Bear Creek Park Report Thread

[supertrooper12]

to tell you the truth the only thing i enjoyed all day today was the 3rd jump in the jump line. just one of those days where nothing could satisfy me.

Oakley21, those are some sick pictures, you should have Bear use them on the interactive terrain park page...

today was pretty ill. conditions were perfect without a doubt. not crowded at all, around 6 i just rode right into the dub lift without even waitin'. jumps were pretty awful to be honest, but besides that; good day of ridin'.

[method9455]

that looks so nice. I can't get a perspective on that 3rd jump but it doesn't look all that big to me but still perfectly shaped. Looks like a 30 footer not a 50 but I wish I was healthy enough to hit it right now.

according to bobert on here who measured it, its 31 feet. seems about right. its such a nice jump, perfect size.

[GNU_rider]

Everything was perfect until night fall when it got icy, even though it was the small stair was amazing and the other jibs were great but the big stair forget about it way to icy by night to ride safely. I also love the jump line the hits were perfect all day!

[stbgskibum247]

The big stairset is turning into the family fun for everyone feature with kids clambering up the hits, walking across the top and bumping down the steps. The inrun is always packed with idiots who dont get out of your way EVER. I came off the middle rail switch and ran right into a little snowboarder that was just standing there. I dont know what could be done to fix this problem, but hopefully there is some solution.

i feel like that 3rd jump is the tubing line has become smaller... i almost concussed myself today

[Mixilplix]

They put the big stair set in a piss poor spot.It's a cool feature but it does not belong there.

BRING BACK THE BARREL BONK!!!!!!!!

[stbgskibum247]

Bring back MULTIPLE barrel bonks!!!

[supertrooper12]

powder toniht i will be up from 12:30 to 10 this will be amazing!

[Tyler]

just got back from a 3.5 hour session, nice and powdery. park was the same, snow was fluffy but fairly slow.

[petter369]

they are cutting the half-pipe now!!!

[Tyler]

yeah they've been since around 2:30, i forgot that part

[K2skier26]

I poached the half pipe tonight. Really nice walls with no ice, can't wait till they officially open it.

[mollyskeez]

i think they were grooming it for the halfpipe comp on thursday

[Tyler]

today was fun, the pipe was pretty good before the competition. everything else in the park was the same. snow was very fast, not very icy, just cold and windy.

[snorovr]

the pipe was pretty good

 

 

Have you EVER ridden anywhere else besides Bear Creek!?!?!?!?!!!!!

[Tyler]

if you rode Bear's pipe last year, you would think tonight was pretty good

 

put it this way, at least their weren't ice chunks bulging out of the walls tonight

[toast21602]

i heard the pipe was a piece of shit. if you want to ski a good one, go to Blue.

I would like to see the park crew reshape the small park cause its getting boring, plus the seasons almost over and the park is pretty bland, i want barrels and bonks, anything creative, thats all. Are they ever gonna use the rails layin on the side of the park, like the wide c box, that thing was so fun. I just wanna see one more drastic reshaping of the park before the season ends, which is very soon unfortunately.

agreed... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we see some creative stuff. You guys had the barrel bonk out for like one day and then it broke, the guy said it was gonna be back by like last tuesday, but it just sits at the top of the tubing run (Ithink thats the same barrel, if not im sorry) but lets see some cool creative stuff please. When is the car gonna be coming out to?? and why dont you guys throw some of those little rails sitting up ont he old cascade trail in???? Ide like to see the battleship rail, or some of that other little fun stuff....and hows about the superman box??? that thing was always fun, doesnt take alot to set it up either. But most of all ide like to see the barrel bonk come back, and maybe some log jibs to, that would be sooo awesome.....

[Tyler]

agreed, i wouldnt mind seeing a change up of the parks. I mean dont get me wrong their a lot of fun but just getting a little blahh.

 

Anyway as for tonight i was on the snow by 6:45. Lines weren't bad at all and just got shorter as the night went on. I expected the park to be icy b/c of the above freezing temps today, but it wasnt bad at all. The only real icy spot was the run in on cascade where a lot of people just plow down. Anyway park crew was out a few times fixing the rails, which held up pretty good despite all the noObs, but why doesn't park crew ever fix the jumps. The lips get really rutted out from getting rode over....especially in blackbear. I'm not complaining just making a suggestion. Overall it was a fun night with good conditions and surprisingly small crowds.

I like bears park this year, but is it me or does it seem like bear changed there park up way more through out the season last year than they did this year.
