Mountain Creek 02/03/2006--getting thin

[mtnbiker99x]

Took a ride up to Mountain Creek today 02/03/2006. In a nutshell, conditions are really getting thin and they need some cold weather to make some snow to build the base back up.

 

Stopped at South Peak first and it was supposed to open at 4 p.m. but that never happened. Conditions at South looked real thin too. Vernon was thin but once you worked your way around the obstacles you were fine.

 

Some trails were bad enough that I broke out the camera phone and snapped a few photos and posed in the galleries.

 

We can really use come cold weather.

I cant believe they made you walk down the trail in that one spot. Definetaly not worth a lift ticket. Would have been coolif there was a jump in front of the walking part, and you could just jump it.

I'll say. Today at school I got to hot and took off my polo shirt and just wore my short sleeve shirt I had on underneath.

Everything was "rideable" was no walking except getting off the gondola. Bare spots and thin cover, some trails full cover it was a real mixed bag.

 

The gondola you have to take everything off every time then u have to walk over to where you would ski, it was just very muddy at the top. That was the only walking part, and it was a longer walk than usual.

Oh yeah, I just remembered. I noticed a lot of garbage under the lifts at Mountain Creek. In particular there must have been a promotion of some type where a lot of stuff got tossed onto the trees by the lift. It really looks like crap and can't be good for the environment. Some corporate marketing department's bright idea I guess.
