The lower moore park was open, but rhodo wasn't. I have no clue if laurel was or not. It was my first time through lower moore. The snail box shouldn't even be on the snow. The jumps is actually decent, but it's nearly impossible to get enough speed if there are people waiting and you don't want to cut them off. A couple of guys knocked the fence over just enough so they could ollie it and carry speed in from much higher. The hip is too small, but not the end of the world. Didn't hit the battleship, but it looked resonable, all things considered. The flat down was there. It had a small gap. If you hit it with any speed you would land on the down.

 

The park was the nicest/best park I've ridden that CB has produced and only 2 features were really worth hitting. If CB put those features as well as some baby features in their beginner park, then it wouldn't be such a waste of space.

 

Rhodo looked MUCH better, but it wasn't open. The gaps were still pretty big, but nothing looked outrageous or overly dangerous. I still probably won't hit the FDF but everything else looks like fun.

 

The jump next to jibzilla looks like it's shaped the best, but presumabely because of CB liabilities the knuckle is rather ambiguous. At a glance it looks like a step up, but I'm pretty sure it will ride like a step down, with the landing being completely hidden until the last second. Regardless the landing looked plenty steep. Wall ride tranny looks better, but I'm going to say the wall ride is still way to vertical for the way it's setup. I'm not really a fan of wall rides anyways though. The flat rail looks like the best setup jib. Without hitting the features I'm not going to say any of it is good, or even acceptable, but there is hope. IF they ever open that terrain.

Camelback is ok in general, but the park is a joke in my opinion. Better than it has been in the past, but still very odd setup and no flow at all. I don't know. I just don't see the jumps getting better, or the rails getting updated. All that money that they get there through lift tickets, groups and consistent crowds it seems that they dont spend nearly enough on the park atmosphere. Those yellow rails remind me of the old mountain creek rails circa 1999...

sorry i didnt report yesterday but here goes,

 

glenns right, the snail box shouldnt be on the snow. its in the wierdest place behind the fence and you can never get enough speed to get up it.

 

i liked the jump, id say about a 15 footer, plus it wasnt rutted out which was good.

 

battleship is kinda wierd because its ride on, it would actually be easier with a gap on in my opinion.

 

flat-down was a smallish gap, and as previously said if your going remotely fast you will land on the down.

 

laurel glade wasnt open, but the park crew guys were sessioning everything.

 

rhodo did look nice, too bad it was closed.....

 

and glenn, what were you wearing yesterday? i wish i would meet a fellow pasr.....

Baggy grey pants, Light grey hoodie, green helmet, cheap oakley goggles, also I have a beard.

 

I would have looked for you but I didn't read your posts until after I had got back. I'll be up again tonight after 5 when my pass is good.

 

You wouldn't happen to be the kid whose ski I landed on?

[hey you kid]

yea that snail box was in a bad spot, but i found if u drop from before the fence and takeing a wide turn into the park then turning inot the run way u got enough speed. the jump was alot of fun and the landing didnt get bombed out. the battle ship was fun but i couldnt finish it for some reason. i didnt hit the gap but the skier i was with was getting alot of air off of it. the flay down was alot of fun but i saw the landing getting beat up quite a bit.

 

i really liked lower morres ramble.

At least the landing is steep, and if you even sort of land correctly you will ride away.

nope

If you have a night/weekday pass you're good all day saturday's after March 1st. It's in the begining of the season pass contract, but not promoted by CB. The date may change a little but its been that way every year since the begining of that pass!

Thats news to me. I don't have my contract anymore, can anyone else verify the dates for this season?

Starting March 1, Sun-Fri Passes are good any time. The Night's Only pass is still only valid from 4-10pm each night, but the midweek pass can now be used on Saturdays.
