Dagmar 2011-2012

i know people are excited, so am i. Anyone can use common sense to see that the weather is crap and is why they aren't opening. obviously they will open asap but they don't even know becasue of the weather.

All that snow that was getting blown in that video is almost all gone because of the rain. so it will be some time. and sorry i dont have an exact date
 
Dagmar is pumping snow! they brought out old guns just to make more and quicker!

The only shitty part about the new features is that I heard

"Half of them are coming Dec 20 and the other half 1st week of January."
 
yeah thats kinda what sucks, from what i heard the stair set is coming in the second order too....
 
BIG UPDATE!

You guys might have seen it on Facebook, but the park will be open for sure next weekend and possibly sometime this week!
 
sick, might have to make the trip up, seen as nobody around here seems like there going to be opening anytime soon
 
The plan is that Wednesday is the opening day for the season. So that means that it will be open for the rest of the week and weekend as well. All weather dependent. Now as for hours, I am unsure yet, just keep looking on the Facebook page or the Website. It might just be night time for Wednesday Thursday and Friday but the day might open up. I just haven't heard anything more than that
 
Lakeridge's projected opening date is December 22nd, which is a Thursday. Our plan is just to stockpile our snow, and have a killer park on opening day rather than rush to get open rather than Dagmar. From and economical standpoint, trying to open this early with the projected warm weather is stupid. Yes, I want to ski, so I'm skipping a day of school and driving up to Horseshoe instead.
 
Why are you so bitter towards dag? I've worked at the mar for 4 years now and I love the place to death but I'll be the first guy to admit that proposing a wednesday opening date was insensible. But they were pushing for it because they know that everybody is itching to ride and to get the season going. It was definitely a gamble, and one that didn't work out, but the gamble was for us.

This thread is not supposed to be a competition between resorts, and we get it man you are in support of lakeridge and seem to enjoy putting dagmar down whenever you have the chance. I may be loyal to dagmar but I definitely think Lakeridge is gonna be mad ill this year and no doubt Burke will do a fantastic job with the park, ill definitely come out and check it out a few times this year!

Ontario's skiing community is way to large and passionate for the climate Ontario has, but thats not a bad thing. Unfortunately we all have to deal with the weather and understandably people are going to be a bit edgy and grumpy when there is double digit temps in the forecast for the middle of december.

Nevertheless, lets all take it easy and realize that we are all going to be skiing in the next couple weeks somewhere and it's going to be amazing to get back out there, I don't know about you guys but I've been waiting for this since closing day in march.

Had to get that off my chest.

Hope everyone has a great winter, hope to see some of you guys out there!

ill give DROM a good pole slap for ya, i hope i dont need to though because i hope to be skiing with you then and you can do it yourself
 
good call jarrett

the weather had nothing to do with them pushing back the opening, the amount of snow we have is fine. it was the owners call and she said that she didnt think enough people would show.
 
I totally understand that. And I totally acknowledge the thata I am very bitter towards Dag, but I have some reasoning.

1- I am as pissed about the weather as anyone else. That really doesn't help my overall mood.

2-This is the actual reason why. When I moved here almost exactly a year ago, I hopped into skiing in the area for the first time in January. I had never rode a park before, when I lived in the I learned how to ride on a bunch of homemade rails. I was beyond stoked to ride a real park for the first time in my life, so I got a ride with my gramps up to Dagmar. I mean, I was the new kid on the block, didn't know anyone, so I was just kind of friendly to everyone, but every single person was an absolute asshole to me. It really ruined my whole feeling to ride. Not only that, I got a pair of poles stolen my first night, they were my lucky ones that I had had for three years prior (cheesy, don't even say it) and that really pissed me off. The combination of that, and the whole "I'm better than you.", "You suck." attitude that seems to posess every god damned soul there ruined it for me.

I just started skiing at Lakeridge instead, and everyone was so much more nice. It was amazing to me.

I really have nothing against the park (other than a few flaws that I really dislike, but hey, everywhere has some) other than the fact that no one is inviting there. They weren't welcome.

But basically, disregard most of the shit I say, I'm a flaming asshole.
