Stripes

I want to try a new mountain and would like some firsthand opinions on how Seven Springs compares to Blue. Is it worth the 3+ hour drive? I typically snowboard Razors, Challenge and Lazy. No park for me, just like to go fast. Anything comparable or more challenging at SS?

Makes sense. I may do just that. I don't get many days on the mountain so I'm trying to get a feel for elk before I go. I really like Blue, but my friends want to do Elk. Childless friends don't get how your time is limited when you have kids! The Elk trail map looked like it has mostly black diamond runs and a few blue squares to the edge of the resort. For some reason I can't grasp, in my head, how long a run is by looking at a map. Duh.

I'm thinking of taking a trip to Elk with some friends and was looking for input on how Elk compares, in size, to Blue. Are the runs at Elk as long Lazy Mile/Switchback? Those are the runs I normally board, intertwined with trips down the Sidewinder and Paradise. I take it easy, so I don't need anything technical. Just looking for longer runs. I was disappointed with Jack Frost last week. The runs were way too short.

Thanks guys!

Just wondering what the crowds are like at JF on Fridays. Thinking about taking a trip up.

Go to Blue this week, get a pass and they'll give you have off on your next visit, then go next weekend as well. Conditions aren't too bad.

With all the snow they should easily be able to make it into April. Maybe even the 2nd or 3rd week. The end of boarding season means the beginning of detailing season. Bring on the rides!

Yea the setup looked nice. It would be nice to see a setup like that in the park for all those rail riders.

Ditto on the 3rd roller lip. I tried prejumping but still caught air. I cased the table and overshot the step up, jolting my spine. Since I have a wife and mortgage to take care of I never went back for my first heat. The wind was killer as well. At least the park was killer all morning!

I concur!

Are you saying there is a discount for returning season pass holders (better than the early bird special)?

Sorry, I just bought a Burton Dominant. I couldn't hold out any longer.

From where?

Here are a couple I took last Wednesday...

NP, if I don't buy one by then I'll check back with you.
