BorchmoreThis isn't necessarily BMBW related, but this thread is usually pretty helpful so I figured I'd post it here. I'm planning a ski trip to either Peek n Peak or Holiday Valley on the 4th; which do you guys think would be the better choice? Of course Holiday Valley is much larger, but I doubt they'll have all their trails open when I go. Any advice?

The.Fishthe news just said bmbw isnt opening this weekend. Josh boyd flopped once again.
SkierFromOhioPeople on instagram are going crazy
The.FishIt was worse last year. Snow trails was open and people were outraged. I'm driving to snow trails tomorrow unless bmbw pulls off a miracle.
SkierFromOhiotbh I am kind of mad that snow trails and mad river are open/opening
The.FishThey have the weather and we don't. It is that simple. I'm going and I am going to have a great time.
SkierFromOhioI'll have to see if I can get a ride to snow trails
RparrDamn, we always get the worst weather at bmbw. I've been out of the loop, how close is bmbw to opening? I want to ski in a few days after I recover from this trip
RparrI've been out of the loop
SkierFromOhioWe all are. BMBW is terrible at customer interaction.
RparrI'm so sick of every facet of bmbw. They need a new park crew, when I was at snow trails the bmbw park crew guys were talking about how they're not even going to the build because it's too early. Like for fucks sake lets get some people who can actually get up for their job in there
The.FishGot the text from ski patrol and nobody is opening today. I don't know why I get my hopes up.

The.FishAlpine valley open 4-9 today
jwvAny idea if they'll have any rails up? I'm probably going just since its on our pass and I'm dying to ski.
RparrI doubt it, what I saw on Facebook said one run and one lift
The.FishThere will be a park according to alpine valley
The.FishThey had 1 okay flat bar, a meh flat down box, and 2 stupid 5 ft long boxes. I learned how to slide a metal rail and pedal today!!! Im so excited!!!
RparrAwesome! It's so much easier with legit features, hopefully bw will have some decent stuff up my the weekend

The.FishOh and also we can't be hating on josh boyd this year. He is working his butt off. Yesterday the whole time he was setting up snow guns and doing intense manual labor. I feel the snow making crews are understaffed which may be a reason they aren't open.
RparrGlad to hear he's working hard. Now if they would actually pay park crew... Most of park crew is volunteer status and they wonder why it's so bad
The.FishIt's under the job application list so idk why they wouldn't get paid. I was half tempted to do it but i have no upper body strength and don't like physical labor like that. I don't mind shoveling but i feel the rails would be a pain to put in. I am glad that I didn't do it. Oh also Josh was the park crew yesterday along with 2 lift operators... He was shoveling in the rail and boxes when i got there about 30 minutes early.
The.FishMy friend works rentals at bw and said park crew doesnt even start working till tomorrow so they werent even assigned to build the two opening parks.
The.FishBM OPENS TODAY AND BW TBD TOMORROW!!!
BrewskiJrAny talk on when a full opening will happen? or more runs at least?
The.FishHey this isnt about bmbw but i went to wax my skis last night and i noticed that my topsheet has huge crack and fiberglass is exposed. Should I plug it up or just ski on it. If I can cough up the money after I build my new pc I am getting new skis asap.
RparrI wouldn't worry about it, one of my skis has exposed fiberglass pretty much all the way down the side. The skis are 4-5 years old and I just skied a week on them in CO. Is the crack on the side or in the middle of the ski?
The.FishIts in the middle but on the tip so technically its the edge
RparrOnly problem I could imagine is slightly more moisture will seep into your ski. You could probably re-seal it. But I have tons of those on the sides of all my skis, I don't think its a huge problem
