ok, not that i'm exactly incharge of the park, but i am a local and know many people who work on the mountain, so i'm not just making this up.
They're moving The Beach to bear mountain where they claim they will devote much more space to terrain parks. I'm thinking this will mean more than one trail. They're saying more hits, rails etc than they've ever had before. Plus a competition spec. superpipe. The smaller park on Timberline at Ram's Head will be tripled in length (thank God!) and have a 1/4 pipe added.
I doubt that they will be open untill about the 7th of nov...and that's if the weather is cooperating. Some of the snowmaking crew doesn't go back untill the 31st...plus a week or so of snowmaking so i'm guessing that if they start blowing next week, they'll be open by about the 7th (weather permitting of course)
Regardless, the season can't start soon enough.
