Dave_S Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 It has been a while since I visited the board (you know the summer and all). It is amazing what you guys have done with this site! Since I now have a method to collect my statistics, I was wondering if you could help me in calculate the Vertical aspect of the collection. I do not have a device to measure this but I was wondering if anyone had some static statistics on Camelback as that is where I do most of my skiing. Also I was wondering how those statistics were captured so when I visit other mountains I can be sure to include those runs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schif Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Just a thought, why don't we add some kind of page on here or even just a pinned thread with the vert numbers for all the lifts in the area. I'm sure between all of us on here we have exact numbers for every lift in the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 is this the infamous Dave S? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibhusky Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Dave S. used to be over on the CB board, but not to be confused with Dave Kulik of CB employee fame or Davey J, also of employee fame. There was another active "Dave" who was not a CB employee and I think this is the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_S Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 is this the infamous Dave S? I have been called infamous before but I am sure you are looking for one of the other daves. I am not the J or K type. when I first got on the Camleback board i tried to use just Dave and it was taken so I coppied the other guys. sorry for the lack of imagination. Hey and BTW thanks for the insight to the Vert count - this should be enough to get me started. NOw if only we could get started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeless Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 You can find lift stats by year of installation at the following link: http://www.skilifts.org/install_na.htm That's a pretty interesting site, some interesting information: Sullivan express (main quad by lodge at CB) only 671 ft Stevenson (by cliffy) only 797 ft Blue's main quad 1083 ft Shawnee aparently had a 970 ft lift installed even though they only claim 700ft vertical Shawnee's Tomahawk quad 671 ft (same as CB's ) So it would seem for vert freaks that Blue is the clear choice. Now if only they could learn how to make "un-lumpy" snow and make the runs more interesting they'd be a clear winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I know what you mean, since Camelback's runs last 1/2 of a Blue mtn run But that's a great site, everything about ski lifts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeless Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Blues runs uninteresting.... Switchback, Razors, Sidewinder, Lazy Mile, Paradise, Raceway, Chute, Burma Road....whatever you were smoking when you visited Blue you should have shared.. Hmmm where to start: Burma road: interesting but full of (slow) traffic. Paradise: flat, slow, full of idiots. Raceway: 30 yards long Chute? where is that? Switchback, Lazy Mile and Razors were good Sidewinder would have been OK if it wasn't full of park stuff You forgot mainstreet ( good, but short) and Challenge (good but felt the same as razors) Don't get me wrong, I really like riding at Blue and the new trail next year should make it even better. I don't smoke.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
