njskierbrig Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 I am a new park rider and was wondering what bear was going to do in the Family park. Is it going to be like last year or they changing it a little bit? Quote
mollyskeez Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 well its moved to the trail next to the bunny hill, but you cant access it from the carpet. i know they have one new feature for it; a double wide short low rail Quote
njskierbrig Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 yea i realized that it moved cause i look at it from trail map and i rode it last year but that sounds good Quote

That little run always was, I used to ride it when I was first learning as it would often be less crowded than the other bunny hill. There's really no way to get to it other than the carpet. Didn't it used to be called "Teddy Bear" or something like that? My geriatric ass would like to start venturing into the park this year, and that looks like a good place to start. Quote

joeybadlands Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 they cut thru the trees up at the top of the triple so thats how u get there now. So the family park now runs under the the triple chair lift? Quote
snowboarddude Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 So the family park now runs under the the triple chair lift? its the same trail you just get to it by the triple now Quote
BC-Mark Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 We did move the Family Park to Teddy Bear. It is under the Triple Chair and it can be accessed from the Triple Chair by coming off Drifter. We decided to move it to cut down on high speed traffic coming off of Extreme and Grizzly and create a safer, more sheltered learning environment. It will have 3 or 4 features geared toward learning specific park skills. We will also be offering an introductory lesson for the Family Park on Saturdays from 1pm to 2:30pm. You can sign up at the Snowsports School Desk and the cost is $30 per person. Quote

njskierbrig Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 yea last year i did the coaching on tuesday a night it was really good. It was suppose to be a group lesson but i was the only skier so i had a private leasson for the cost of a group Quote
Phil Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Here is a link to the Freestyle Coaching page. There is info on both the Tuesday night (intermediate) program and the Saturday (beginner) program. Quote
Snowbride08 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 girlfriend, i've got five years on you. you've got it. there was something on BC's site about coaching sessions on tuesday nights too, but i can't find it now. Lol. That makes me feel better. Bear Creek is the only place around that makes me feel old. It's nice to see other riders on here who are old enough to not be my school students. Quote
Un1nC_ShR3D Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 How old are you snowbride? Quote
Snowbunny4 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Posted November 28, 2008 I will be 26 next month. Snowbride08, Geriatric at 26?!! I am 46 (soon to be 47) and boarding with my husband and two daughters. BC is our home mountain until spring, then we are heading to Utah (for the first time!!) See you on the slopes! Quote
Snowbride08 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 Utah? That sounds pretty cool! I never have a hard time finding other adult skiers, but I have a hard time finding others boarders my age! All of my closest friends are skiers, and while it's fun to go to the mountain with them I'd like to be with other boarders sometimes. I dunno why...it's just different. They just don't get it when I have to stop and strap in after the lift, or why I don't like the trails that have long, flat sections. Broadway at BC is the worst trail for me, it's so flat! All they have to do is use their poles to push them along until they get to the next incline. It's not that easy for me! Quote
