So I started this new thread becuase there is no need to drag a old one out from last year.

It is 11/21 and they have not started blowing snow yet. At this point the projected openening day is 12/9/5.

The park is going to kick ass this year!

it would also be better if they would have built it higher... i dont think they realize that the snow is going to come halfway up it once they start blowing... and then they still need to make a transition for it... oh well, it will still be better than their deathwall from the last 5 years

Blue is supposed to have 7 tails open on the 2nd. Let's just hope the next few days are not too damaging weather wise.

^your best bet is to call them and ask them if they will, that way, maybe they will get the hint. i called today, and they told me no, because they didnt think their was enough snow on the parks to open them. their thinking is that if its not marked as a park, it cant have rails, boxes, or jumps. give them a call, if enough people bug them about it, maybe we'll get something.

They are some awesome cookies!

It was nice being on snow today, even though it took me a run or two to get out of carpet mode. I did not see KT or Justo, but someone told me what happened... that sucks!

PASR ----- www.paskiandride.com rocks!! more than half of our group was there we had 17 members there at one point or antoher. I think I saw a lonely crew there, CB next weekend if BC is open OK? CB had huuuuuuuge piles of snow in their park as I type right now, we got 3 inches last night and 5 more forecasted tonight and who know how much for early monday morning. I am not promoting CB other than to say they are notching it up level this year, it may still be lame... but the indication are.... I will know more tomorrow.

Talk at Blue is that they are trying to have a park opened by this coming weekend, which also means that the quad will be opened as well. They will definitely have the quad even if there is no park, which would be lame as shit but whatever. Whatup with all the hate in this thread?
