rgrwilco Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 You fall, get theF@@@ off the landing as soon as you fall. The only exceptions are if you have broken something/concussion/shityourself. And just because your under the lift doesnt mean you should get a snowball thrown at you? that makes no sense. I got hit waiting to hit the big staircase under the quad. If i see that kid again im shoving his pole down his throat  i would prefer if someone shit themselves that they clear the landing asap. bear doesnt need anymore brown spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboarddude Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 he came in behind me or from the stair set i don't know where but when i looked around there wasn't anyone so i droped i figured he must have been right by the stair set when i looked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_rider Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I think one way to solve the problem is just to make the parks hard to get to I remember bagging on blue for those stairs and all that but it was actually a very good idea; I mean think about it people go through the parks because they resemble any other trail only with jumps and rails make a large mound of snow or something you have to work to get up over and down to get in, then people are less likely to go in. On top of something like that have people actually in the park to get the gapers out; I was talking to a mtn. creek local yesterday and apparently their park crew has instituted a 0 tolerance policy if they catch you in the park (you being a gaper) they cut your pass and take you down. Â This is what we need at bear some sort of combination of a deterrent on entering, some signage just putting it right there you come in and don't follow the rules you're out no excuses no arguements, then the last line of defense is the pass cut.

paolo Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 At mountain creek are their any parks where the gapers can learn? Because if there isnt then the sport is just gonna stop happening. All of us were noobs at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyskeez Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 bear cant do the 0 tolerance thing right now if they wanted to. they dont have any signs saying you cant so people could argue and not really be wrong in their eyes.

AngryHugo Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 They definitely do need some sort of patrol to keep the goofballs out of the park. Maybe if they expand and/or promote the family park more (maybe throw an instructor in there, kinda like a lifeguard at a pool), it may help prevent a lot of injuries and lawsuits.

JibHonk Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 i could give 2 shits about"beginners" in the park...if only they could read signs and warnings about smartstyle and features.....as long as they leave landings promptly and avoid features they know they cant do .....PROPS TO BEAR FOR THE SICK FENCE AROUND THE JUMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EAZY-Emuntz Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Most likely sunday the park is gonna be closed for that Mid-atlantic snowboarding thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boarder1x9 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 for real? but yea they should get park passes but all you need to do is go to the ticket window and ask for one when you go(if you dont have a season pass). I mean its cool to be in there if your trying to learn but the people that don't belong in there wont bother to get it just to do a few runs. right?

rgrwilco Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Respect Gets Respect  * Respect the terrain and others (Freestyle terrain is for everyone regardless of equipment or ability)  guess it wasnt in caps. i dont remember that being a part of smartstyle though. and i dont agree with snowlerbladers. i get embarassed for them.

Rowsdower Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I've only seen one blader this year. Â It was kinda hilarious, his blade fell off and he couldnt get it back on so he just stood in the landing trying to get it back on. He gave up and walked off... I laughed.

snowboarddude Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) Time to break the silence. Here are the improvements for this year: 1) Separating lower Black Bear from Lower Kodiak to allow more features to be put in that area and eliminate cross traffic 2) Adding an additional pump house with another 4000 gpm capacity, doubling our total pumping capacity to 8000 gpm 3) Doubling the size of the upper pond to accommodate storage requirements for doubled pumping capacity 4) Addition of 20 new automated fan guns 5) Permanent separation between the tubing park and the terrain park set up in the tubing area 6) Additional lighting in the tubing park area of the terrain park 7) New 64 room hotel, spa, outdoor pool and a new bar and grill 8) Dedicated park patrol to educate users on proper use and direct users to parks appropriate for their skill level 9) Increased park crew size with the goal of keeping all our features pristine and enable more frequent changes in the park 10) New Pisten Bully groomer, allowing 2 cats to be dedicated to the park each night  Now, to dispel some myths and confirm some rumors. Yes, the doubled pumping capacity will allow us to run all 120 guns at one time down to a wet-bulb of 23F. This will translate into the ability to open with more terrain and deeper base depths, earlier creation of larger features and faster recover from warm spells.  As for pass prices, we did increase pass prices by roughly 10%, adding roughly Edited February 9, 2008 by Mini Zep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
