fortune

fucking right and u know what someone should buy out fucking fortune and change it for the better we just need some millioniare who cares more about the people then his own selfish needs what a fucker...

TRY EVERYTHING EVEN IF IT MEANS KICKING YOUR OWN ASS
 
Ok unrigged, go nuts, how you gonna buy groomers without cash? and just to play the devils advocate, when dissing the 'millionare who cares only for his own selfish needs'..how much money have you given away recently? how much time have you spent helping others for free? Im no defending fat cat operations liek intrawest, but Fortune is locally owned by 2 brothers that put their heart and soul into it, and make it a great place to ski and work. Sure it could be better, but man, until you actually know what you talking about, shut up. Peace love and SNOW

WE TAKE THESE RISKS NOT TO ESCAPE LIFE, BUT SO THAT LIFE DOES NOT ESCAPE US
 
word, and Fortune brought a shit load of rails down from Mont Sainte Marie so everyone can be pleased. and they're making snow. so everybody keep on prayin for REAL snow.

 
Your all wrong, i think. Apparently D.C and his brother were out measuring length and slope for the pipe and checking out where the best place for the park would be. If all is true fortune should have a some what good park this year. And please dont yell at me telling me that none of this is gonna happen, i get scared when people yell.

u know what FUCK U biatch, and yes i do help people for free, its called volunteering u queer. No1 is asking them to do it for free just to make it better fool. And when u said do something about it, i did i went and got a seasons pass at mont tremblant so u can shove your gay fortune right up your ass.

I ski fortune like 20 times a year. Its a good hill if ya dont wanna go far. Also algonquin students can get lift tickets for 20 bucks.

 
People shoudl calm down a litte, but its true i broke my ankle there, im not usualy the kid who gets hurt iv never broke n abone in my lfie except for this and i dso crayz shit ,,,, why? bcuz the lip had wavy ice patterns on it kinda messed up if your trygin to butter. but whatever i can understand not eveyrhting is perfect , then fortune didint have a splint ? or watever you clal those htings that keep yyour leg straihgt whne its hurt. waetevre i didnt care abotu that either shit happens, but if the contract between the woner gu yand the profit guy is so stupid maybe ( id ont knwo whos power this is within) but maybe some1 should show how stupid it is and explain how its gunna send fortune to hell bcuz it makes no sense to try and put the leats amoutn of mone yinto a ski hill to make money its like suckign and blowing at the same time. i would volunteer to help make a park i wouldnt really ask for cash maaaybbbe a seaosns pass but i dont really want one bcuz the pakr is such intense shit the only time i got ofortune is when its outo f my contorl and i have to. i dont wanna b a rebvel kid but the park last year was ridiculouse, how could you make such a bad bopoter to bad landing? why not make s tep down instead, and i will probably be calling that phoen number and complaining even thoguh i barely care bcuz i dont ski there, and the food isnt over priced the poutine is damn good and thats how much it costs newhere you go no1 gives yo uthat much poutine thats a dman bowl full of food and its damn good. p.s. i would like to help make the park but ill probably b doign that at some other hill so go ask kids to do ti bcuz they would love to

 
Are any of you guys from ottawa.If so we should get a big group together and build a sweet kicker at like moonys bay or something

 
ya u know what if they asked me to i would help build a damn park and for free too, just so other people could ride it AND NOT GET HURT. but yeh fo real, we should go to moneys' bay im all up for that...

TRY EVERYTHING EVEN IF IT MEANS KICKING YOUR OWN ASS

you know... This is the problem. Ski pass' and cafe food isnt the problem. I dont mind going to fortune and paying high prices, all i expect is my monies worth. They cant charge 30 bucks for a day pass, with conditions like icy runs and dug in rails.

To fortune. Get a grip on your marketing. You are going to straight downhill if you dont target everyone. Who skis!!!! Everyone of every age.. Concider that, then concentrate to the gross of the profit. Where it is coming from. I would say for fortune... including snowboarders and skiers.. there will be 30 percent which fall into the park category. That means 30 percent of your clients will be expecting a decent park.. Is Tremblant not a family resort... whats that?? 'IT HAS THE BIGGEST AND BEST PARK IN EASTERN CANADA' thats impossible, a family resort with a park that competes with out west.. You have got to be kidding me right?

by the way fortune. you dont put a park on a bunny hill with little kids... or at least section it off! You either have a park and take it seriously, or dont have a park at all.

As for mt ste marie. Your park can be good, it had very good years.... Take the time to maintain... !! Its not a big deal if you have two rails! or 3! just maintain the box's, rails, and jumps, at least twice a week.

look... Maybe this is a bad idea, but if you guys want to do something about this crappy park deal with fortune... Lets get a patition going, everyone signs for a competitive park. How does that sound? If we can get a good park going, with advanced jibs, then we may have the support from top'o, eq, t and l, that edelweisse and Cascade has.

well what do you say..?

i say good call. fortune just needs a fire under their asses, and maybe theyll listen and figure out what their customers want from them.

well Chris, i totally agree with everything you say. I especially how you pointed out the fact that the 'park' is on the bunny hill, which results in kids getting in the way, etc. I think with the right reinforcement, we might will be able to change the racer dominated ways of fortune, and help make way for the real skiing, newschool.

yeah dude, i rock

 
ya kids are going up to the little jumps on rails full speed and wiping out bad. i was on the lift with bob suderman and he's all are you those guys doing jumps? my son here (who seems to be 5 or 7 years old) is fascinated by those skis that go both ways. it made me laugh.

so last night i was up at fortune, and as i was standing in the lift line i noticed the fortune guys unloading some new rails from a truck and trailer, as well as some boxes. with closer examination i came to the conclusion that it was about a 15 foot flatbar, a 10 ft rainbow, a trap rail (couldnt tell how long), as well as some new square boxes, about 5. Hopefully these new editions will be up and running soon, just thought i would let you know.

they seemed to be, they said fokus on them... and they loked kind of badly set up and they were all closed off! and right underneath the lift on clifford so I couldnt hit them. there was a rainbow rail, a falt, a trap and two boxes set up aso one very sketchily. hey also had their kink setup as a up-flat and the jump on was very sketchy, this rail was on pineault. If they set up those rails better and open it up itll be sweet, and get their rails from last year out as well and they got a good park.

Maybe the kink set up ooposite shittily, because the rails were for the jam.

my friend said he got a peek at a c-box and a trap rail. i dont know how much truth there is in that though.

last wednesday night (jan 28) fortune had the pipe dragon in the parking lot, they had a trap, c, downkink, shotgun-gap-down rail (pure evil I might add. looked sick, the rails are to be skiabble by the 29th. Having skiied as a racer at fortune for years, I recognize the tremendous resources that they have at thier disposal to cater to thier target audience. Now that they are actually getting thier asses in gear, it seems to me that the ottawa scene should get out there and support thier efforts, ie. show them that there is a huge jib-scene, and subsequently encourage more build features. All the sutermans (owners) understand is green, so get out there and support it, dont hike it, when you do that, it hurts all of our causes. Blowing the amount of snow that they need for the pipe isn't cheap, all the chemicals and power that they need for the guns, runs them in the tens of thousands, so it isn't cheap. That said, fortune has some sick patrollers so dont knock them just to shun authority. The dude with the twin tip tele skis kills it. And the reason why fortune's food is soo expensive (and the reason that it's too risky to build a park) is because every weeknight 15 bus loads of jeans wearing, rear-entry rocking, starter coat representing, shit pants little kids get carted in en masse, they jack shit, break shit, and subsequently break themselves. The irresponsibility doesn't lie with the jibbers, in my opinion it lies with the owners! See you on the slopes,

seriously, if fortune gets a pipe, i'm going to go every friggin day possible. i was thinkin fortune would blow balls, but it sounds like they are actually getting their act together for real. what about a jump/jumps? any word or chance for that? that would put it over the top.

 
i showed up at fortune briefly tonight and the c, trap, and kink are up, as well as an up rail-gap-to downrail (kinda sketchy). the moby dick rail is the only one i didnt see up, and im also wondering where the kink box is.

anyhow, they also are in the process of buliding the pipe right now. its beside all the rails at the bottom of pineault, and its progressing nicely. give it a week, maybe a biut longer, and its gonna be ready by the looks of it.

it says on fotrunes sight that itll be in 100 % operation this wednesday, so lets cross our fingers.

Why is Don Vito such a bitch about grapes? Ya, Don vito's a whore about grapes.

 
someone should phone up. i would be long distance to phone there so i am not but someone should. find out if they open it if it will be open for the year. just a thought

 
was fully open today...the middle section of the left wall was sketchy, and the drop in isnt big or high enough in my opinion, but other than that, good pipe.
