snorovr Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 Nice. Did that guy from up north finally roll in today? Sidewinder for Friday or Saturday? Quote
Justo8484 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 so are we gonna have sidewinder by friday? Quote
tretiak Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) they should be able to open sidewinder by friday. they can blow on it all day today and into most of tomorrow. Edited December 13, 2005 by forumdestroyer154 Quote

Welcome back Kmar - Thanks for the update! Quote
stevePSSC Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 sick.. ill be there sometime soon i hope to check all this out Quote
Justin aka NJ_wakeNsnow Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 hopefully they have sidewinder open this weekend...i'll be there on sunday...and i'm looking forward to this new park ish!! Quote
toast21602 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 anybody know if the park will be open by friday? it would be great if it would be since i'm done with finals on thursday... and if the rumors about the "45 foot box" and "stairs" are true, things could get out of hand... Quote
Stevo Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 Talking to a ski instructor last sunday, he said something about a new pipe, maybe close to a super pipe, maybe on the top of sidewinder. Has anyone heard of this? I know forumdestroyer154 posted something about this on SB.com (Sb.com totally blows now). Quote
snorovr Posted December 13, 2005 Report Posted December 13, 2005 It is something that they are talking about for the 2006/2007 season. From what I last heard they haven't decided where to put it yet. There were rumors last year that it would be between the Falls part of Razors and Paradise, I heard the "on top of Sidewinder" one too, but no one really knows yet. I think I posted before that they wanna use the new Zaugg to make a quarter pipe on riders right on the back wall of the halfpipe in the lower park. Probably put a soap box or something up there. They used to have the mailbox setup on the deck of the pipe, and hopefully we'll get to do something like that again this year. Quote

toast21602 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 before Blue builds a "super pipe"... they should probably learn to build and maintain the pipe that they have now instead of cutting it twice a year like they ahve since it was built. although with the new park crew and park manager (or whatever he is called) it looks like eveything is going to be much better. there are rediculous amounts of snow in the pipe now and they just keep blowing. the pipe and park this year at Blue is looking pretty promising.....

toast21602 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 i think the reason y the pipe was never groomed was because the cutter was to big possibly... whatever though.. things are looking good for this season Quote
kmar2006 Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Posted December 14, 2005 superpipe? i think ur on crack.. neway.... we just got the zawg its not ready yet thats y pipe wasnt done.. the dragon we used to have wasn't made to cut a pipe just maintain one thats y it suxed.... sidewinder looks damn good.. good snow on it.. need some more on new section though... so i dunno when maybe weekend hopefully.... and who ever said the pipe was widened.. not true its same.... but zawg will help it alot Quote
toast21602 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) nice, i'm looking forward to skiing a pipe that isnt made of walls of ice with random chunks taken out of it... and i'd have to say that the pipe dragon really didnt have much to do with the quality of the pipe since all they did was blow a ton of snow in it at the beginning of the year and only cut it twice... what is going on with sidewinder though??

tretiak Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 and who ever said the pipe was widened.. not true its same the pipe is deff bigger. you can tell. and i almost fell in it by accident on sunday. Quote
toast21602 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 the pipe is deff bigger. you can tell. and i almost fell in it by accident on sunday. i agree... even though it doesnt look like it, when i as up there early this fall, the right ride of it was all dug up and reseeded so some grass could grow... something was obviously done to it... i'm not sure what though Quote
snorovr Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 Kmar, on Blues site over the summer under the improvements headline they had: 1) installed magic carpet in valley west 2)widened sidewinder 3)widened the pipe 4)other things that I don't remember after we saw what they had written we drove up there and saw the changes to sidewinder and then drove down to the pipe and saw the whole right wall torn up and re-seeded. I don't have any before and after pics, but it was pretty obvious that something had been done. superpipe is probably rumors at this stage but thats how everything starts. the staircase was just a rumor less than a month ago and today they are workin' on it in the garage. I was told its a 12 set with a handrail in the middle and a ledge or box on either side. Quote

What i meant was- bigger than the one they currently have. Also, i'm convinced that they widened their pipe. Check these pics out. They look pretty convincing for me, but then again, i don't work there. Also, i was at blue yesterday, and there is a shit-load of snow up on sidewinder- it's amazing. having trouble. gimme a minute pic 1 pic 2 Edited December 14, 2005 by stevo182 Quote
toast21602 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 that seems pretty clear to me.... Quote
kmar2006 Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Posted December 15, 2005 that seems pretty clear to me.... ok.. the side was worked on yes but it wasnt widened to much.. belive me.. the side was removed for new air and water hydrants for the new b6's Quote
