That gate looks like its major offset!

Nice Video Jeff, It looks like fin de Bleu was un grande blasty!! I tried to make it up to attack razors with you guys one last time but it wasn't in the cards, see ya next year!!!

My guess is that online shopping and ebay are whats driven mounting prices up to $45-50. Either way your still saving and the shops make a few bucks and every time I go in I buy gloves, wax etc. - everybody wins!

I've had a few at blue...you guys aren't missing anything - small beers for a big price, no flashing( that I've seen or done), the bartenders are pretty miserable (they could be NASTAR gatesetters at camelback)- the only good things are catching the third period of the Flyers and having the NASTAR starter say "Hey #311!"

...and the crowd goes wild!!

DON'T bring your rock skis! It's THAT nice...

Oooohh, I get it... it's Join Bode...not Joint, Bode?

Cool...My last show was June '95 - tix were a fathers day gift, the first was Halloween night 1980 at Radio City Music Hall,took the train into NYC from Pt Pleasant NJ

grilled cheese sandwiches...is that what you crazy kids are calling it these days?!?!? I logged about a hundred dead shows back in the day

You mean Bode's not reading this thread!?!?!?!?...damn - Anyway a strong finish.. http://www.usskiteam.com/public/news.php?dId=2&sN=1&aId=2115

Bode lives to ski another day...http://www.usskiteam.com/public/news.php?dId=2&sN=1&aId=2109 I guess his knee his hurting though. I thought the idea of the MB was a place for opinions.. (and have a little fun at Bodes expense). The only hating on here is directed at those with a different opinion?!?!?!

The things that freak me out more than snakes when I'm hiking/biking the trail are hunters/poachers, bears, and naked homeless people!

A good hike is the Appalachian trail right behind Blue, Its fun to do quickly - wouldn't really say "run". Its rocky/hilly and "hopping" them is great cross training for skiing and skating.

I was bitching about a situation on another thread that was just a minor glitch in a great season and its only fair that credit and thanks gets given to....Blue ski school - they did a great job with the kids this year, Tina and the womens clinic instructors- they made a ski animal out of Mrs. SnowBunSki!, Blue and Bear NASTAR setters and starters - for giving that extra energy and making it fun, all the park crues, groomers and everyone else for making the best conditions out of a sh*&T snow season!

"Go Bode GO!" DRINK! drink! DRINK! .... Sorry, got caught in a little flash back. I just think he's losing it, I hope he does get it together, it would make a much better end to the story....

Maybe he's not that into sake....

Probably will, he obviously didn't care one way or another and unfortunatley it reflects poorly on the program and mountain

I wasn't mad at the starter, he was just doing what he was told by some (never mind), I was just frustrated at the course setter guy apparantly in charge. In my job I spend a lot of time and energy going the extra mile to keep customers /clients/vendor/subs happy because it reflects well on me, our company and inevitably pays back tenfold - I guess I expect that from everybody else! If I look at it from the flipside and saw a family with 2 little kids wanting to do a few runs on what could be one of the last days of the year, I most likely would have braved the 60 d temps until 3:05 or so to accomodate them!

I just got out of a meeting with an Architect from Boston who calls Burke VT his home mountain, home of Burke mountain Academy. ANyone ever been ther or know much about it? Apparently the mountain has been in some financial trouble in the past and was just bought by a large management company planning to sink some big bucks into it. He's in his late 60's and still races He asked if our "club" team blocks gates???? I told him Im just a NASTAR newbie, for now....

I stopped rooting for him, I think it was Bode's slalom run on the combined in Torino, when he was totally toast at the botom of the run. You could see his "training" was getting the better of him, pretty sad. I think he's got some serious problems, any one know why he didn't go to South Korea?

Yeahh METZ!!! Sound great... (what a flush though?)

Yeah, I thought it was pretty lame - especially since my wife, my son and I already had registration #'s. It was just really frustrating, even my younger daughter was game for a run, it would have been a great end of this season for her and a big confidence booster... The kids wouldn't have cared so much about the meadal but Mrs SnowBunSki would've been bummed if she didin't get a Camelback medal for her to add to the collection!.. The guys attitiude (not the kid at the starting gate) was just sooo bad...It's too bad when people who hate their jobs -especially cool easy jobs!!!

I think he is NOW!

Took some spring runs at camelback yesterday -Thanks to Ski Patrol /Shawnee MS Bonnie! Beautiful day for a long sleeve-T (some bikinis and grass skirts for the beach party girls! ) Heavy mashed potatoes and good practice for the pond skimming thing tho! I got a beef with Their NASTAR guys, the web said NASTAR til 4, Mrs. SnowBunski is on a medal mission so we get to the shack at 2:40 and the kid in the shack say they're just goin til 3, come back tommorrow. I say thers noone on or waiting to run or lift lines, we can get a few runs in by 3 (I need 3 for 100 NASTAR runs this year) he says so sorry , they end sign ups at 2?!?!?? I see a couple of camelback vests 1/3 down the course standing around and ski over to ask them WTF?!?! The one tells me that they end at 3 sharp and he means it no more sign ups, my reply is it makes no sense. He rudely exclaimed "it would if you had to work here"?!?!? OOOOh, yeah must be pretty tuff skiing and and setting/breaking down the course in 60d weather. Is management that miserable up there or is this how they treat thier customers ...certainly doesn't do much to promte NASTAR or their area... We saw the Steeze- mobile ( DE plates black H2?) loading up on our way out and tried to swing around to say Hi but he pulled out like 2 cars in front of us...

Nice job y'all!!!
