yeah man, i completely agree. doug, ski with my crew up at Blue and you will see why they are so necessary.... especailly once the skiclubs start and the busses of out-of-towners start rolling in

it would be amazing if it was on paradise... but they will never sacrifice that trail for a park... especially since they built a permanent wall ride on sidewinder

what were you dissapointed with? everything was good and set up perfectly

not ride on... thank god... thats the way it should be. hopefully people dont go carving over the lips and using them as rollers.

word Trevor... so true... yet nobody understands

through the park: - nice gap onto downking box that was up top last year - a jump with two different hits, a small and big one - hip on the left side around the turn - 45-foot battleship box - natural hip on the right that was there since there wasnt even a park - roller to get speed - wall at the bottom around the turn *in the new section that they widened... - option of hitting new downkink box or hitting a decent size jump (no kick to the lip) - huge 45+ foot table -hip on the left side of the turn not everything is out yet.... i'm thinkin the stairs will be placed near the last turn heading down towards lazy... hopefully they put out more rails

lets think about this a little bit... 1) no jumps on the first straight-away... would you rather land on nicely groomed soft snow or an icy wind-blown landing when you have no control in the air because of random husts of wind coming up the face..... i choose the soft snow. and the second table was on the second straight-away... the first table that you are thinking of was for the drop rail that they took down halfway through the season. 2) why no ride on rails? believe it or not, ride on lips for rails are easy and dont require as much skill as an actual gap would. try spinning onto a rail that is ride on as opposed to one that that has a nice 3+ foot gap and a nice lip..... a little easier than the ride-on crap. 3) enough space between the features to get enough speed to avoid flat landings??? you had plenty of speed to hit the jumps last year if you just skated in a little bit (except for the first hit on sidewinder because wind was always being blasted in your face... see #1) and landing flat has nothing to do with lack of speed... i think you might be refering to "decking out" which is when you dont have enough speed... and believe me.. that shouldnt happen on any of the jumps that were built last year. it may not be better this year... give it time... but at least they will try and actually care this year... whats the worst that could happen? two amazing parks at Blue and Bear... i like the sound of that!

the whole point of the video is for people to understand that they arent the only people who use the park and how to be courteous to other who are also there... if people have to watch a video to get their park pass.. it will prevent the first time weekend skiers/riders from going through the park and trashing it and hurting themselves or others. the only thing that is ludicrous is not wanting to watch a 20-minute video, which would keep the park in more or less immaculate shape and prevent huge flocks of people from wedging their way through

yeah and its just going to make both of them better

supposedly Dennis Krell Sr's exact words from that he said during a meeting regarding the park were "I want to beat Bear this year"... or something along those lines... heres suggestions: 1) on the first straitaway on sidewinder there should be rails and no jumps because its too damn windy there and its easier to control yourself on a rail than it is in the air. 2) jumps that have two or more options.... like how the jump in the lower park is now... 3) long landing so people dont flat bottom on everything like last year 4) no ride-on rails

well said... its so true... its the same concept of regualr skiing... if you want to learn.. you buy the pass. if you want to learn to ski park (we prefer if you learn in the beginner park) then you buy the pass..

there will be ride-ons... in the lower park

they learn in the lower park... once they learn some skill and some park etiquette then they can progress to bigger and better things

hopefully you are impressed with it... still arent sure what they are putting in it yet, but it looks promising... i'll probably be around there too after i get out of work..

agreed... i do like the lift line guy who carries around the ski pole and makes people go up four at a time... makes the lift line go so much faster. i would rather ride up with 4 people than alone... give you more people to talk to

yeah for the most part... the only reason i am for them is because too many times people get hurt in the expert park on sidewinder and ruin it for us all. it isnt possible to progress if the park is set up like a beginner park. that is why there is a beginner park (terrain run).. i agree with you that everybody should be able to ski where they please... but its kinda like taking a beginner down challenge who gets in your way while you are trying to carve turns.. its not their place... see where i'm coming from?

everybody seems to be talking good about the "U-box"

unfortunately it does make the rest of the mountain less crowded... everybody and anybody seems to flock to the park because its the "cool" thing to do. i dont have people skiing it as a regular run, but it pisses everybody off when they get in out way and hit the lips onto rails like jumps.. i'm a HUGE fan of park passes but i dont think that will happen.... for now.. we'll have to deal with the school groups and other people that come in busloads and wedge up the lips and roll over them...

man you have to be like 14 years old the way you act. you need to grow up and get a life and stop being the arrogant little bitch that you are. and isnt it a little ironic that you name is "PAsucks"?? how many ski resorts are in New Jersey??? Campgaw... Mountain Creek... and Hidden Valley... how about when you live in a state that has a real mountain you can talk... for now. dont.

for the past 2 weeks i have been having trouble with their site...

On monday, Blue will be opening the park. nobody knows for sure what they are going to haev in it because they are setting it up tonight and tomorrow.. i'll have to talk to some of the people that are on park crew to see what is going on. possibility that the stairs set will be out with a bow on one side and a flat rail going down the other side. the crew said there arent going to be any ride-on shit in that park so thats good and will keep people away i hope. supposedly the new 45-foot battle ship box is going to be out along with the new 40-foot downkink box... as for the old stuff that they had or rails... i'm not sure what will be out. where they widened sidewinder over the summer there is going to be a decently large jump from what has been said... and thats all i know about jumps. oh yeah, and the perminant wall ride will most likely be up for hits since it really cant go anywher....

oh yeah.... justin took the picture.. i ganked it from him. PROPS TO JUSTIN. jerkface.

i know if i had a season pass there instead of Blue i would be pissed. honestly, i think its rediculous that they didnt open ealier this season with all the cold weather and snow that we have had. everybody who i have talked to that skis there are really dissappointed with the decisions that management has been makign this year

they closed because the roads are bad? thats that dumbest crap i ahve ever heard. i drove to Blue last weekend when there was 11 inches of snow on the ground. the roads are fine. they should stop being little sissies. i hate camelback. p.s.- go to Blue if you want to ski

it's a picture of the double chairs from the top of Blue over the summer
