k2 ambush 164 - freeriding
burton T6 159 - Rock board, and freestyle
A T6 for a rock board!? You must have alot of money:)
-
I ride a Rome Artifact 150 w/ Rome 390's for when the snow is soft and I plan on riding park most of the day. Also use it for backyard jib sessions. This board can't hold an edge on ice at all after breaking it in, it has bronze edges which go dull rather quick and can't dig into the ice.
I recently bought a Ride DH with Ride Beta bindings for when theres ice spots and what not for freeriding and park. Holds an edge real nice on the ice.
I'm real picky I can feel every suddle difference in between board/binding setups so I'm not sure which one I'll favor I've only rode the DH twice so far. I love the Artifact for how easy it is to butter and flex the board and the DH has some crazy pop and responsiveness.
-
Jay Peak has better tree riding than Stowe imo. Check it out while your up there its not far from Stowe.
-
I recommend the Ride DH for all mountain and park, killer board I just got the 2006 model online for cheap and love it.

Snow still falling lightly in Stroudsburg I hear snowmobiles flyin around on the roads by my house. I'd say we got about 4-5".
-
It's been snowing in Stroudsburg since about 11am we have about 2" maybe a little more on the ground and still comming. It seems like the forecast was dummed down a bit this morning hopfully we still get nailed.

Fast snow...I'm more concerned about the roads and getting the paths and driveway cleared at work...by late afternoon tomorrow I would expect it to be pretty sloppy and then all freeze solid..it just depends how warm it gets tomorrow...it looks like good snowmaking weather after this ice storm..
Indeed it's gonna be cold for a bit, I was talking to a snowmaking supervisor the other day and he said it looks like were gonna have a warm February this year which would suck. I never trust those long range forecasts but I hope every mountain starts making 100% for the duration of this cold comming in.

Looks like tomarrows gonna be an icy mess:( Possibly tons of sugar if the groomers rip it up nice?
-
Nothing but a little bit of sleet in Stroudsburg. Seems like we're gonna get mostly ice unfortunately:(

i had a lot of fun from opening until about 3, went in to eat after and it was getting icy when we came out. but thats expectable when it softens up during then day and the temp drops back down at night
the parks were fun. mini park was cool to mess around in and the bigger park could use some work but i liked the first 2 jumps and the down double barrel especially. the 3rd jump needs redone, it needs a bigger takeoff and a steeper landing. didnt hit the 4th because the down rail was so nice.
They took 80% of the features out last tuesday for snowmaking and should be rebuilding the big park before this weekend.
IT was really icy at night. What was up with the 2 quad lifts being closed too ? Ive never seen both of them closed.
Only one quad closed at noon the Sullivan because of a rollback issue and a replacement part that needed to be ordered so it couldn't reopen. They ran the baily to service the sullivan side of the mountain for the rest of the day. The Stevenson was open all day until closing and there were practicly no lines.
And again anyone that expects anything other than ice when you had a near 40 degree beautiful day and than a below freezing evening needs to go back to school.
-
Conditions from first chair until about 2pm were almost spring like not a bit of ice anywhere was beautiful. Than at about 3 4ish everything started hardening up and it got icy. You really can't expect anything else when its a nice mid to upper 30 degree day that drops below freezing in the late afternoon.
-
Seems to be the way places are going
.Season Passes FTW!
But anyways, they replaced those tickets with other obtions such as dicount cards and what not which are very worth looking into if you ride a fair amount but not enough for a pass to be worth it.

I'll be there Monday. I've been avoiding the crowds this week but when I was up tuesday morning they had just stripped Rhodo the main park and were making snow on it for a rebuild. Not sure what they changed around or if the rebuild is done yet.
-
You can't judge any mountain for its crowds/conditions on Christmas/New Years week lol. If you do than your just another one of them gapers that were out there. CB is definately trying to nickle and dime the NY, NJ people without a doubt. Anyone that holds a season pass at CB dosnt park in the main lots anyways, why would you? Pass holders park by the glenn or stevenson and take a 10-20 yard walk directly to a lift.
I also bet Camelbacks park pass lift line was the shortest lift line in PA this entire holiday season
-
Thats because they have step in technology. Your foot basically sits lower than they would in your burton boots. Probably have to tighten up the straps on your bindings. I had a pair of these and love them until the toe ripped open. also the DH is a great park/ jib board, I have a 06-07 model I think and love it.
That makes sense, I have my straps set almost as tight as they can go while still being centered over the boot and they hold fine. It just took awhile to adjust everything right for these boots but I love them, they are so comfortable. The DH and Betas will be arriving on the 7th can't wait!
-
What about Alpine Mountain? No one talks about them on here, I've never rode there though only drove by it.
-
how come their park sucks everytime i go?
If you havnt gone yet this season than that explains it but go early in the day and its beautiful. I was there today and al the rails accept one were taken out of Rhodo and the fan guns were going so expect a rebuild in Rhodo really soon. The smaller park next to it is lacking features but they're all setup great and are still tons of fun. The table top on upper moores couldnt be more perfect of a practice jump.
-
I'll be there for midnight maddness most likly. Freshly groomed mountain at 9pm sounds great
Black jacket, black pants, rome artifact 150.

I like my DH, its an 07-08, its a little stiff though
I have it detuned and have it set up as a dedicated park board, as for riding the rest of the mountain, it was ok
Why did you go for an 06?
I also have ride alpha's which are a step down from bata's, rides new bindings are fantastic, super light and flexes just right. the ratchets are great too, I was using my brother's rome 390's and really don't like them, the strap is too heavy and the bindings are too stiff, but hey, its a choice of preference.
I went with the 06 because it was a killer deal I think, I got it for $180 barely used 155. I have the 390s on my Artifact I like them alot but they're a bit funny with my new boots DC Parks they don't fit as nicely as my old burton boots did in them.

is what i was thinking.Tsk tsk that is bad, just smoke trees.

Just ordered a 2006 Ride DH, the year before they added the slimewalls. I currently ride a Rome Artifact and I love it but it aint the best board for cruisin normal trails or any type of icey conditions at all. I was lookin for a board with a bit more pop little better on jumps and ability to freeride a bit smoother on than the artifact. I paired it with 09 Ride Beta bindings im a little hesitant about after reading some reviews. Can't wait until it comes in the mail so I can try it out. Anyone else ride the board/bindings setup? What do ya think?

I'd like to get blown tonight...
1/12/08 TR Park Report!
in Camelback
Posted · Edited by DiMeThIcOnE
Showed up around 4:00, unfortunately I missed the weekend pow pow due to my truck being in the shop but to my suprise the snow was still great, nice fresh packed powder everywhere. Anyways just an update on whats going on in the parks.
Upper Moores: Same setup, C box, the bonk flat box option than the table top to the random butter box setups and the small flat down butter box.
Lower Moores: Same S-Box witht he Hip jump setup.
*Tower Trot: Looks like they're starting to rebuild it theres 2 nice gap jumps one where the first hip was after the flat down and another where the mailbox bonk was and they took out the last jump by the lift. Theres plenty of room for them to add some more jibs after a little snowmaking.
Rhodo: Same 3 jump line, the last big booter was closed today and they took the rest of the rails out that were in there. I'm assuming a full rebuild is comming soon, it's been awhile.
*Progression Park: Rebuilt very nice to match its name. Small low flatbox or small jump option, they took the rainbow box off the roller and put it on the flat set up nicely with the option of the big flat down butter box setup perfect followed by a hip.
Jibs are limited right now at Camelback but I think that will change by the end of this week with the cold weather perfect snowmaking conditions to pile up and rebuild. I'll be up there tomarrow morning and report back if they add any other features.
