The.Fish@rparr were you rock skiing down north bowl??? It was on buckeye sports' instagram story.
Rparrhaha I was, the rail jam was so bad that we all decided to ski down croyle. I got into a huge fight with one of Boyd's cronies over it but the ski patrol let me do it because it was impossible to get hurt.
The.FishIve got a meeting with ian the marketing guy next saturday. My friend is really good with coding and computers so he asked josh boyd at open house if we could help with marketing and he said he would be fine but he would have to ask ian.
RparrShit, good luck with that, didn't he give you the run around last time. Also, do you know anything about the fate of the park crew for this year?

The.FishI know nothing about park, but if me and my friend get the job, then we will keep the website updated 3x as much as it is rn. One of my ideas is making a snapchat account because a lot of places have that. Also the twitter gets used like once a month. I never actually got a meeting last year. I want go keep the general public out of the dark as to whats happening, especially in the preseason with snowmaking. Lots of terrible rumors spread.
Rparrdamn, I hope you get it because they really do need some help in that regard. Communication has been shit since the old gm who used to put out gm notes every few days during the season. It's looking like I'll be at bmbw for at least dec and most on jan
The.FishSo I went to Buckeye Sports Center to check out their ski swap and ended up buying brand new rossi s3 skis with griffons for $550 brand new which was a steal. The employee was impressed with my enthusiasm and knowledge of skis and said he would strongly suggest that I think about working there. It sounds way better than working with stoners at bmbw and getting paid minimum wage. Apparently every Saturday we gather in the basement and talk about the industry for 3 hours which sounds interesting. Apparently i get a free pass to bmbw still which was the only attractive part of working for bmbw. Anybody have a reason for me not to work there? Thanks
ColinBa2dude dont do it! buckeye sucks
The.FishIve been talking to the new marketing guy on instagram for a few days and he seems awesome. He said he is gonna do a vlog every few days in the season
RparrIf we open before jan it will be the best season in years by default
The.FishHoliday valley is making snow next week!!!!!
Rparrdamn, maybe they can pull something off by thanksgiving. I'm itching to ski. Seven springs usually does something around then too
The.FishYea seven springs had good temps this weekend too.
Jzammyskier3I'm pretty sure Killington has a park open
The.Fishtake this with a grain of salt but the new marketing guy told me that they are getting new rail features in the mail next week and that "the park guys are pumped about this year so I am not over hyping anything about this." .
Rparrhaha I hear a version of this every year. I'm pretty sure the park crew is an absolute skeleton of what it was when I was in high school. Don't get me wrong, I'll still be around bmbw on and off this year but I've given up having any sort of expectations for them.
The.FishMy parents are screwing me again. Last year they told me no more park. This year they tell me to go get a job. I go get one. I tell them im working 20 hours a week. They tell me its too much time and that i cant work. I already owe them $400 cause i got new skis and goggles. I literally cant even with them. I hope i can get my supervisor to give me less hours but i doubt that will happen.
The.FishMy predictions for midwest resorts near us, holiday valley and seven springs, and maybe pknpk will be open by december 3rd. Mad river has a chance of opening then too if they make snow this weekend (which i doubt it cause its peak resorts). Bmbw is hopeless and will be lucky to open december 10th. They will probably be lucky to open by christmas again. So basically nothing out of the ordinary lol. My first turns will either be at mad river or in colorado which would be really sad.
RparrFor the last 3 years straight, my first turns have been in Colorado/Utah. It's really a bummer when you can't warm up your legs at all before going out west, but it definitely happens. Keep an eye on Springs, last 2 years they've done something over Thanksgiving but I don't hear anything about it this year.
For once I'm not very fixated on opening dates, as I'm a captive prisoner until finals wrap up on the 15th

The.FishHOLIDAY VALLEY OPENS SATURDAY!!!
Rparrthat's pretty expensive for 4 runs open. I think I'll pass
The.FishSome people think they will be able to crunch enough out to open the 11th. I hope so but I think they will open the 16th. I have my money for mad river on the 11th. Its included on the pass this year which is nice.
JzammyHow long would mad river or bw be able to make snow for
RparrHoly shit, I get out of school for the semester on the 15th. It would be miraculous if bmbw could open by then.
Also, I thought I broke my toe a couple days ago, but it is just very sprained. Ski season is saved!
The.FishSnow trails announced they are projected to open on sunday. They are having discounted lift tickets. Pressure is on for the local resorts.
RparrI can't even go considering I've invested so much in my trip out west in a few weeks. But I always love it because you know Josh Boyd feels the heat
pmcon_20Heard they r trying to open by the 16th
pmcon_20Does anyone know how long it takes to get a good base up in these forecasted conditions?
