park city is currently a joke.  We have ZERO natural snow.  Way to ghey to even think about going out right now.  Although I did pick up my pass...but I dont plan on going out till we have at least a flurry.

I ski 100+ per yr...it is bad here right now...2 trails open not worth it at all...just stating the facts.  I can see the resort from my kitchen.  And there is no point in playing human pinball.  I am happy that you are having fun though.

When you get hurt, you'll appreciate skiing a LOT more...I can tell you from experience.  Get out there while you can.

idk what oldskewl is talking about.  PC was only crowded on friday and its totally worth it to hit what they have up.  I had a blast today because any kind of snow is worth riding. That's cool if you wanna sit at home it just makes it more fun for the rest of us who enjoy every aspect of skiing and snowboarding.

sure it makes you "appreciate skiing a LOT" more, but im pretty sure i still like skiing just as much now as when i started. last season was the first time that i was fully back on snow (the year before i was in north carolina, skied twice there and blew my knee for the second time, hte season before that got cut short in january when i blew my knee out at mammoth)...believe me , ive had plenty of downtime to have dreams of being in the whiteroom again. this past season i finally got to do it again, a bunch at that! skiing on an epic day is amazing! epic can totally be left open for interpretation, it might have been epic today for some people on the hill, being able to lap the park on a nice highspeed quad...no hiking anymore right !?! but for me, i have absolutely no desire to go mess around on those things, ill leave it to you. i dont need to get my skiing fix EVERYDAY anymore i guess...just to go up to the hill every so often, hit up some good, quality, runs, grab a beer, sit in the sun, and soak up the whole ambience. whats important with that routine however is to get up there when the snow is at its best. that way you can cut out all those slightly annoying things on the side (flat light, rain, ice, etc). with all of that cut out then you can focus on the joy of skiing way more. skiing in 100% perfect conditions is awesome, and id much rather leave it at that.

its the same with a ton of other things. some people refuse to drink shitty ass beer and stick to micro brews. its all beer in the end, but there is DEFINATELY a difference. same here. if i had a choice of going to pc today, deal wth a huge amount of people all crowded around the rails, icy spots all over the place sicne its manmade, longlines @ the liftl, traffic jams going up and down the mtn etc...or wait a couple days and go skiing on a day wehre i dont have to worry about shit except how i should celebrate the PERFECT couple of runs i just had...id wait. oh snap! what do you know, i did have that oppertunity to go today...but i, along with a bunch of other people who call themselves skiers stayed home.

And it was so not crowded today it was hilarious.

The sketchy early season conditions are a pefect time to get back into the swing of things. The icey, rutted groomers just keep your head in the game and i think it a good time to go back to the basics. It's all about preparing for later in the season so you can rip the epic conditions that much harder. Plus, there's are sorts of cool little side hill hits.

I skied 100+ days in Indiana... why?  Because I like skiing.  It doesn't always have to be epic out.  I know people have their personal preference, and some people only go when it's incredible... but the features that are set up are so much fun.   Living somewhere like Indiana and skiing a 350 vert.  hill with a park a third that size makes you respect it so much more.  The conditions yesterday would have been a pow day at home.  An average of 24 inches of snowfall all winter compared to 500 here.

haha yea seriously, I think Brandywine/boston mills claims to have 240 vertical drop but I'm pretty sure they added up the vertical from both places so it doesn't sound as lame.

no i'm talking alpine man.  bmbw definitely has around 200, or, as they say, 240.  that place is way bigger.

I'll use this thread instead of creating a new one...  There has been vandalism going on up on the hill the last couple nights.  the ropelines down a couple of runs were sliced, i'm missing an entire bundle of bamboo poles and I wouldn't be suprised if someone has been in my shacks, but I haven't looked yet.  If anyone knows who this is, let us know please.

Also, I've been bitched at by almost everyone I ask to not ride first time up to access the park.  It's not a request I just made up off a whim.  If I keep asking you guys not to do it and you continue to do it, we lose the homerun park.  I had a brief meeting and that's what I was told.  Please don't use first time.  I don't care how long the line is for payday, that's the lift that needs to be used to access it for the time being.

Thank You.

Not quite jumps yet, just mounds. I could see the last one being a decent jump, the rest look like they may just be for rails.
