Ski Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Posted July 10, 2006 Here's just how ignorant people are about the actual state of affairs at Montage. This is part of a letter to the editor in today's Times-Tribune, written by a former county executive: "Beginning the next year, $1.4 million per year in mortgage cost would be gone and Montage could be a steady source of revenue for Lackawanna County, especially as snow tubing, snow boarding and free-style skiing parks have re-energized ski areas. Those are facts. BILL RISSE FORMER LACKAWANNA COUNTY DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, CLARKS GREEN" ------------------------- Well, Bill, you haven't been to Montage recently have you? If so, you'd see 60 cars in the lot on a Saturday afternoon. Maybe 20 cars on a weeknight. Glad to know that you are an expert on how tubing, boarding, and "free-style" have re-energized ski areas...how many of those 20 cars on a Tuesday are from those "free-stylers"? Maybe you should have done some of the same homework that Sno Mountain did before they opened their mouths.
Sno Mountain Skier Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 I wish he were right and the free style parks, were a major hit at montage. But that didnt happen. Shit was so beat this year. But guess what guys, some time today we will get the final answer on Sno Mountain.
Schif Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 Did anyone hear anything yet? I'm getting really anxious.
DHarrisburg Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 how many of those 20 cars on a Tuesday are from those "free-stylers"? Does Montage even have a park?
Ski Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 I've been checking the news releases at the Times-Tribune website every hour and there's no news, yet...
DHarrisburg Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 yea couple of jumps rails and boxes no pipe Is it decent?
Schif Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 I've been checking the news releases at the Times-Tribune website every hour and there's no news, yet... I saw a quick commercial for WYOU. Look for news at 11!
Ski Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 I saw a quick commercial for WYOU. Look for news at 11! Thanks, Schif...nothing on the WYOU website. Man, tv news station websites in this area are lame.
Ski Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 Uh oh...the teaser I just saw on WYOU said, "And today was 'supposed' to be the day Lackawanna County commissioners decided on the sale of Montage." Supposed to be? That's not good.

Ski Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 Ha, they could call it Shawnee as long as they put in that lift and add a couple hundred new guns! when this is decided can someone call me? i'm gonna be away for a week starting in about a hour or so..... 610 416 0640 Somebody's supposed to call bible camp and let Mark know... It would be the first time I ever called a bible camp...
Sno Mountain Skier Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 nope Were you ever there before this year, because if so then the park this year was really good. It was decent with jumps in my opinion, but rails lacked. Somebody's supposed to call bible camp and let Mark know... It would be the first time I ever called a bible camp... i just left a message.
Sno Mountain Skier Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 i thought the jumps last year were way better than the jumps this year, i thought the rails this year were a little better than the rails last year Well then i dont no what you put in your smokes, because the jumps this year were all bigger and better, but the rails did get better, but compared to other places, the rails are tiny.
xNick11 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 I had fun in the park at Montage with Ski, Atomic Jeff, MontageSkier, and Wolverine...there were lots of jumps and a butter box at the end. Not the big mo-fo booterz like at Booter mountain but also alot emptier.. I missed out that day..i came late and couldnt see u in the park lol..but if i remember when i got there and was riding the park it was really windy and sucked so then i just watched u guys race lol. Maybe the park was bad when i went cause the there were 4 jumps when i went, two small terrible ones right next to each other, another terrible jump, and a bigger jump with a very steep take off. You just cant handle Montage
Schif Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 This sale is huge. I'm so pumped right now. Next year everything including park can only get bigger and better. I"m still gonna call it Montage too xNick
Ski Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 What they had been promising as 180 new guns is now "at least 200 new guns." I can hardly imagine Montage with snowmaking...tower guns lining the slopes and they just have to flip a switch instead of dragging the cannons around. They'll either start work on the top to bottom high speed right away, or have the Long Haul overhauled and running at top speed. Fast Track and Runaway open top to bottom. That's epic. Maybe they'll hire AJ Kitt away from Bear Creek.
Sno Mountain Skier Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 I knew this deal was gonna go through since i watched the meeting on the TV. But also, i went out to purchase a new cell today and was worried i would miss the anoucement, then i got home and was like fuck, and then got my doubts up, and then it was like all or our prayers were answered.
Ski Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Posted July 11, 2006 That bitch Washo was still crying on the news... Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
