JDSCHMOO22 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 I have been a Bear Creek boarding junkie for the last 5 years, and they have really improved everything about the place in that time. But after riding Blue for the most I ever have in a season, and with their improvements to their park, add to that the 6 pack and the new lodge, I'll have to get a season pass to Blue for next season. I'll still hit up BC a couple of times a season, but you can't beat the vert and trail variety at Blue, even though I usually stay in the park. Their park had plenty of variety and you still ride down to the quad and hit the lower park on the way. The lines also mover quicker at Blue, and the 6 pack will move more people. Overall the experience is much more satisfying, despite it taking me twice as long to get there. I had a blast at Blue this season and can't wait till they open for next season! Quote
toast21602 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Blue Mountain the True Mountain! I thought management did a great job this yeah when compared with yours in the past. they were open about 2 weeks longer than most mountains around here, the park was amazing, and improvements next year are a step in the right direction. good work Blue, keep up the good work.

Rob Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 yea i went to bear, and i must sa, their jumps do throw you better than blues, sorry bear but blue tops your rails, lift lines and overall prices good choice man Quote
Stevo Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 yea i went to bear, and i must sa, their jumps do throw you better than blues, sorry bear but blue tops your rails, lift lines and overall prices good choice man Although i wasn't very impressed with bear's park either- you can't honestly judge a mt by their end-of-season conditions.

tretiak Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 i wasnt impressed at all when i went in feburary. i was like woah its nothing but table tops. i was happy i didnt get a pass to bear this year Quote
toast21602 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 both mountain's parks are going to be sick next year though. i'm anxious to head to bear a few times to actually ski and maybe compete. Quote
Rob Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 both mountain's parks are going to be sick next year though. i'm anxious to head to bear a few times to actually ski and maybe compete. next years boardercrosses are gonna be sick, too bad like im gonna be in the 15-118 group and get whooped by like idk some good riders Quote
method9455 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 yea i'm so glad that blue is close enough to ride at, I'm definately getting a season pass next year Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 The Blue mountain off season is about 250 days...tomorrow will be 5 days with Booter mountain being closed so we're almost 2 percent of the way there.... YAY FOR 2% there for next years opening date . I can't wait till the leaves start falling, then I know winter will be here. Quote
skifreak Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 I can't wait till the leaves start falling, then I know winter will be here. Whoa calm down, the leaves haven't even blossomed yet Quote
toast21602 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 Even tho I am gonna be a BC passholder again and like their park the best, on Sunday Blue's park was SO FUN! They had two flat rails that hadn't been there all year that were sweet (I noticed BC put up more flat rails later on in the year, maybe both resorts are seeing that that is what people like). Blue's park was so much improved this year from past years. The gap on rails like the up-flat, flat-down-flat, and flat next to the stairs were mad dope. I will def be hitting Blue alot next year. On Sunday I wish there could have been another jump, but its ok, I had tons of fun. glad you liked Blue's park. alot of people are saying that they stepped it up bigtime this year, and that they plan on making more visits for the park next year.

Rodeo Steve Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 next years boardercrosses are gonna be sick, too bad like im gonna be in the 15-118 group and get whooped by like idk some good riders Taken on people like me :-D lol I thought the exact opposite of you.. I love Blue's jumps, and I loved Bears rails.. More selection. But overall I love Blue a lot more but most of the novice kids will like Bear more cause of the smaller jumps to learn on. Sidewinder is just sick with all the step downs. lol I threw a 7 tail over the 70.. It made me wanna pee. Quote
sexkitten Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 Not to get too off subject, but since you guys are talking about BC does anyone do the picnic table? Bob and I saw it closing weekend and were wondering. Quote
Schif Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 They had a picnic table at tussey this year. It looked pretty cool and I did it once, but that was enough. It was an actual picnic table from the outside of the lodge, just wood, not even smooth wood. Good luck to anyone trying to boardslide it. I almost caught an edge going at it straight. Quote
JDSCHMOO22 Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Posted March 31, 2006 The picnic table at BC is one of the easiest features to hit if you're just learning park. Also good practice board sliding. Quote
Dominant05 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 Last year bear had a yellow plastic picnic table, but the problem was it would constantly get covered in 3' of ice or slush or snow (when i was there), i didn't see the wooden one this year though... I still like Bear more, Blue's terrain is way to fast for my liking, I want to be able to hit as many features as i can, bear i can do that so easily compared to blue. in my opinion Quote
