skifreak Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 A few days ago I e-mailed NASTAR to see if there has been any interest at blue for nastar. Tonight I got an e-mail back from them and it includes some info on this trail they are cutting out below is the email... "We have been talking with Blue Mountain about joining NASTAR, but they do not feel like they have the space to offer NASTAR on a regular schedule. However, they are talking about cutting a new race trail which would provide them with the space for a NASTAR program. Please let Jan Sosick and the management at Blue Mountain that you would support a NASTAR program at their mountain." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Hmm, the plot thickens. So, now we have terrain park, race course, anyone have any other ideas on what this new trail could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 It looks like, at the moment, the trail will have alot of turn, which would not be good for a race course, unless the trail is cut w/ its turns in a perfect GS course...that could be dangorous though. They will really need to learn alot of stuff out to make another razors edge like trail. But its great to hear. I'd love to see NASTAR at blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see NASTAR at blue <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe they feel with a new coarse they can devote razors edge, or another coarse to nastar. Likewise, if they have a new coarse they may feel it opens up room on another coarse for a terrain park. Maybe it will just be a regular trail, they are always fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justo8484 Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 go figure the racers always get the new trail. they run that place, and its starting to get mildly annoying. anyone on the inside up there who isnt part of the race program knows what i mean.

On Sunday mornings, they get Razors Edge for hours. On saturday and sunday, and all of this week, they get Raceway for the whole day pretty much (I still haven't taken a run down it this year). They all sport the same "blue mountain race team" jacket and or sweatshirt. They do get in the way sometimes, but frankly I like it when they have their own trails, cause they won't be hogging the 28 other trails.

Glenn Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I think I would be pretty pissed if I got there and razors edge was closed, never happened to me yet, so I guess I won't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaldon Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 yea what happens when you fly down the trails and rangers stop you? or do they use telepathy to realize you on the racing team and they dont care about you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skigurl Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 they telepathical find out that we are on the race team and then they make sure they watch us so that as soon as the see for one second that we are outa control they can take our pases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen plenty of CB employees out of control, espeacially instructors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skigurl Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 half of ski patrol at CB should be watching that video b.c they have NOO clue how to ski, i'm sorry yeah they help save lifes but come on, if they are skiing outa control or cutting ppl off then something needs to be said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaldon Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 i've never seen any of cb ski patrol, or medic crew ever out of control on the trails. sometimes they look a little shady, but i havent seen them fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skigurl Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 i've never seen them fall but they cut ppl off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Yeah they do cut people off, and I've seen first aid fall, never rangers, but they all ride really slow and conservative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 The raceteam at blue flys down any trail they want, as fast as they want to. And I'm pretty sure the policy at blue is as long as you are in control, you can ski as fast as you want, on all trails but the slow skiing ones. Anyway, it appears as if they're cutting another trail also, EAST of paradise (skiers right), and addition to the one underneath the lift, it appears as if there are two that extend from that, if you look below the path...so perhaps 33 trails for next year? hmmm...1 more and they have the most trails, and the most vertical in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Ski areas like to host NASTAR if they feel they can make money. Race departments usually hate hosting NASTAR. It means they have to set and maintain the course and often use their timing gear and gates. And it's crappy practice for their teams because a NASTAR course is a really easy set, with no challenge. So if the race dept. at Blue really has pull, then there probably won't be NASTAR any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skigurl Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 last yr we set a SL right next to nastar, it was fun...hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 my guess is it will be just another trail, possibly a connector between razors edge and paradise, at least thats where i think its going to be built, i could be wrong.

AtomicSkier Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 my guess is it will be just another trail, possibly a connector between razors edge and paradise, at least thats where i think its going to be built, i could be wrong. the trail is going to start right between razors and paradise, and will feed back into the bottom of paradise, it looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaldon Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 What does it look like? you kinda left us hanging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skifreak Posted January 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 I noticed for a few years now there has been like a crossing from razors edge straight over into the woods towards paradise, also when you go up the quad they have a rope fence there...what is it last season I saw a snowmobile in there but I don't have a clue what it is? Atomic...lol I was thinking the same soon they will outdo camelback and have the most trails and vertical in PA but could you really count trails like connector and other short trails as trails lol.
