Blue Park Updates?

[xNick11]

Any updates in the park this year for Blue?

sadly, they still have the bus.

But the bus makes that little step up thing onto the last landing really fun. If the park is anything like the bike park, it

[AngryHugo]

RIP Crackerbarrel...I'm hoping for some tabletops/cheesewedges...

 

freakin' starvin'.... we got any cheese and crackers around?

I was checking out Blue's park on Tuesday...the Frisbee golf poles are going to be great to boink off of.

I can see where this thread is going

[FK.]

No really tho if we could get some legit updates. I'm itching to hear about any new setups bc it was getting sick last year and i'm hoping it gets better...

Doesn`t anyone remember the air bag thread?!?

[skier89]

i think the air bag was bs

if they had one they would have used it this summer

[jhartley]

At the end of last year they announced that they got a winch cat, or groomer or whatever its called. Now I know next to nothing about grooming, but does that mean they'll be able to make jumps with long steep landings like you'd find at major resorts/big boulder?

You posting in a park thread is about as useful as an asshole on your elbow.

Agreed.

Unless you ride park, you really have no business posting in a park thread.

It's makes you look like an ass and it's annoying.

[TT C6]

you mean it makes you look like a TTC6...

That's funny.

We're talking about a$$holes that don't ride park but post in park threads and here come Doug.

What a shock.

in theory, yes. however, that's also entirely dependent on how much snow they can blow. to really make use of a winch cat, they're have to blow a ton more snow than they had last year, otherwise you'd just end up with short, steep landings. i could be wrong here, but i think a big push for the snow cat was to be able to properly groom the steeper sections of challene/razors so they can go slower and make the trail smoother.

Yes.

 

I would think using a winch cat would be tough for jumps because how would they anchor it? I'd think the winch cable would slice right through the jumps

[Justo8484]

you attach the winch to a regular cat sitting on the landing of the jump. by being able to do that, you're also ensured that the landing is nice and wide, since you've gotta be able to fit a cat on either side of the lip to get it to the deck.

[TT C6]

like you're fucking contributing anything to this thread and I ride the park....I especially like tabletops and steps..

No. No, you don't ride park.

 

I've seen you ski. Many people here have seen you ski.

Let's just leave it at that.

[TT C6]

And you were impressed cause I'm a good skier.

Keep telling yourself that Doug.

 

[toast21602]

how about you children both stop ruining a thread with your petty bickering, again. thanks.

[jhartley]

Damn dudes, I don't know either of you but it's a ski message board, it just ain't that serious.

So if any of you have access to people who manage Blue's park, it'd be cool to know if they intend to put the new equipment to use or if it was bought solely for the steeper sections with no thought for the park's improvement.

Exactly, though you don't always need a winch cat depending on how you do it.

[AtomicSkier]

Didn't know you could attach it to another groomer. Always thought they used a fixed anchor.

[mollyskeez]

does anyone know if any reps from blue go on here?

I guess thats what I`d be considered? And airbag= not bullshit. Its just taking a while because appearantly theres alot of insurance crap to deal with when you bring them around, who ever would have guessed. And Doug and Rob, you are both acting like idiots. I know you both are decent, nice, MATURE guys so stop having cat fights over the stupidest stuff ever.
