rgrwilco Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 that would be sick!! but we all know bear will pull the we don't have enough vertical so that won't work  we can all hope bear will put some extra dirt up there so the can have more vertical   they are plenty of highspeed lifts in the world that have less vert than bear fyi.

snowboarddude Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 i have heard that before that is why when mark says it in get confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saurus Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Bear will not open up a highspeed lift! If bear had a highspeed lift the runs would be too crowded. Bear keeps there quad slow and has it on the most popular run because they want to keep the people on the mountain at one given time low. Imagine if they have a highspeed quad. Hitting a jump withoutgetting cut off is like driving on the skuchyll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petter369 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Does anybody know where all of the new automated snowguns have been placed? Also, is the Tubing Run Terrain Park going to be permanent or only for a couple seasons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyskeez Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 they put some in between tubing and the jump terrain park idk if that was all of them or if they put others elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboarddude Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 i heard they got 20 new guns and they only have 3 or 4 in the jump line so i think they are probly somewhere else on the mt    the jump line will probly be perminate because tubers are gay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yeah it's definitely a permanent thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_rider Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Tubers are gay nothing but the truth, but I don't for see them making the changes they did for a jump line that won't be permanent they moved a good amount of soil and did more with the ground for it so I'd guess permanent. Â Also I'd love to see at least a quad there I mean think about it, you'd cut the wait time in half for the park and you wouldn't have to worry about kids falling and shit like that.

snowboarddude Posted November 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 i think a season pass lift would be a good idea  i also think that season pass parking would be a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrwilco Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 season pass lift would never work...theres no profit on passholders. Â parking would be a good idea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumilautailija Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 earlier in this thread Mark said that the tubing park was going to be permanent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboarddude Posted November 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 anyone know how they are gunna be setting it up?? will it be a hit line like last year or will it be a jib garden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 It'll be jumps. The rest of the terrain parks are pretty much jib-gardens with the exception of the jump line on the left side of Black Bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowsdower Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 There is still construction equipment all over the base area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC-Mark Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Here are a few updates to answer some of the questions: 1) Lighting has been improved on the tubing park jump line. It is permanent and we did add 6 new guns in that area. 2) The new lift will be a fixed grip quad. The issue is not vertical, it is the line length of the lift. The shorter the length, the more often chairs come off and reattach to the cable leading to chair spacing issues and increased down time. Last year was the first year Doppelmayr/CTEC installed a high speed with a line length as short as ours. Until that, they did not recommend installations with a line length less than 3000'. For reference, the line length on A lift is roughly 2400'. 3) The new guns went in the tubing area, bottom of Kodiak, Cub Run, Broadway and a few fill in spots on upper Kodiak, Drifter and Timberline. Â I hope that helps. Check out the webcams, the snow looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboarddude Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 ty for the update bc mark  nice snowmaking will it continue tonight? and are there any posible opening dates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_rider Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I doubt we'll hear an opening date until this coming or next weekend with all this crap snow making weather, but it would be really nice to hear something at the rail jam this weekend if it happens.
