why havent i ever seen them Trevor? myabe they go up at night?

i have never seen these girls in the park and i'm there every day... literally. so i have no idea. must not have been from around here.

when you are out there, skiing is like driving... you know you are in control of yourself but you have to watch out for everybody else.

i smell a lawsuit waiting to happen... anybody want to campout in the car with me?

what are the dimensions of the triangular Bass bar topper?

the USASA slopestyle comp is at Bear on saturday as well... a little more recognized and there should be a lot more talent there as well.

i believe the program that Blue has is $75 for about 4 hours of training. i know they people that work the program and i'm usually with them when they are doing their lessons just to help out if they need it. it would be great if you could get him to do that for a day and i think it would be very beneficial for him. some of the parents of the kids pal around sometimes just to see what their kids have learned. if you are interested send a message to freeridintre or skier150... they teach.

i was up there today. everything was perfect. i loved it. best conditions since we got fresh powder. skied the park most of the day because everything was soft.

how did you go about fixing that?

cheaper than $100??? thats pushing it. if he isnt willign to budge with pricing he might as well go to Wal-mart and buy the plastic shit. but, i'll keep my eyes out for anything rediculously cheap.

Blue's is lame... its like 1800 feet long... and timberline is closed anyway according to the site.

a month and a half i think... i'm pretty sure there are still 5 more weeks of qualifying

no you are done until the finals.... good job.

huh? i dont get it.

some mountains have programs that teach kids how to ski/board in the park. it would be great for him to get into something like that and learn from the people who are certified. if you dont have the money for that.. the best way to learn is by watching and trying. watching other people is a great way to learn. i watch ski movies every day durring ski season and by looking at what other people to and how they do it, i learn the right way and it helps me improve. when it comes to actually trying the features, the best thing you could do is commit to it. if you are going to hit a jump, dont go up to it and bail off the side. you will never learn that way. go at it and hit it. if you fall get up and do it again. when it comes to rails, just try to 50/50 it instead of something technical like a boardslide. most people in the park do 50/50s anyway, its a great way to ge the feel of a rail for beginners. and instead of hitting a rail, go for a bow. something simple. while you are waiting to hit the features you can ask the people around, who are also waiting, waht the best way to approach it would be. if you ask, dont get discouraged if somebody gives you lip, those are the people that probably dont know what they are doing anyway because i know i would rather help somebody learn instead of have them cut me off... most people in the park are nice though. remember to call out when you are going to hit something,wait until the landing in clear, and don't try anything that is way out of your league. and if you are looking for a program... Blue Mountain has a freeride program for skiers and one for boarders. im not sure what other mountains have them so ask around.

don't say "booter".... swdorsey might yell at you because "there arent any booters in PA"....

about the mountain... that is probably the worst rail jam thing i hav ever seen. the rails were 8 inches wide and the boxes were 3 feet wide, and super sketched out setups. about the video... e.d.i.t. don't take offense to anybody... we are just being honest

except today conditions were great all day... even when i left around 6

no rain tonight... they changed it... and the low is supposed to be 26 so it would be nice if they would blow... its really windy though.

thats a good idea... but its supposed to be a "beginner park" so they try to get all different sorts of features in it. i would rather have a rail garden though, but that just means that there will be more people on sidewinder looking for jumps

look for the kids wwearing Darkside Freeride team (its the freestyle ski program)... i'll be with them helping them film and whatnot.

not that it really matters too much because 3rd doesnt move on to finals anyway... but still, that sucks for whoever would have gotten third.

if there were a good pipe somewhere close, that would be amazing. i used to hate pipe until i went up north and actually skied a real once because all of the ones here suck.

i agree with some of that... most of it actually. the reason why the lower park is so beat to shit is because of the mass numbers of people that go through it... and you clearly stated why this happens. i like the thoughts you put forward into improving the park and i agree with most of it... although the slopestyle set-up of sidewinder is nice because you dont have to stop after every hit to decide what you want to hit next... you just keep on going.

go thomas! and i pray to God that the station wagon has a woodkit on it like Thomas' skis. haha. maybe by next week i will learn to spin out of rails... or something like that.
