  4. Well Boo Hoo....Wait till you hit the real world.....What's so tough about waking up a little early....I really wish they would open at 7:30 every day I agree with Sex Kitten....take what you can get.....Cause before you know it the season will be over and you be talking about all the good times there and jonesing for the next season to start.

  7. Word on the mean streets of Macungie is another two weeks til closing(weekend of the twentyfifth).....possibly another week if the planets aline correctly.
  8. Must have the shakes when he hit the post button.....there's like three of them.
  9. I've taken some of my younger students through the park on some busy days(always off to the side)just to show them how dangerous of a place it can be.I explain the what to do and what not to do in the park if they are just riding through.It also shows them how thoughtless and rude people can be in the park can be. I agree that the park is no place to teach your child to ski/ride,but a lot of park riders have no clue about park manners.
  10. By my calculations 65 days puts you damn close to the 18th.I would really like to know how they came up with the 65 season.I've been riding there for a long time and the season usually runs from just before Christmas to the second or third week in March.
  11. Damn close to it.
  12. There are actual indian burial grounds off of Timberline....Here is a BC/Doe Mtn. ghost story.............. Haunted Family Property By: Horselovernut@aol.com This property is in Berks county Pa. and no one has lived on the property since 1900. No one can visit the property because of the ghosts or whatever you want to call it. I have never been there but I have heard some strange stories. A woman screams and if you approach the house a woman stands in the window with a candle lit. She is dressed in colonial style clothes. The family assumes this is our ancestor. You also hear a voice telling you to get off his land.. April27 and June9 ,2002 we lost both our dogs. One being a black lab and the other a german short haired pointer. This property connects with Doe Mountain Ski Resort, people who work there and has visited Doe Mountain has seen my dogs running with a elderly man dressed in colonial work clothes. These people described my dogs right down to the collars. They even told me their names are Nike and Buster. Which is their names for real. I was planning a trip there with my daughters and Doe Mountain called me and begged me not to come. They said do not go there at night time. For whatever reason they said the night time is the worst. According to Doe Mountain they said they hear the screams at night and will not allow their guest out at night, the is a rule that they feel must be abided by.This is when you hear the blood curtling screams. We had a ancestor that died from a farm injury in 1778. Her husband died one year earlier leaving her with 6 children and expecting another one. No one knows exactly how she died or how, but the blame always fell on a in-law. The in-laws name was Christopher Bittenbender. Some feel he got a bad rap even though he was never tried and convicted this stayed in the family history and no one corrected this. The property is known as the Fetteroff/ Fetherolf/ Bittenbender property. The cementary still is there along with the house and barn. The stone and log house was built in 1738 and has been kept in excellent condition. It's liveable even today. No one in the Fetherolf family dares to step foot on this property. Some say it's cursed, I say I am in no hurry to find out. Every family member that has been on the property with their children, the children has always had tragic accidents that claimed their lives. The last was a girl that was killed in a plane crash. She had visited the property with her father 2 years prior. Call it what you want this is too strange for coincidence. Sometimes the family has vistors from our ancestors that lived and built the property. I haven't had a visit since last year, I still have strange things happening in my house and barn but no visible faces and bodies. Sometimes I hear a pounding on my daughters bedroom wall and she is 7 yrs. and refuses to sleep in there. I have heard the pounding in my room as well but I still sleep in my room. My cousin has more visits than I do but he's not married and has no children. He can handle the confusion more than my house can endure. I always know when they are here cause my Jack Russell growls at nothing. One night she leaped in the air at nothing and was attacking something. The something you could not see. All you heard was a cane tapping. One night my horses was making awful noises so I went to check on them. I found nothing but they had a frightful look in their eyes and were rearing up in the stalls. They all were breathing heavy and were sweaty as if they had been running. Maybe one day I will get brave enough to visit but not any time soon. Even Reading county courthouse knows of this property the land records officer calls it the haunted land...
  13. Here is what BC says about season passes(this is right off the web site) SEASON PASS AND FIVE SESSION PASS GUARANTEE By purchasing a Season Pass or Five Session Pass, you make a commitment to Bear Creek Mountain Resort. In return, we make a commitment to you with our Pass Guarantee. We all hope for a cold and snowy winter, but if the weather does not cooperate Bear Creek has you covered by guaranteeing a minimum 65 day season! Season Pass Guarantee For every day that Bear Creek falls short of the 65 day guarantee, you will receive a 2% per day credit* toward your Season Pass purchase the following season. For example, if Bear Creek is open 55 days, 10 days less than the minimum guarantee, you will receive a credit of 10 days multiplied by 2% equaling a 20% credit toward the following season. *Credit amount is based on the cost paid for the 2006-2007 season pass. I've been going to BC for a long time..on the average they would open just before Christmas and close around St Patty's day.....that comes close to 80 plus days....I wonder who came up with 65 days? Then they credit you with a discount towards next years pass if they don't meet the 65 days...OK...I bet those pass prices go up next year..... If BC goes to the end of March into April then props to them,but if they close on the 18th that's how there going to cover there ass
  14. Bring back the snack shack
  15. I could never understand why they never have comps during the day.More people would enter,the riding would be way better,the spectator crowd would be bigger,just better PR all around.Closing the trail for two hours wouldn't be a big deal...hell they close timberline for almost three hours for "race training" every Sat and Sun morning.
  16. A season pass holder should never be turned away.....I would have called ahead to find out what it might be like there....It was a freakin mess there today,if I didn't work there i would have never gone......The mountain is only so big and can only handle a certain amount of people...
  17. I did not get to see or ride the half pipe....but what kind of pisses me off about BC and the half pipe(in the past) is there lack of maintaining it.They like to cut it for comps and that's it.I would like to do more half pipe riding but there,but the pipe is never consistant.
  18. They put the big stair set in a piss poor spot.It's a cool feature but it does not belong there.
  19. If I boycotted every place that pissed me off at one time or another I wouldn't be able to ride anywhere. As for having to pole to get to timberline...I can just about get there on my snowboard..you should be able to skate with your skis twenty or thirty yards with out much difficulty. It's one evening in your life...let it rest
  20. Moguls on timberline would be cool.There one of my favorite things to ride on a board. When it comes to the car rail...isn't there already a flat rail?...is it that big of a deal that it's mounted on a car????
  21. I miss the old bar...You could have a really good time there....The new bar is way too uptight....They need to have rock bands out on the deck in the spring.....
  22. It's pretty cool...but the large group that sits in the middle of the trail waiting their turn sucks.....
  23. I had a chance to ride the new quad and it is indeed very nice.They had grizzy open(which the conditions sucked)I was able to take two runs down sasquatch before they roped it off.I'll tell ya it was freakin sweet.Great blown snow(not the sticky stuff)It felt like the stuff right out of a magazine(for all of about 15 seconds).Sunday should be nice.
  24. It would never work cause of the traffic..Plus the mountain doesn't want you to ride with out buying a ticket.....and isn't 3 terrain parks enough?(when there 100% open)
  25. Mixilplix

    Opening?

    I don't think they would take a hit on the season passes for next year if there not open this weekend.With so many people moving into this area there always someone to take the place of your pass next season.But what the hell...I want them to open this Friday!
