SkiCamelback Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Tuesday February 13, 2007 Today we have 30 of 33 slopes open. Closed for snowmaking are Oak Grove (the Big Pipe), Rhodo Glen (the Advanced Park) and Pocono Raceway. Conditions continue to be packed powder with very good coverage. Unfortunately, I never made it past my desk on Monday -- I never got out. If anyone gets out today, please post a first hand account. With the huge amounts of snowfall expected, please be advised that there might be avalanche conditions at CB and trails may be temporarily closed (that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone will direct your groomers to build proper jumps worthy of a park pass. Also steepen up the landings of the rails. The flat rail is the best rail there IMO - it needs a steeper landing and sides - put it at least 5 foot up at the start so you can have a long steep area to land at the end. How do you intend to fix the transition of the wall ride with the snow gun behind it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadows Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 i thought the gun behind the wall was for a big money booter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i guess its safe to say you just enjoy being a miserable prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some obscure stuff like winch grooming the landings, is actually almost impossible because of the grade of the slopes interfering with the cable on the knuckle of the landing.

Some obscure stuff like winch grooming the landings, is actually almost impossible because of the grade of the slopes interfering with the cable on the knuckle of the landing. The winch cat is used to build the jump, you park a cat above where the ramp will eventually go and then push snow up the landing to make it 32ish degrees. Then once the landing is shaped right, you push the snow for the ramp because you no longer need the winch groomer. Nightly grooming is possible on the landings without a winch cat - it just requires one to push the snow uphill something that steep. It can be done without a winch cat but it is easier and more controllable with one. It just has to be thought about ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papasteeze Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 dammit method, I was trying a different tact. But uh yeah, If they have anchor points installed anywhere I haven't seen them. I assume they are only on the front four and cliffy - I can't see them using 2 groomers to build a jump, can you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski911 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 We have the Howitzers and the avalaunchers all ready to go. I've got about 50 charges in my pack just waiting to be used (please don't ski into me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaritaville Skier Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I know where I'd like to see one of those charges planted. It'd sure make this board a lot more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now why would you do that to the administration building, I thought you liked being treated like a clueless noob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaritaville Skier Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I've been here longer than you and involved in winter sports longer than you so the clueless noob title doesn't fit. However, the title hemorrhoid certainly fits you since you like being one big pain in the ass. I think you actually enjoy being pompous and obnoxious. This board isn't all about you, your problems and your running fued with CB. Why don't you stay on the BB/JF site since, by your own admission, that's your preferred mountain. Let those of us that want to ski/ride CB deal with our problems here. Okay, if I have to go to "time out", I'm ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method9455 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Well the 2nd groomer is the anchor point, so no driver needed. You can't tell me they need 100% of the cats out on the mountain moving - considering the park is usually shaped during the day anyway.
