow to set up and last longer and then you only have to run one lift for three days. I think it would work and we'd get a week or two more out of it.

just what i was thinking. or they sould just do the actual tubing side of tubing and push all the snow over there since that is semi shaded and just open the magic carpet thing. or just have like 6 rails that are all hikable.

there's a lot that could happen, but at the risk of being a total debbie downer i'm really anticipating an early close. i hope it doesn't happen, but i'm afraid it might.

from bear's site:

 

2/19/2008 6:30AM: Our groomers pushed a lot of piles last night to get the slopes in perfect shape for your visit today! Come out and show your appreciation for their hard work!

 

i'm curious as to where these piles came from. but it also looks good for blowing tonight, YEAH.

From the double secret back bowls.........Bear will close when they stop making money and/or the weather gets shitty. This week looks good and they should blow all week but if its warm next week all that snow will melt and people will stop showing up. PA is a crap shoot so we will see.

Almost all of black bear is/was a pile of snow.

[stbgskibum247]

There is A LOT of snow buried in strategic spots.

Yeah they have more snow in that last jump in black bear then they have base for the entire mountain...people gotsta chill, the cold weathers coming back, we still got at LEAST another month shreddin the CRIK

[snowboarddude]

then it is up to boulder for a little longer

 

 

mayday should be sick maybe this year it will have a lift

[Rowsdower]

Bear Creek should have June Day... like the Tyrol Basin summer jam. Throw a tarp and some tires over that shit and have a rail jam in the summer.

[snowboarddude]

one warm day and a little rain hurt bear pretty bad

 

 

does anyone know about the pipe??

[burton71]

[ket19]

I like how bear made the red rail at the bottom of the mountain urban. It was setup real nice tonight. Keep it how it was tonight. And rumer has it one of the parks might be closed tomarrow for rebuilding.

[skeer_tomas]

BCIW DID WORK! Cascade is probably about 40-50% done with what it will be even with 2 groomers, 2 diggers, and my self in the skid loader. Black bear should be open tomorrow with whats left of it. The smurf, rainbow, and step down are out though. They wouldnt have been rideable anyway with the amount of snow they put down last night. Black bear is a whole other story for tomorrow night heh heh heh. This weekend should be REAL nice. So now I say good night @ 6:36 in the morning.

Parks yesterday were sick. Jumps were great. The hip in cascade was fun as hell until the landing got really icy. The DFD and up to flat were sick. And the double c was a fun little butter pad.
