skidude Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 The lights...They are in 4 sections I believe. East side, west side, middle, and base area. I am assuming the groomers each have an area they are responsable for, so it wouldn;t make sence to turn them on and off when a groomer was on that section of the mountain. Groomers have headlamps on them, but its going to work a lot better if they can see all around them, and be much safer for the groomers. Out of everything they do, that really doesn't bother me. I like being able to look at the mountain and see what it looks like at 3am I guess a few things I would suggest are: *Better lighting. Its great, but some areas could use a bit more. Keep the style of lights, they work very well. *More cometitions. Whether it be park, racing, bumps *More demo days/promo days...Always a fun time. *Keep rocket as the bump run *A seperate race arena cut inbetween big pocono and Margies. Set up full time with Fences, GOOD lighting, and just used for racing. *Discounts on food to pass holders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaldon Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 by separte racing area you do mean that only cat team mebers would be allowed???????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidude Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Currently the mountain has said we cannot leave B netting (safety fencing thats required for some races and training) up in the snow. Which is the main reason we cannot train on trails like cliffhanger, which would require a lot of fencing to safely run training. So if thats still the case, then I would say leave it closed when theres no racing or training on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 more wars Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 So if thats still the case, then I would say leave it closed when theres no racing or training on it. All of the trails that would be good for racing all happen to be amongst the most popular and heavily traveled, which is why you don't get to close them... and I can't say I disagree with everyone being able to ski/ride everywhere... I was some sort of snowboard program at CB. I definately wanna take a crack at BoarderX!!! and if they has a Xtraining track, I'd also race that on ski's. THAT would be hardcore!

Ski Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 So, uh, Rob, WTF does skiing switch have to do with cranking down your bindings to ski moguls?

I was some sort of snowboard program at CB. I definately wanna take a crack at BoarderX!!! and if they has a Xtraining track, I'd also race that on ski's. THAT would be hardcore! Actully, the mountain has given us permision to close down Hump, Dromidary either half of big pocono, and 1/2 of raceway for training. To try and keep all the skierforevers happy, we close down hump early monring, and try to have it open by 10 or 1030. It makes for a pretty good GS training hill. Big Poc makes for a fun SL trainig hill, and the SL can be set without a closed trail because your not going as fast. A skier/boarder cross would be pretty cool. The other half of Big pocono? I took a crack at ski racers being unable to comprehend the term "switch" jokes dude, jokes. Uhh heads up, I am pretty sure that back in the day '999 skied bumps cometitively, and is aware of what switch is, and can still probably throw down tricks better than most people on this board.

I'd love to take some bumps with anyone around. Ha, I don't try to prove anything to anyone. Go spend ONE run chasing behind 'Dude and you'll quietly settle into your place with your tail tucked between your Roman Greco legs. That's one of the coolest things about racing...everything is settled. No judges. No need for smack talk. Maybe if you raced a GS down a black diamond up north you'd have some respect for racing. Maybe not. Doesn't really matter. But if you ever wanted to race with us, I'd suggest leaving the WWF attitude in your car. Then you'd be warmly welcomed.

I'll gladly race anyone here... do I get to pick the place? It'll be No Fall Territory, and definately won't be groomed by anything other than wind and rain... and there won't be gates. See, thats why I don't have as much respect for racing as I do freestyle... "oh, it's icy... oh the conditions are bad... blah blah" Have fun on your groomed runs, bud.
