Bode sucks! He's only in 4th place overall. He has no chance this year. He must hate those 3 U.S. Ski Team coaches that chose to go with him.

If you ever met Joel, you would understand.

Get the K2 Cheeseburger Deluxe. My favorite sky!

The new Mark!

No it sucks but if you like BC you might like RT. BORING!

They were doing some preliminary work to integrate it into skinet.com.

Elk is a great mountain but it isn't challenging at all! The snow is usually pretty good and it has a great bar. All of the other amenities are very old and run down. Elk has it's charm and that's it.

Maybe you should be nice in exchange for that $100 pass! Those people that you bad mouth all the time are the same ones that offer you the cut rate pass. Don't cut your own throat.

For a guy that gets a season pass for $100, you really have a negative attitude towards Blue! One would think you would promote the place for that price!

Blue Blizzaed card is $29 until 11/16, $39 after that. Weekdays..................Day or Twilight.............$31............$11 Savings Weekend/Holiday........Day or Twilight.............$39............$10 Savings Any day.....................Night...........................$20.............$9 savings. That's from the brochure.

Your link doesn't work but I don't need to see it anyway. I'll be nice. Breaking down the structure means taking the sharp edges off of the peaks that are left in between the valley's of the P-tex from stone grinding. If you don't round these peaks your ski will not be very fast and could feel railed. These peaks should not be confused with "hair". The steel brush is what causes the "hair", not the stone grinder. No I don't like to argue but you come across as cocky when you add the head banger even when you don't know what your talking about.

I love how you claim that stone grinding leaves hairs. You must not know much about the difference between a stone and a belt. A stone doesn't leave any "hairs"! A good stone grind combined with wax is what makes a particular ski fast. This is why WC athletes have many pairs of skis with different bases and grinds on them for different snow conditions. The reason they don't base grind them during the season is so they don't screw up the base edge angle and remove the wax. It has nothing to do with "hair". They have the luxury of doing this because they have a grind/base for every condition. And the thing about the camber! What the hell are you talking about? Tuning has nothing to do with camber. Once you get out of engineering school you will understand this. One other point.................. ALL race skis are finished on a stone at the factory! So to say never stone grind your skis is absurd!

I'm going with Ski on this one! Only because we never agree on anything! No other reason.

I'm getting a beer! Ski is just getting warmed up.

I can't wait to hear what Ski thinks of this news.

Wow..............reading got expensive!

Holy shit! I was wrong. The new trail is in the new brochure! It's name is "Under Construction". I don't really get the name but whatever. I would have named it Construction Zone.

You better hope the Atomic Rep doesn't find a new "girlfriend"!

Hook, line and sinker.

Do they offer a tubing only pass? That and the bar are all that interest me at BC. Those steep trails scare me!

I'm not sure if your disagreeing with me or not. Take a look at a few things from your link to the Echo site: THE NEWEST Celebrating our second year, Echo Mountain continues to innovate what skiing and riding is in Colorado. What

Going all park would be the death of them. Mountains need variety for the families. If Mom and Dad can't take 8 year old Billy on the beginner trails while big brother Bobby hits the park, they won't go there. They are not going to split the family between JF and BB. Families is where the money is. Lots of them spend more in 1 day than you pay for a season pass! All park would also have a negative impact on the group business. Think about when mountains didn't allow snowboarding. They figured out real quick that they needed those dollars. Gotta have something for everybody.

I agree with both of your above posts. Believe that?! Except for the fun part. Many kids will never be competitive at the races. Most of them still have plenty of fun. It's a different kind of kid and they travel far to be with there race friends. Racing is much harder for a kid to have success. There is no judge to determine who wins. It's you against a clock. Kids win or lose by a 1/100th of a second. No gray area there! Your buddies being judges doesn't help you! It's much easier to go in the park and still be cool even if you can only do the most basic tricks. I think this is why many kids gravitate to the park. That's good thing! They can be cool without much risk of failing. Like Ski said "it's a whole different world". Now follow some of those kids that race through the park, they can ski.

NASTAR racers unite!
