CLIFFS at Northstar?!!!? The StASh

[shralpingthegnar]

Anybody know more about what kind of rocks they actually built? I've seen some photos of sick log rides they made and a cabin, but I keep hearing that there is going to be some drops? Anybody on here work on that stuff this summer?

 

[C.J.]

^nope, but they had a little article about it in the new burton catalog.

 

[The_Oakley_Kid]

there was already a thread on it, kid named 9TH_SPHOR had all the info on it

 

[tahoearmada20]

dont get too excited the "cliffs" are just piles of haybales that after it snows will create some rollover type of drops

 

[jibtastic]

intense.

They also got an interview with Jake Burton on their homepage

^that is very sick. alpine should do shit like that.

 

[tahoearmada20]

the road gap and the tree stall look sick!

here is another link i found:

It's dope. They've got a map of all of the features. I hope we have enough snow for the December 15th opening!

What happens when there is a ten foot base? Looks like alot of the shit is gonna be buried.

 

[C.J.]

It wont get to 10 feet around the rails, I dont think. And as for the drops the lip would judt be 10' higher. The tree jib on the other hand, you could probably say good bye to.

i should have gotten a northstar pass. where is it, on the back side?

 

[stinkypoodangle]

looks dangerous to be logging at a ski area. poor decisions by northstar in my opinion.

 

[nohajs]

Ya, our snow cliff was sicker than a pile of logs. The gap was at least that size and the takeoff was way taller.

I do like the log jibs though.

I'm also wondering how they are going to jib that house?

 

[The_Oakley_Kid]

all thats going to happen with that house is that I, along with every other kid up there, will be smoking in it all day

 

[The_Oakley_Kid]

or you could just jib the roof, stall style

 

[stinkypoodangle]

hahaha you think they will allow peeps in it? that would be sick if they do.

 

[woodwardtahoe]

it will be open...it's a memorial to Craig Kelly and it's going to have a ton of historic stuff from his career.

 

[VC]

Why is it dangerous to be "logging" at a ski area?

 

[K.C.Deane]

whatever, AMs cliff drop last year was way sick, now it just needs to be about 10 feet taller. theirs was in Skimatic in bibby s sections

 

[stinkypoodangle]

are you kidding? all of that heavy machinery and falling trees! sounds pretty dangerous to me to be skiing through a forest of falling trees.....

 

[tahoearmada20]

the painting inside the shack is sick...

"Tribute to Craig Kelly"

 

[Prorider2themax]

he was joking daw

thats cool that craig kelly gets a memorial is it burton and northstar that are sponsoring it or just northstar

 

[VC]

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be felling trees when there are skiers in the area. All the work was done this summer, when there was no one on the mountain. So I really don't understand why its dangerous

 

[C.J.]

or snow. Yeah I don't get how its dangerous either.

 

[stinkypoodangle]

i heard that they are going to have something called the gauntlet, and they will be falling trees, there is going to be dwarfs with bows and arrows shooting at you, and siberian snow tigers that haven't been fed for a week on the loose. whoever makes to mid mountain lodge wins the prize aka the stash!!!
