toast21602 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 what it is like? i just got done with soccer pratice so i might have to head up to check it out. Quote
Justo8484 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 oh boy that thing is interesting. i'll hit it once its actually set up correctly. Quote
toast21602 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 just got back from Blue. they blew snow in the park but nothing is very different. you can see that they are going to be putting in some new rails in some spots though. and lets just say that the booters are bigger than they have ever been. the first booter after the c-box was moved back was 10 of my ski lengths (174) making it about 58 feet. the double set of booters after the rainbow is also bigger. the left side is 8 1/2 ski lengths making the jump 50 feet. the huge booter though, will make you shit your pants. its a couple inches less than 13 ski lengths... making it about 75 feet. this should make for a pretty sick slopestyle comp. unfortunately i wont be there. but all of you better be filming it!

Shadows Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) yea, Montages rainbow to kicker is terrible. Yea, isnt Blue's passes like at least $100 more than most mountains? blues pas is 448 with a 10% discount. which makes it 404 (right?) Cb's pass is 389 with the dicsount Bc's is 335 (youth early bird) blue is closer (to me at least), which will save money on gas, so it evens out in the end. and if you go enough times, blue comes out to be cheaper.

toast21602 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 plus, Blue is bigger than either of those places. its worth getting a pass to Blue. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Even if you're not a returning season pass holder, you can get the early bird special, and for a student, this year it was $322 for an everyday pass Quote

Toast, how was the snow. I'm heading up today, and i just wanted to know what i should expect. Icy, Slushy, or (cross my fingers) powdery? Quote
toast21602 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 powder. ha. it was great snow while it was still snowing/sleeting. but then it started to turn to freezing rain and started freezing up the trails. i still thought it was good. much better than an icy night at Blue. and the park was good. make sure you clean off the rails before you hit them though... i got caught up on some ice once or twice. because i wasnt going fast enough.

tretiak Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 where do you see 332? 448 is the full time student. early bird special is 10% off. or just work there and get a free season pass until u either get fired or quit. i mean the pay isnt great but you get a free season pass free rentals,lessons(freestyle) and 50% off of food Quote
Guest jeenyus2690 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 blues kickers r nice but there so big that nobody hits them and plus the landings arent big at all and icey compared to how big the jump is. answer this, why would you put a 75 ft jump right after a turn? hah idk but blue does that they still need major help in their park, it has no flow at all like bear does Quote

If you buy the Blue pass before mid June, it is like $380. blues kickers r nice but there so big that nobody hits them and plus the landings arent big at all and icey compared to how big the jump is. answer this, why would you put a 75 ft jump right after a turn? hah idk but blue does that they still need major help in their park, it has no flow at all like bear does they are actually hit more often than you think, with spins too...

Shadows Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 I like the urban flow of the park at Blue...it feels like I'm in Trenton NJ....sa wizzle... me and my friends were skating philly one time. we were driving to the next spot when we stopped at a gas staion. we go in, do our thing, and come out. when we came out, there was this little black kid taking a shit in the mulch/plant island haha. we got a pic of him, not sure if i should post it though. (the relation - we were on our way to trenton) Quote
Shadows Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 ill dig it up, then host it, might not be till tomorrow though. Quote
Shadows Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 yea, so i found the pic. but im gonna talk to atomic or someone first to see if i shall post it. Quote
Stripes Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 Even if you're not a returning season pass holder, you can get the early bird special, and for a student, this year it was $322 for an everyday pass Are you saying there is a discount for returning season pass holders (better than the early bird special)?
