Ever been to Stowe?

to all of those hating on my comment. I still stand by it. I don't hate on park. I hate on park rats that only worry about steezy 540's instead of learning how to make carved turns, jump turns, etc.

^shut up now douche. you ever think that park rats just progressed past carve turns and jump turns? I can probably carve switch better than you can carve. Peace. And fuck you.

fuck stowe, ski smuggs

stowe just got owned, its funny how they put up this press release trying to pursuade more youths to go to stowe but now i want to go to stowe less then i did before i read it

stowe has some good glades

smuggs is better you have everything right there by the t-bar bitrches...smuuuugggs

This press release is bullshit. Stowe has little to no commitment to the park and pipe scene, no matter what way the marketing department attempts to swing it. In the words of Stowe management, ‘we don’t care about terrain parks, we care about terrain.’ Any resort that keeps the same 3 rails up for the entire early season, doesn’t get the park open until January and the pipe open until February is not a good place for newschool skiing.

I ski at Stowe for one reason, and one reason only – the lifts access some of the sickest backcountry on the East Coast. If I want to ski any semblance of a park, I got to Sugarbush because they actually care, or I make the two-hour drive to New Hampshire to ski a dope park at Loon.

Ya, that jump for TGR was pretty cool. Too bad it was never open to the public and they plowed it down as soon as TGR was done with it. Additionally, there was NEVER a jump that nice in the poorly maintained park that year. One of my favorite things about Stowe is how come springtime, as the snow melts, the rails get higher and higher. Eventually, they get so high they fall over, and instead of digging them down; instead they just take them out for the season.

There’s a reason Stowe is loosing its share of the youth market, and that is because they just don’t care and it shows. Sure, I will admit the park was slightly better this year than it was in previous years, and the rail jam was pretty fun on Memorial Day, but these are meager steps in the right direction. In reality, other resorts are progressing much more quickly and you are simply so far behind.

For a resort that has 500 million dollars to spend on a new base village, your commitment to the youth market is crap. If one 500th of that money went to the youth market, I would be ecstatic. Mammoth spends 1 million dollars on its park, and it is amazing. However, instead, you are catering to fat old men. Instead of a concrete skate park, we get a golf course. Instead of a slew of dope new rails for the terrain park, we regraded trails on Spurce for the intermediate crowd. Instead of a high speed quad to service the park exclusively, we ride a slow triple while the beginners get a new quad. Instead of using the millions of cubic yards of dirt dug from the new snowmaking pond/water hazard on the golf course for an inground superpipe, you throw it in a field.

Until I see some action from Stowe, here’s what I suggest: take that money you spent putting this press release on newschoolers, and pay someone to fix the enormous bomb holes that form below your rails each early season. Marketing people, I know you’re reading this: instead of wasting your time writing a press release that’s going to be ridiculed on newschoolers.com, sit down with the management at Stowe and tell them what needs to be done.

In the meantime, do me a favor and stay off of newschoolers.com. I hear there are some great advertising opportunities available with SKI magazine. I’m sure the old geezers would be psyched to hear about the fractional ownership opportunities at those ugly new ‘mountain cabins.’

^Well said. And I agree 100%!

of course, those jackasses at stowe forget Ben Grunow.

nailed it ^^^

stowe is the shit

EXTREEEM

^^yea and if someone ever does they should buy smuggs too and connect the mountains, and then burn down all the fucking condos they've been building instead of a new lift to the top of morse that could open almost a whole new mountain

^^^^^ hell yes. right on
