sexkitten Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I actually saw BC from my parent's place on Christmas and was surprised to see as much white as I did. Good job as always Mark & the whole BC crew. Don't know what you sacrificed to Ullr this year but whatever it was it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

methym Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Just got back from a morning session. Park was decent for what they have to work with post rain. Jump line was really nice. Not very crowded either. Should be great tomorrow after some fresh manmade snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumilautailija Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 are we gonna see a new park soon like by the end od this week or sooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeer_tomas Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 are we gonna see a new park soon like by the end od this week or sooner  Tomorrow night we're going out to make some changes. The plan right now is to completely redo Black Bear from the yurt down (at least). It's supposed to get down to 17 tomorrow night so hopefully new snow and old gross snow from the rain will get churned up for some decent conditions this weekend.

HouseMuzik Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Nice.. can't wait for some new stuff. Conditions tonight on some of the trails were pretty icy.. a few had some huge ruts (including one in Black Bear Park). ah well, we were spoiled there with January conditions a full month early...

lumilautailija Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) actually im thinking that they should make waffles less than 4 fucking dollars thats probably the most retarded thing i have ever heard. ever Edited January 1, 2010 by lumilautailija 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumilautailija Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 one waffe is four dollars i just think that bear should stop ripping people off for everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justo8484 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 could you also cut down the lips of almost all of the rails and boxes? Every down rail set up right now is awkward and almost a "jump down" onto?  so i'm not the only one who finds all the lips onto any down rail to be weird then. its really strange trying to 2 onto something when you're just dropping down onto the rail.  one waffe is four dollars i just think that bear should stop ripping people off for everything  the prices in the bar are quite reasonable compared to most other ski areas i've been too. blue's bar is more expensive for smaller cups of worse beer.

toast21602 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Â the prices in the bar are quite reasonable compared to most other ski areas i've been too. blue's bar is more expensive for smaller cups of worse beer.

Kyle Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 yeah 4 something for a waffle is a little overpriced. but i thought 3 dollars for an energy drink was good. considering theyre 2 something at wawa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyskeez Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 the waffels are soooo good. i agree though i will never pay 4 dollars for a barely 5inx5 waffel but if bear can get the weekendwarriors to pay that for each of their kids then more power to em... least theyre not in the park.

Tyler Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 so i'm not the only one who finds all the lips onto any down rail to be weird then. its really strange trying to 2 onto something when you're just dropping down onto the rail. Â agreed on the lips being strange. they could definetly use some work. If your going to make them urban then do it right, not a 3 inch ollie up onto a rail which is just awkward. And why would there be two rails that are practically identical and set up the same right next to eachother at the bottom. I'm talking the palmer and the doublewide or whatever you want to call them. Dig out the palmer and give it a legit ollie on. Â Overall though the parks have been fun, jumps are built pretty nice, blackbear is pretty good. Some of the kids on park crew are useless, and cascade needs more features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Down rails are supposed to be urban, not normal jump ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saurus Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 All I have to say is amen. Â And that the begining of a rail, that has a "urban" lip setup, should intersect the lip by a good margin. All the current lips that are "urban" are set about 6 inches past the lip.

BC-Mark Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 The conditions the past two days have been great. We really got lucky with the NYE storm being snow and a bit of sleet rather than sleet and rain. Â This coming week looks really cold and we will be making snow nightly. It is rare we get such a prolonged stretch of teens and low 20's. A forecast like this we will allow the snowmaking team to really bury the mountain. Having more than a single night or two to make snow, we will be trying something a bit different with our snowmaking strategy this week. Â Starting tonight, we will begin snowmaking at 10pm each night and shut the guns down by 6am. From 6am to opening, the groomers will have a chance to smooth out the piles and clean up any mishaps from the night before. Obviously we can only sacrifice the extra 2 to 3 hours of snowmaking each night when we have favorable forecasts and/or a decent base, but if the conditions are markedly better than making snow right up until opening we will make this the new standard. Let me know how you think the strategy works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know how you think the strategy works. im thining that will be much better because the park sucks in the morning with freshly blown snow even if its nice like the rails and stuff the ffresh blown snow is usually just too slow and inconsistant to really get a good run in hitting everything IMO Â Curious what the previous/standard strategy is and the downsides of it relative to this new one? they would blow right untill opening and then the fresh blown snow wouldnt be completely groomed out... i think.
