You need a parent to sign for your pass when you pick it up. So make sure they stick around (atleast long enough). I would say try and get there by 730 if you want to be skiing at 8 on Saturday...

Gonna have to call you out on that one. CB has a kick ass bump run going on rocket for about 3 weeks. Then for no apparent reason they groomed it out. While it was bumps, they were soft all around, and rythmic. Asp has some good lines set up on it too, but the turn usually caused a change of rythem. I know there were a few times were the bumps just formed poorly, and they usually regroomed the trail, and retried a few nights later. And let us not forget the green run with the bumps (set up by the winch)...kick ass way to learn. If you shoot a gun at a bump at CB the bullet would go into the bump...If you shoot a gun at a bump at blue...it would bounce off.

For the most part...I'm just guessing at some answers here (hey, its better than doing hw)... 1. Say its 400 rooms (big place)...maybe 600 more cars a day on xmas week (when its filled up). Not a huge rush, considering there are 8000+ skiers at CB on a busy day. Not a huge increase, plus they will go up through the tubing park driveway. 2. Indoor waterpark shouldn't need too much extra water. After everything is filled up once, there is going to be a limited amount of water lost. A little from it going into the air, a little from people splashing and stuff, but not too much. I would imagine all the hotel rooms would use up more water than the water rides. 3. Uhh thats not really my department...Maybe truck it over to shawnee? 4. Who knows...Probably in there plans. 5. Doesn't really matter to me (or my parents as far as I know)...CB no longer owns northridge anyway... 6. I was talking with a long time mountain employee and he said CB owns the bottom 3/4s of the mountain...Which means if they wanted they could put in trails from basically the first turn on Nile mile...They do not want to spend the money to put in snowmaking... Who knows what will happen. My guess is they are going to have the same waterpark issues as great wolf lodge had...

I know rocket had a sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet line last year...So did Asp...

I liked the green with the bumps. I'll try to fly through them if there on something flat, but I'm not about to try and fly down rocket when it has bumps. Hopefully this year, when they get a kick ass bump run going, and theres no reason to groom it out, they will let it sit for a while.

Great tuning stuff cheap, I love it!

Good call. I try not to fall on my head, but that doesn't always happen. I busted one helmet, which makes me wonder about what would have happened if I wasn't wearing it...

I have noticed lately that Accuweather has been saying colder things than weather.com but I haven't been paying enough attention to see which one is usually right.

If they groom everything out, then let people ski on it, then groom it out again, the snow surface won't be as hard, and more rain will go into the snow. If they leave it in piles, or groom it, and let it set up for 48 hours, letting the snow get harder, more rain will run off of it, making the snow a lot nicer when they do open, and saving more of it. It would probably be icey most of the season if they opened then closed for rain then opened again, since its the base layer of snow.

I heard BB and JF were both in decent shape.

And if I ask about anything to do with bindings you yell at me and tell me to go to a shop. I guess its cause hes a freestyler
-
Ohh well in that case, its not actully important if the bindings release or not...
-
Uhh good luck finding info on that stuff...Maybe shot skierforever a message over on ridecamelback.com...
-
Looks like an agressive stance Low hips, bent knees, arms forward...You better watch out '999 shes about to kick your ass
-
Snow does melt faster when its groomed out...They didn't just make that up. Less surface area, less in the sun...
-
They deffinatly don't like to hear stuff like that
-

-
