Do any of the Northstar riders here know if they have any big hits up right now? I was thinking of maybe checking it out a day.

 
nothing too big. like 45 at the biggest probably. but they pop you high and they're fun. jibs are def worth your time.

my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.
 
Ok so something similiar to like...the bottom jump at Alpine on Kangaroo? Oh and is the pipe still goin strong? (pipes my favorite) The rails they have on their website look like fun.

 
i might be there sunday if i can get a ride from ^^ so if your there we can role deep.

Northstars jumps suck really really bad. Not one of them compares to anything at alpine. The lips are super crappy and the landings are sketchy, plus they are all small. The jibs are the only sick thing at northstar.

Funny, the entire Line pro team just finished shooting their team shoot there this week. They sure didn't think it sucked. Oh well, what do they know anyhow?

 
The quality of Northstars jumps is not as good as the quality of Alpines jumps. Period. Sometimes Northstar will build a nice jump for a photoshoot and close it to the general public, for example theur superpark last year. But for the most parts the jumps are not as quality as those at Alpine.

For example. The take off on pin-ball are about 8-10 feet across The large hits at Alpine are about atleast 13 feet across and even bigger for the Larger jumps. This is the reason that so many people have filmed on Alpines jumps this years. No doubt the Line team had a good jump build at Northstar, but I'm sure the jibs were a big factor in going there as well seeing as how they spent a large part of their time of some of them.

who care's? they both put you in the air and you cant expect everything to be great 100% of the time. Your a skier not a architect it doesnt have to be perfect. Go ski and have fun and complain in the summer.

i care about the quality of jumps im hitting. i haven't been to n* yet this year so im not bashing their jumps, but jex makes a good point, he has been hitting them, so he can compare them to alpine's jumps. they all do the same thing, but a jump with a bad takeoff and sketchy landing means your more likely to crash, or get hurt. yea were not architects, thats why we dont' build the jumps, but we know what feels right when we hit em, and alpines feel sick, so why not hit good jumps?

 
all im sayin is i like both and N* dont seem that sketch to me but hey doesnt matter.

why is it that CalSkierX annoys more than anyone else ? Does anyone else feel me on that ? "Dip your dong in paint..." ?????? what is that all about.

 
word andy... N*'s jumpa suck ballz!!! and theyhavn't been salting for jibs lately and they haven't cut their pipe in almost 2 weeks....and to think someone dare's argue with me about thier qualtiy. They also cose in 1week so by april 17th it wont matter.

Whatever, when i see something i dont agree with i say something about it, sorry you dont like what i have to say . jex i ment no offense to you I just disagree , nothing more than that.

haha, I dno't care either. I just don't want any kids to pay $60 to go to northstar and expect sick jumps. I mean from time to time the jumps are good for sure. But as of last wednesday the jumps were pretty beat and so was the pipe. I'm sure they fixed it all for this weekend though.

Actually, Rose's jumps were really sick this weekend. They don't have much in the way of jibs tough.

And for N*, I'll be there this weekend, but I'm not expecting much considering they close after this.

 
moonskine has some sick jumps.

its kinda wierd i can ride the jumps at northstar all day and my shins get tired from landiong backseat every once in a while.

but when i go to alpine (aparently the best jumps ever) i land on the landing but backseat and i completely destroyed my shins and toes from one hit.

does that mean alpines landings are flat or hard to judge? and therefor, not good?

some times this site gets me super pissed

oh yeah, i fogot to mention that there are a lot of snowboarders there cuz that really matters.

 
no that means that you should stick to the smaller jumps like the ones at Northstar.

Yes there was a week-long period about 3 weeks back where alpine had some landing that we all felt were a little on the flat side, but they got on it and it was fixed. Non of us riders seem to have a problem with the jumps at Alpine. maybe you wanna look at how you are landing your tricks before you decide to call out a resort and blame it on them. I'm sure if the jumps at northstar were the same size, you'd be haveing the same problem.

I'm starting to get a little shin-bang too. It's probably just a little of both getting tired and the grooming of the jumps.

 
wait, are you talking about the jumps on pinball or moonshine?

moonshie= 40' stepdown, 65' cheese wedge, 40' step down, and a huge hip

pinball= ton of pussy ass jumps. ...and sick jibs

 
i cant stand n* its too crowded, too expensive, and if you ever want to leave the park... there is nowhere to go... thats why i ski at alpine

 
N* is just GaperFest the entire season. The parking lot is full of minivans and mercedes during sorms. Its like the flocking ground for 85% of the bay area. It only took me one day going there this season, taking that stupid ass gondola or chair to get to the mountain, going to a park filled with gaper ass snowboarders, waiting in lift lines the whole day, and waiting in traffic surrounded by gay area families driving back to income village to sleep.

ok I feel better now.

dont get me wrong tho I thank god for northatar if it wernt there then only god knows where they would be going instead

(sarcasm meter 10)

 
Just be glad that you are skiing at these other resorts. Some of us bay area kids dont' have enough money/time to get to the other resorts so we have to deal with super crowded parks!

 
I went there a day, had some fun in the park with the jumps on the left it was funny there were soooo many people going down the park on pinball but no one went down the run with the staircase and the three jumps bellow, had it to myself it was nice. Landings were untouched.

 
nick next year we surrisly need to ditch the norfstar passes and instead get alpine and sug'bow. sugarbowl is so close to davis and mack and i had some epiccc big mountain days there this year. between that and alpine's terrain park we'll be flowin.

my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.
 
alpine is betta , and although the jib's at northstar killed it im down for another alpine pass next year . Maybe sugarwood on top if that but the financial aspect comes into play in that scenario.

how much is a sug'bow pass? do you know?

my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.
 
sugarwood pass is like 4hundo i think, just sugbowl is like 300 or sumfin, i don't remember. But seriously Bret, you haven't been at alpine on a pow day, the place has at least as much if not more sick shit than sugarbowl, plus it doesn't get super foggy like sugarbowl does.

yeah dude but sug'bow is super close to davis and it never ever gets wind hold.

We saw and talked Anthony Boronowski at Panda express in Truckee on Saturday night (April 23) And he said they were at Northstar doin some post season shit now that their closed for the season. Sounded cool

 
i was checkin their site after they closed and it looks like there doin some photo shoots. on their web cam they were cuttin the pipe everyday!

maybe for all the videos next year alot of the footy will be at tahoe and you get to see some local hits that you yourself could have maybe hit!
