Kyle Posted February 14, 2013 Report Posted February 14, 2013 I would feel so weird having a buzz going and being surrounded by kids playing on slides. They should have an adults only lazy river where you can take drinks with lids on the tubes. I would post up there all summer. It's not that weird. I drink pounders on the lift all the time with families. The other day at bear the dad asked me if I had another right infront of his two kids. 1 Quote
toast21602 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Posted February 14, 2013 Can you really get drunk at a waterpark? I would feel like that's pretty well frowned upon. of course its frowned upon. you can get drunk sitting on a beach too. basically, you can get drunk anywhere. 3 Quote

The other day at bear the dad asked me if I had another right infront of his two kids. The other weekend I rode up the 6-pack with a triplet of middle-aged women. They broke out some lagers and proceeded to pound them. Then they whipped out a bunch of undergarments and proceeded to increase the decoration of the new bra tree on Lower Sidewinder. Cracked me up!

JFskiDan Posted February 14, 2013 Report Posted February 14, 2013 of course its frowned upon. you can get drunk sitting on a beach too. basically, you can get drunk anywhere. They really frown on drinking at Beltsville lake. i can tell you that first hand. 1 Quote
Schif Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Wow, I guess drinking in public is more pervasive than I thought. I like to fill my pockets with beers and have a good time on the lifts, but I don't usually pull them out if other people are on the lift. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) I've never had issues being drunk or stoned around kids.. Or cursing around them too apparently. Edited February 16, 2013 by Ridge Racer 3 Quote
Riley Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 This water park sounds like a great opportunity for Jim Dailey and crew to get back on TV. They could call it "Life Guard" The sequel to the very popular tru tv show "Ski Patrol". 3 Quote

NMSKI Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 New ski trail to be constructed, huh? Another connector to boost trail count or something legit I wonder. Quote

Justo8484 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 kinda cool that they're trying to go about it in the most environmentally friendly, minimally invasive way possible. I'll give them the nod in that they'll definitely have a unique selling proposition having the water park up top where you can actually see the surrounding mountains (hills...), whereas all the other local parks give you a lovely view of parking lots.

indiggio Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 New ski trail to be constructed, huh? Another connector to boost trail count or something legit I wonder. Going further east. Started cutting it already left side of quad, I believe. Quote
Justo8484 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Going further east. Started cutting it already left side of quad, I believe. there's already mtb trails out there Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Going further east. Started cutting it already left side of quad, I believe. If it is a legit trail, I wonder if it is something that will eventually be incorporated into a larger east side push. Lots of property to that side for expansion right? Hotel? Indoor water park? The possibilities are endless... Quote

Lots of property to that side for expansion right? Hotel? Indoor water park? The possibilities are endless... Let's hope so. Perhaps cut it right so there are a number of good trails off of it, not just waste a ton of land on another cutback beginner's slope like Paradise. I would think they'd build the hotel out where they're putting the water park for easy access to the road. Quote
Johnny Law Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Good to hear they are doing this the right way. They own alot of land so I think expansion was always the idea, I know I've heard the hotel thing for at least 10 years. A steeper switchback would be the way to go in my opinion, get a real trail designer and have something with some vert but with a double fall line and actual turns. A turnier Dreamweaver or a steeper switchback kinda thing....another noob tube could work out though and they certainly need it. 1 Quote
Justo8484 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 i could be wrong here... but i've heard rumors of the new trail being a dedicated terrain park trail, which would turn sidewinder back into a regular skiing trail. sidewinder is a terrible trail for a park and pretty much everyone up there knows it, it's just the hand they're dealt right now. 2 Quote

I didn't even think of that but that's the way to go. Opens up Sidewinder which is a good skiing trail and gets the park people some space as maybe noobs won't be able to see it from the lift. I'm thinking just a big wide straight down the line trail...... Quote
toast21602 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Yup. I could care less. But I say go for it. 1 Quote

I'm thinking just a big wide straight down the line trail...... I think it depends on the existing terrain. If it warrants a park, then so be it. But if they're gonna waste some good steep just to make a park, then no. Regardless, the more terrain the better! 1 Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 I'd love to see the layout... I wonder how far past Paradise it goes? Quote
