Pats Peak Skier Invasion

so basically i'm kinda pissed with pats cuz the park crew only has snowboarders on it and only allows snowboarders on it.  the park is somewhat decent but lacking steep landings. talked to park manager and he said theres nothing he's gonna do about it. my idea is to get a shit load of skiers together and lets just lap the park and cut off all the snowboarders we can.  if i can get enough people together for this lets plan a date?

Yeah, I'd be happy to get some more skier friendly features in.  Not sure if prodding the boarders into a rage is the most effective.  I've never gotten kicked out for being a skier, they just make features like the cannon pole with no tranny/ride on only that discriminate ridiculously.  Landings are flat as fuck too, but everyone suffers there.  The rail jam should be open to anyone too.  Get with the times Pats, its no longer called a "snowboarder park".

On a better note, the short boarder with tight pants rips and seems pretty nice too.

Ben ross? he's pretty sick. and nice. talked to him couple times. the main problem is phil the park manager. we should hold our own little rail jam and get some prizes some how. fuck pats peak. they can't stop a whole group of skiers with poles

I went to pats like 2 weeks ago and the park was terrible. the only feature I liked was the flat box. it was a pretty icy day so that might have something to do with it, but i was very not impressed haha

Yeah man, the snowboarders dont want to fix shit for us so lets gang together and piss them off more! Then they will definately help! No, send the higher ups in the resort an email, or have a bunch of skiers/snowboarders keep plugging away at this guy. Talk to the other kids on park crew and let them know whats up. I'm sure you can find a better way to go about it.

yeah i talked to phil the other day. he was asking us how to make the park more skier friendly. i just put out there steeper landings and better lips. he's like "to have steeper landings we need bigger piles of snow". all i was thinking is nahhh dumb ass. just get off your ass and cut them steeper

the jumps are super sketchy, I was up there two weeks ago and I went to hit it the first one and was like nahh that shit will send me back seat for sure. They def cater to the snowboarder there. There are some good little jibs in the glades (I think the hurricane glades).

I don't remember too many jibs in there, maybe a few tree bonks, but that's it.  What I love about trees there are all the mini drops that line up so well.  I was there last wednesday and, with a foot of pow, there was nothing sweeter than a 3 foot stump drop to a mogul you can air of off, to just straighlining the liftline under vortex.  We also hit a drop skier's left off of tornado, definately a 10 foot cliff, but the landing was pretty much to flat.  Good times.  Has anyone hit the wallride yet?  How is it?

pats peak:
cons:
ride on up features
flat landings
Asians / Boston ski party/ overbrook
wall rides that are not kept properly
s box lip that shoots you the wrong way
the entire bottom feature with the wall in the middle
lips that are taller than the gap and have a lot of pop
holes in landings
a "big air" with a 25 and a 30 both shot you way high
rails that are not level
never change the park
parents bringing their beginer kids in the park
very few skiers
Phil grant
no one calls there drop
no one makes the landings and the destroy the knuckle
no park pass
no good prizes for skiers
no skiers in the rail jam
 
pros:
west wind/ twister glade  (you enter at the top of twister and can take it to the top of puff if you want)
rails and boxes slide smoothly once you are on them
have a lift sort of dedicated to the park
i don't ski there much any more

yeah just keep talking to admin.

my solution would be dont go to pats, go to a bigger mountain like snow.  Or even crotched is much more skier friendly

My dada just told me that pat's peak is gonna be used as a testing facility for EMS.  I dont know how that would affect the park, but seems pretty cool since they sponser Meatheads.

I hate when skiers flip out at snowboarders, I am a snowboarder and I have nothing but love for skiers. In fact I ride with more skiers than boarders. I think skiing is dope as is snowboarding so I will talk to this guy everytime I go and ask him to make the park more skier friendly. STOP THE HATE BETWEEN SKIERS AND SNOWBOARDERS!!

it isn't so much that the locals don't get along. all the boarders at pats don't mind me accept the little stuck up faggots. the problem is that there are a lot more boarders at pats than skiers. but thanks for loving us. haha
