So my mountain is building this self controlled rollercoaster shit thing in the trees. when i noticed it would be like actually on the ski terrain... first thought was this thing is gunna get jibbed up, i dont think i have ever thought of jibbing a roller coaster until now.
here r some pics.

its Blue mountain, my hill has went from 2 min lift lines to 45 min lines (all the lifts are high speed 6pack chairs they still cant keep up) intrawest has moved in and have built houses and condos like no other. the mtn is 10000% commercial. its shit. I knew some crazy shit like this would have been built sooner or later.

oh and heres a pic of the cart thing.

alpine slides are usually only summer, id b kinda surprised if its running in the winter due to liability etc. and I hope they have some sort of rail to keep the carts on if its that high, because people have flipped off the one at stowe and gotten pretty fucked up, and its on ground.

Alpine slides =/= Alpine coaster.


Breck and PC have Alpine Coasters... get the most business in the winter. Run year round.


Alpine slides are only in the winter.


Good luck hitting it... gonna be fenced off fo sho.


Sorry to bust your bubbbbble. =p
