Shadows Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) the kid is about 6 feet, so this is rather small i guess in this picture there is a flat down, 3 flat boxes, and that wall thingy. all in all, there are 4 flat boxes all different widths. you can see how small that one is where they are standing, its like 5 feet long they painted the guide wheels on the raceway lift red. new color scheme? new snowgun, and some post thingy behind the wall ride? whatever built a deck for the park pass office. to the left of the entrance at rhodo. the 'superpipe' doesnt look like it at all. around the same length as laurel pipe. walls dont seem that big at all. maybe its just cause theres no snow on it. and some of the best news this post has to offer... they are fixing the whole in the wall. it broke through the topsheet and the plywood, so i dont know if whoever did that is still alive. also... they dig down infront of the wall like some suggested, so the transition should be much, much smoother. oh, and. they also have blue topsheets instead of white laying around. so look for some mixed up colors around the park Edited October 29, 2006 by Shadows Quote
Schif Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 they are fixing the whole in the wall. it broke through the topsheet and the plywood, so i dont know if whoever did that is still alive. I think I was there the day it broke. It really confused me as to how anyone could go through a wallride. It kinda looked like someone went at it with a sledgehammer. Quote
DHarrisburg Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 Looks like CB is looking to make a bunch more two foot jibs. Quote
Shadows Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Posted October 29, 2006 is that post thing an anchor for the winchcat? Quote
skidude Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 is that post thing an anchor for the winchcat? It looks like it could be (if they put a metal tube around it)...but it doesn't make sence to have the post down there... Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 Those boxes look so weak. Quote
pyro_boarder Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 I'm hoping most of that stuff there is for the beginner park as it's all very small. Quote
Gurp Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 I think we can safely say we know 1 mountain who is not gonna be in the running for best park in the area .... or am i? Quote
NiftySHIFTY Posted October 29, 2006 Report Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) Haha, dude, that's a hydrant, not a snowgun in the 5th pic. Probably for water...could be air though? Not sure about that post thing though. Edited October 29, 2006 by NiftySHIFTY Quote
Shadows Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Posted October 29, 2006 ^yea, cause the park is gonna be ON FIRE this year! Quote

I really hope your wrong, but I'm starting to get nervous. I won't count them out until after the start of the season though. Quote
Papasteeze Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 I'm hoping most of that stuff there is for the beginner park as it's all very small. it's perfect for the beginner park. let's hope - we got a personal tour of the pipe, it is about the same size as the one previously, it's a shame because I believe the could have easily extended it.

Shadows Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Posted October 30, 2006 it's a shame because I believe the could have easily extended it. personal tour? they couldve gone like another 200 feet. Quote
Papasteeze Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 personal tour? yeah - the security guy, forget his name at this insistence of Joe gave nips and I a 4-wheel drive tour. Quote
Shadows Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Posted October 30, 2006 funny thing:CB's best customer service is their security guy haha, wtf so true and we asked the ladies in the pass office if we can get our park pass today. and she said "we're not selling them yet" Quote
Shadows Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Posted October 30, 2006 companies will only give you a serious answer if you seem interested in there product Quote
Papasteeze Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 that was preety nice of him. funny thing:CB's best customer service is their security guy Haha,, yeah really nice guy and really proud of CB, we talked about the old days before there were snow guns on every slope. I got the impression he has never been anywhere else in the last decade though. and we asked the ladies in the pass office if we can get our park pass today. and she said "we're not selling them yet" selling them............... oh gawd............. Man, I am rooting for them so much and little things like this hurt. Quote
Shadows Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Posted October 30, 2006 Man, I am rooting for them so much and little things like this hurt. its like a fat kid tryin to loose weight but hiding food under his matress Quote
skidude Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 reminds me of the south park where cartman goes to fat camp papa got one from the security guard is that true? If you want, you can shoot me a PM with the answer... Quote
Papasteeze Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Who gave you your tour? why? were you told that you weren't allowed or something? Or do you need a witness? want the phone number of my kid who was also on that tour. get off my ass. Quote
skidude Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 why? were you told that you weren't allowed or something? Or do you need a witness? want the phone number of my kid who was also on that tour. get off my ass. Actully I was curious as to who gave you a tour. I never really thought about trying to go around and see all the improvments they made in the off season... I have a guess of who it was from your description, but I wouldn't want to hassle you anymore tonight Quote

I never really thought about trying to go around and see all the improvments they made in the off season... I have a guess of who it was from your description, but I wouldn't want to hassle you anymore tonight I have to get all the info I can, there is a large investment sitting opposite the trails. I already been once burned for not doing enough homework. THe progression of that mountain is very important, more so on a personal basis. Nipples is skiing for Big Boulder this season. At the same time, I am advising everyone at CB to as much as they will listen to. The problem in a nutshell is there is too much old school still firmly entrenched and the newschool is too afraid to step up to the plate. As long as they have the ticket sales they aren't going to try and truly excel at anything. Each of our mountains has niche markets they target. CB's ticket seems to be the weekend once or twice a season. Burton learn to program, park pass to protect the noobs, grass roots regimented freestyle program that will give parents a warm and fuzzy feeling. etc etc its cool, I just wish you would ask me directly. Thats why I was late to the ski meeting. Quote
