is it poppy? and how big is it? I may just try to learn 360s on that one.

If I had to guess I'd say it's at least 30 ft to the sweet spot. It was really nice by bw's standards. I just don't know if it survived the rain yesterday

Do you ever ski with poles? If so try poleplanting your jumps. I do it for every spin I throw above 180 and it really sets me up for a smooth rotation

I'm still probably going to go just to see if anything is even open/finished by then. I've been in a sendy mood lately, I'm ready to send a 9 on the second jump
 
Went to holiday valley for the weekend. I can hit every single rail there now. My confidence for brandywine is super high so im gonna try a bunch of rails there now.
 
Apparently there is a rumor going around that josh is leaving after this year. I am gonna be so excited for when that day comes.

That would be absolutely miraculous

I may have herniated myself in the rail jam yesterday, it's not feeling good today.

Rest up and get better! I heard the landings were piles of rust from the rails. I died when i heard that.

I'm going to HV this weekend. I haven't hit too many rails recently so I need to boost my confidence so I can have a great long weekend

So are we just not getting winter this year? I've been waiting for a Friday with some snow on the ground to head up to BMBW, but it's just been rainy as shit for the last couple weeks. Is it even worth shelling out $30 for a night pass, or should I just stay home and play Final Fantasy? Also, how's Peek n Peak looking?
 
I am going nuts now. I can hit the down up down bar and the really high down shotgun. Im gonna try the dfd tube once the slush comes. It was a little too icy to risk it.

The weather swings so fast that it's either beach style slush or pure ice. I don't think it's worth it.

That thing will buck you to space but it's a right of passage haha. Turns out I don't have a hernia, so I'll be out every day since apparently this is the last weekend of the season possibly

Come tomorrow because I need some peer pressure for the hand rail from the rail jam. I am only doing it for the credit since that thing is super high.

Wait you mean they're not letting you go to snow trails? After buying a pass, that's dumb as fuck lol

Well I haven't bought it yet since they don't go on sale until friday but my mom was fully on board with the idea. I never talk to my dad about skiing because all he does is make me cringe and talk about how bad the season is. I am honestly getting tired of him because he always just makes me mad on purpose for 0 reason. Looks like im stuck at freaking bmbw again. I am so pissed.
 
13788527:The.Fish said:
I am probably gonna go again today because it isn't gonna get cold enough for snowmaking till like 10pm

let me know how icy it is. I'm debating coming at 5
 
Hey guys I am new to the Cleveland area. I have skied at Peekn Peak for the last few years and their parks are really really good. Its a two hour drive and I was thinking about splitting my time between Peek and Boston Mills.Just had a few questions.

Are both mountains good? When you get a pass can you go to both? Are there cheap college ski days ever? How are the parks overall?

Thanks!

Welcome! So if you're used to peek n peak, the parks here will be a step down for sure. There are times when our park is actually pretty nice, but those times are less often that up at Peek n Peak because our weather is shittier for winter, our park crew is much smaller/not as serious as Peek n Peak's, and most of all, our management is notorious for being douchebags. I won't go into it now, but the short of it is that the owner of the chain 'Peak Resorts', which owns dozens of ski resorts (but oddly enough, not Peek n Peak lol) put his son in charge of bmbw, and now the son is the typical guy-who-can-do-no-wrong. A classic case of nepotism. He's really been a bad gm for bmbw, and specifically the park scene here. If you read this thread chronologically, you'll see many of us really don't like the gm.

That said, we still manage to have fun here, and if you live close, its still worth skiing at bmbw. The two facilities are 2 miles away from eachother, and the pass is good at both. Both locations have very similar terrain, but brandywine is where the good park is. They tend not to build a park at boston mills.You'll likely have to make a couple trips if you're itching for bigger/better features.

They definitely do, usually Friday or Saturday nights. They're also usually very crowded nights

i rememeber in early january the whole lot was full and lines were ridiculous. Mid january and later, nights were a ghost town. That was also around when the weather started to be awful so nobody thought they would have snow.
 
Ran into josh today at open house and he doesn't seem too mad at me still. It was only a minute of interaction but he could have easily snapped on me if he wanted to.

The best place in Ohio is aspen ski and board in Columbus imo. They have quite a selection

Bmbw needs to try as hard as some of these other places. Troll has one night or two of snow making and they're setting up a hike park. Bmbw takes like 2 weeks.

BMBW has been at the bottom of the pack for a very long time as far as effort goes. Nothing will change as long as josh Boyd runs this place. In case you didn’t know, josh Boyd is the son of the man who owns peak resorts, a massive company that owns many ski resorts around the east. They’re like a shittier eastern version of vail Corp. josh Boyd is the very definition of nepotism. Josh boyd’s brother was also convicted of using the peak resorts network to ship large quantities of painkillers across the country many years ago. It’s a very shady family

The northern midwest also has a huge park scene. Everybody around us, mad river, bmbw, pknpk, all sort of died. The only resort that still has an amazing park scene is Seven Springs. Pknpk is the best out of the dead people listed but they don't build nearly as much stuff as they used to. If i recall correctly, Brandywine didn't even have a line for a chair on opening day last year which was sad. I miss the gold old days (even just a few years ago) where lift lines were 15 minutes and everybody was just hyped to be out there. Then again, I was a jerry back then and didn't know a fraction of what I know about skiing right now.
