toast21602 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 replacing the doubles with a sixpack would be bad news. people have enough trouble getting on those slow lifts already. imaigine six noobs falling off of a highspeed six pack. that would be like putting a highspeed magic carpet on the bunny hill.

Funny though, as long as you're going to the base, past that. It would make sense, but i think it's better off at the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 screw it, lets just put in a tram Or a HUGE magic carpet. I just thought of this (actually, like a few years ago) They should put a magic carpet on the deck of a halfpipe, go up and stall it, travel uphill, and drop back in- sickest nosestall ever. Don't even get me started about handplants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 what they should have done is made the tripple chair another 50 yards higher so you could use it to get to the park. but they decided to waste their money on a tripple chair for a hill that nobody uses.

adrian Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 replacing the doubles with a sixpack would be bad news. people have enough trouble getting on those slow lifts already. the detachable lift will be immensely easier to get on and off, you big silly.

toast21602 Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 actually it wont. have you skied at blue lately? half of the people who cant get on or off of the lift are noobs who dont know whtat the hell they are doing. it is not easier to get on and off for these people because they suck in general. keep them on the slow lifts. detachable lifts are made to be easier so they dont have to stop, but with the people who suck, they still stop and piss everybody off.

nick malozzi Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Or a HUGE magic carpet. I just thought of this (actually, like a few years ago) They should put a magic carpet on the deck of a halfpipe, go up and stall it, travel uphill, and drop back in- sickest nosestall ever. Don't even get me started about handplants! I've been saying something similar to this for years now. However, my opinion is a sick jib park with magic carpets next to each jib so you can session them and not get so tired from the hiking.

method9455 Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 It's not that detachable lifts are harder to get on, they're harder to get off. Actually not necesarily harder to get off, its just that there is less momentum getting off and the disaster cases pile up right there instead of getting their ass booted farther down the hill. On a normal chair if the people fall, they wind up at the bottom of the hill and the people after them can avoid them half the time anyway so the chair doesn't stop, on a detachable lift they fall like right there and block it all up. I dunno, either way its not the lifts fault. Somehow even gondola's stop I really don't understand that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoHigh Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Here at Steamboat the Gondola stoped at least twice two diff. days. Its because people can't get thier skis out of the holder on the doors while the gondola is moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method9455 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 yea I haven't fallen getting off a lift in 3 years, which considering i snowboard and teach a lot of new people is an accomplishment cuz new snowboarders wipe out everyone. Actually my friend straight up pushed me once this year for the hell of it but that doesn't count. And the lift didn't stop cuz i got my ass out of the way quick, but yea, the best are the times i took the bunnyhill lift becuase it doubles as a jib park lift at mountain creek, and its so damn slow and the people coming off the top still die all the time its amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method9455 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 think combination of the most rediculously dressed park rats (we have 200 guys thinking they are the next street jeremy jones with the airblaster and neon colors and basketball jersey overload) right next to the gapers who wear the NY Giants football jacket skiing and pizza down on their rentals sharing a lift, it really is classic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justo8484 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Here at Steamboat the Gondola stoped at least twice two diff. days. Its because people can't get thier skis out of the holder on the doors while the gondola is moving. gondolas cause me trouble because the baskets are never big enough for my skis. the tails are turned up, so i at least have to split them, and usually they are too wide to fit as well, so i have to bring them inside the gondola. you would think some lift manufacturer would make a newer basket to fit wider skis that are far more common today, especially out west at places like steamboat. think combination of the most rediculously dressed park rats (we have 200 guys thinking they are the next street jeremy jones with the airblaster and neon colors and basketball jersey overload) right next to the gapers who wear the NY Giants football jacket skiing and pizza down on their rentals sharing a lift, it really is classic that description is so dead on. i couldnt deal with that mountain; its way too crowded. you have to worry more about other people hitting you than trying to land your trick.
