  6. Park Suggestions

    in Bear Creek

    Posted

    Hearing about the tow rope the guy talked about earlier; i heard that next year Bear is getting rid of tubing and making the tubing park into a whole other terrain park and as you are thinking right now "what about the carpet lift" yes that will be used for the terrain park and the fence will be taken off. (heard this from my friends dad who is on ski patrol at Bear)

  9. Bear Creek's Conditions/Setup

    YEah that was me and my friends. We only got to do it like 3 times and then ski patrol came and shut us down. The run in was super sketchy and landing was narrow...it was pretty gnarly to say the least. 2 kids jumped it and landed it though. We'll be looking to hit it more during the season when they get some more snow there.

     

    O i am glad to have seen it then i saw the guy with the red hair hit it he got mad high and it was super sketchy lol but looks nice when we get more snow

  20. Downhill Bikes and trails

    in Bear Creek

    You ever been to Platty or Mt. Creek on a race weekend? How about back in the day when Spring Mt. used to run races? I know not all downhillers are like this, but there is always someone in the lot pumpin' loud music that no one wants to hear, downin' a few beverages, and what not. During the busier parts of the summer when Mt. Creek's waterpark is open they have security patrolling the lots for this type of activity because they want to make sure the families that come to the waterpark are not disturbed by the bikers. I have seen people cited in Mt. Creek's parking lots by Vernon police for this type of behavior. So to answer your question, no that isn't what I dream, it is what I've seen. Don't try to argue that it is the people from Jersey and New York doing that, because I've been to Whistler and it happens there, and I have buddies in California who tell me it happens there too.

     

    To answer your original question, I asked a Bear Creek representative earlier this season if they were thinking about running the lift for biking and developing any freeride/DH trails, and the answer was no. I don't know what all the reasons are, but some of it might have to do with the fact that they don't want to attract the people that might inevitably come along with the DH/FR crowd.

     

    Right now they have some nice cross country loops, and run one or two races, but thats about it. People have said good things about their trails, which is a good thing, because maybe it will drum up some interest in other types of trails being developed. I'm not sure if there are restrictions on types of bikes you can ride there, but I know some mountains out west are instituting rules like: no bikes with over 5" of rear wheel travel, no tires over 2.3" wide, etc..., basically prohibiting freeride/DH bikes from the hill without explicitly saying so.

     

    haha my bike with 8" of rear and 203mm of front and 3.0s def not allowed

    To my knowledge they aren't developing any downhilling or freeriding at Bear Creek. I think it has a little to do with them not wanting half naked men who are covered in mud downing a few beers to Godsmack and G and R in their lot after a day ripping while a wedding is going on in the background.

     

    Is that what you dream of at night becasue thats def not what DHer's are.
