Terrain Park Improvements????

[mtnbiker99x]

Any more rumors of improvements to Camelback's terrain parks this year?

 

I hope they put some good stuff in there so I can gets some good photos this winter.

yes rails, hopefully that means better jumps. it rhodos park is as good as two years ago that would be nice.

[DHarrisburg]

According to the remaining Dave, there will be new rails. Don't get your hopes up, though.

[Papasteeze]

Some new rails - a new groomer - and if Steezemachine has his way - a new digger showing them how to build jumps. They are seriously considering moving the park away from the condos - but that won't be till the 06/07 season.

where would they move it to?

Raceway : Next to the nastar course, with a decent lift that would service only the two parallel parks. Then they could have one set of park nazi's, and two "levels" of park.

I agree, good location, that would keep all the park rats and maniac racers in one coralled manageable location!!

That triple is garbage, and it would with the quad usage that side of the mountain would turn to poo if both parks were on that side. Raceway would be the nicest though.

[LineSki]

That was my suggestion two years ago. I didn't go down raceway once the whole year its pointless and the trail is soooooooooo wide it has so much potential.

Actually the trail is really nice as it is. It's out of the way, a perfect cruiser trail, lots of pitch changes, and as you mentioned so wide. Raceway really would make the best park out of any trail on the mountain but to say it is useless just isn't right. If for nothing else you can get untouched groomed corduroy at 8 pm on raceway.

 

Also, there in my eyes there is more to picking park locations than simply the terrain of the hill. As I mentioned before two parks on the east side of the mountain would reek havoc on it. The trail system sucks to begin with because everything is funneled through Ceasar. As I mentioned before the tripple is garbage. The laurel park lift works out because no one wants to hike across birches, and tut doesn't give you the full run. Also the park is super short so the wait isn't bad. On the other hand, it's faster to use the quad to take laps on rhodo than the raceway tripple. Also, the laurel lift is dual purpose, if it is running than beginners need not take the quad. Taking laps on the raceway tripple/rhodo is mind numbing. Laps through the park from the Stevenson aren't too bad if there crowds aren't there, but if both parks make their way to the east side of the mountian things will get VERY UGLY. On the plus side... the west side of the mountain will be nice and clear. It may mean on ski club nights the mountain is more tolerable, because there is a place to get away from them.

yea but the front four of cb will be cleared from all the park knuckle heads

Well said.

[LineSki]

So just because I like skiing a lot of park means im not really welcome on the diamonds?

[Glenn]

I think he was referring to the high moron to park skier/rider ratio moreso than any specific people who ride the park. I ride the park almost every time I'm at the mountain. I have lots of friends that ride the park, but there are LOTS of knuckle heads (IMO) in the park.

[Timeless]

That triple is garbage,

It may be slow, but it's almost always got the shortest queues.

 

Raceway is far from pointless, it's great place to get some big fast sweeping turns in, even better when the race course isn't set up.

[jdew]

If they move both parks to the east side, it may be even longer before you can use them since the east side is always the last area to get the snowmaking.

[LineSki]

good point. rhodo doesnt open till like january sometimes

[Glenn]

Yeah, I hadn't considered opening, and Camelback made it a priority this past season to get opened up. Quality or no, they had their park setup pretty early in the season.

If their lack of interest in accepting your hand drawn diagram is anything like your spelling, no wonder the park won't change.

 

second thought... if 12 year boys are offering advice about how CB can improve - C'mon CB, wise up! 12 yr olds eager to help...?

 

 

This isn't Katrina.. you have alot more notice of the storm approaching!! you have resources on site and you have tons of volunteers waiting to assist ....
