lAST YEAR MID MAY

 

[Ben.]

HOLY FUCK

 

[MT_Mike]

can't fucking wait !!!!!!!!

 

[Shifty540]

WHAT!? Reminds me of Mt. Baker and Hwy 20 here in Washington. Thats fuckin unreal, I wish they offered lift accessed summer skiing here in Washington.

 

[griz_lee]

twice as much snow this year.

 

[jksl]

this website is confusing to me...so is it a camp or can anyone just go and shred?

 

[KjellEllefson]

i used to go to camp up there like 5 years ago when there was a park camp called All Stars Ski Camp

This big mountain camp would be sick because the terrain there is unreal

such a fun place too

 

[griz_lee]

The park and the freerinding is public. The only thing private are the race courses. Its called a camp because various race and freestyle teams come to train in the summer. It was named a camp back in the 60s when it was started and it just hasnt changed.

 

[MC_POUTINE]

for real that sounds sick

 

[pjbauer]

OH MY FUCKIN SHIT thats super dope

 

[Literature]

I'll make it down for a few days I would think.

 

[loveyoursneakers]

What you can ski in Summer in America that's fucking awesome.

 

[elPerin]

Pretty sure its both, they should have it open to the public. + they got sick campin spots on a river.

 

[Ben.]

lol

 

[Billiards.]

Thats ill. Im gonna have to go there on the way to Hood or at least at some point.

 

[MT_Mike]

yah that was gonna be my next question... it would be fun to plan a campin trip up around there to save on driving time to and fro for a weekend ya know? any info on spots? etc.

 

[BootySpunk.]

So are they going to end the only 100 skiers on the mountain at a time rule?

 

[Caveman.]

Rock Creek is a sick place to camp... its on the bottom of the pass. When I was there 3 summers ago we found a house in Red Lodge with 3 bedrooms and a hot tub that rented for $150/night. Camping is probably the best option though.

 

[thelizards]

still confused on the team stuff or going without a team. sounds really dope but also a little sketchy/unreliable(a little harsh but dont know any other words to use)

 

[C_Perin]

it is all public anyone can go and as far as i know you dont need a team to go. there is no limit for the number of skiers aloud on the hill but i could be wrong
it is reliable just kinda a small thing that not to many people know about.
its gunna be legit this year trust me

 

[Caveman.]

When I emailed them a month ago they said there would be a 100 skier limit on the hill.

 

[C_Perin]

why do they do that. 100 is not that many

 

[Willard]

hopefully i can drive down there for a few days with friends still not sure though

 

[Caveman.]

The two pomas get SUPER congested. The good thing is the racers show up really early and leave when it starts to warm up which is when most of the other people show up.

 

[BootySpunk.]

Man I hope I can maybe possibly make it out there this summer. All I need is like a tent, skis, and hot dogs and a shit ton of gas money and the will to drive 24+ hours for a week of epic summer skiing. We will see...

 

[Reed.]

WAY closer than hood from Colorado...only 9 hours... probably gonna go here instead of road trip to oregon. I really want to see pic of the park... I probably wont go until early july but it looks sick.

 

[C_Perin]

we will try and get some pics as it is being created. it will be alomst done by the begining of march. they are busy working on it right now and i will see if pics can happen

 

[skinakedfast]

So are the only dates you can go there the ones marked on the calander ?

or is it all summer long?

 

[Ben.]

im guessing you meant may?

 

[ja.]

march?
Shay said they are opening probably next weekend and hopefully the park will be open the weekend after that. So probably by the first week in June

 

[skiingonskis]

anyone have a confirmed closing date?

 

[Caveman.]

I think they usually close July 4th but I heard this year they may stay open later if weather permits and enough people come and ski.

 

[C_Perin]

sorry i meant june

 

[Peter.]

they have more snow in may then CNY had in january

 

[Hooper]

is beartooth any good? or should i drive to hood instead?

im in vancouver but blackcombs public summer park isnt the best...

 

[Big_Spence]

Okay, someone give me an informed opinion.
T-Line vs. Blackcomb vs. Beartooth
I've skied Timberline in the summer, but never these others. What's the best overall? Taking everything into affect:
Skiing, camping, things to do after skiing, ect.

 

[Caveman.]

I can give you a second hand informed opinion from a kid I know who has been to all three. He told me that the skiing at Beartooth blew the others out of the water but TImberline and Whistler both have better parks. Sounds like this year the park could be pretty damn good though.

This isn't lift accessible, but its a short hike from the road and in the same area:

This is what the lift accessed looks like late in the summer after they close:

There is some dope lift accessible terrain especially if you are willing to hike (the hourglass)

Here is a really old video that was shot up there. This year's park should be way better:

 

[Caveman.]

This is lift accessible and requires a small amount of traversing and probably 15-30 minutes of uphill travel back to the lifts

 

[garygohard]

[griz_lee]

[Caveman.]

Sure they're not AT boots?
