I think their big thing this year is summer grooming of the Gem, Bullet and a bunch of other places on the mountain.  There is a bunch of info on their website.  At least they are doing this while there is no snow on the ground, unlike last year when they were cutting shrubs down 2 weeks after the season was supposed to begin!  Some snowmaking on the main arteries of the hill would be nice incase of a slow start....Serwa's, Sun Run...

doubtful that theres gonna be anything that we're actually gonna notice...


anyone else agree with me here that Chateau Blanc is by far the shittiest name they coulda named that thing? like comeon, the loose moose was a better name back in its day...its just terrible...

Come on Pat.... I was trying to be positive.  But if you want to play the negative game you should see how mangled the rails got when we were pulling them out on the last day of the season.  Im sure the park will look much the same as last year as well!  Hahah.  Anyone have any info. on the Kelowna mtn. and their situation? Ive heard they were supposed to open up this season...........but I also heard that last year as well.

That would be correct.... All their park features are just sitting in the parking lot if you ever want to take a look. 

Here is the website.. http://kelownamountain.com/home.htm

haha yah...i can just see FAILURE.... good idea...but the snow is so unpredictable there. some years we don't even get any snow in kelowna..


as for big white...i think a good improvement would be a major overhauling of the management

Good Good i see Franzi and my seeds of negativity have blossomed into full harvest!!!!!! anyways this season will be alright i guess PT keep up the solid work in the park and rest is what it is. as for the K-town mount. they have some nice rails set up at the corrner of lakeshore and gillard last time i was up there so i'll keep you all posted as the MTB season comes to a close. but we should try and set up a big sesh first good snow fall and get all the bw kids together or somthing

Oh, unfortunately I won't be working up there this winter.  I can take the physical punch to the wallet this year.  Its about time I got a real job anyways.  Ill still be up there skiing and heckling the shit out of people... Flynn did tell me I was the most negative person he had ever met.....hahahaha....
