High staff, I wanted to take the time to first thank you for making some turns and taking the time to listen to some of my (shared) input in regards to the changes at East. Faultline staff have done a great job restructuring the Jumps on Upper Goldrush to allow for less congestion. The Jumps were also very forgiving and allowed for many more skiers and boarders of all levels to enjoy. I think that those of us that enjoy speed and carving will find that the current layout will allow for this approach to riding at East (especially on Goldrush). We also discussed placing wave type hits on the edges of The Canyon run as well as increased visibility of safety tips and the Skiers Responsibility Code to further educate skiers and boarders alike. There were many other topics and ideas we discussed and it was great to hear that Mt. High is in fact, open to suggestion and allowing all of it's guests, the most enjoyable skiing/boarding experience in Southern California. I look forward to seeing what Mt High comes up with next. Keep up the great work!

Mt. High East and Marketing Director Discussion

slopestar replied to slopestar's topic in Southern California

Another point I plan to make is to have mountain Hosts actually on the hill. The few identifiable people I ever see on the mountain are Faultline staff carrying a rake or shovel, a patroller assisting the wounded and a couple jacketed girls supposedly helping at the ticketing areas at West. Kind of like Fin's situation at Keystone( not that the patroller was correct, but safety is not taught to most of the park rats ) there really does need to be a recognizable and approachable face available on the hill to assist in explaining safety, the downhill skier has the right of way, stop on the fringe not in the middle of the run, etc...etc...don't be a tight pants emo skidder with an attitude because you can do a boardslide checker. Sorry, I must be getting old. Hosts were a great asset to the mountain and they were all volunteers! Knowledgeable about things and available to chat, offer advice, whatever.

My thought is exactly that, keep Sundance clear and upper Goldrush clear. everything on Goldrush below the split is fair game. Wave style hits through stampede and the Canyon would help. It is already a natural pipe in the canyon, why not exploit the natural features? We had cat tracks in WA at Crystal that the cat drivers would wedge up hits for us. The hits had more pop and less run out and consequences for the rider or anyone nearby. The take-off's and landings were both visable to the rider and so no suprises...If anything would be left on upper Goldrush, they could have some boardercross type whoops or banks. Anything else? am I on track here? King, are you going to come crash our meeting! You Should!

Mt. High East and Marketing Director Discussion

slopestar posted a topic in Southern California

I have recently been going back and forth regarding Mountain High East resort with the Director of Marketing. I am Happy to say that he has invited me up and picking up the tab this Tuesday to take a few runs and discuss all of the new features that have been added to my personal favorite carving run/s here in So-Cal. He and I will discuss many things and I am inquiring from all of you, any issues or points of discussion about keeping or should I say at this point, converting Mt. High back into a carve friendly place. Any ideas are fair game as I feel he will be open to most any topic. Kudos to John McColly!

Snow Valley?

slopestar replied to rjnakata's topic in Southern California

I really enjoy snow valley except for the extremely old and slow chairs. I think it is carve friendly but a little flat in most areas. The park would be a great place/run for carving if it were not littered with bumps jumps etc...a fun alternative for midweek. Weekends are a zoo..

Hardboots/Softboots Same Day

slopestar replied to hockey2's topic in Carving Central

It is like throwing a switch as mentioned just after ESPI's qoute. Certain conditions for certain boards. I like feeling tight and rigid in the morning when the groomers are good and when I switch to the soft setup I can really let loose. Like going from a longboard to a shortboard (surfing reference ) Or for me when I skate at the skatepark. I have to "flip the switch" to go between fast and flowing through the Bowls VS. lip tricks and grinds. Either way I love both disciplines:biggthump equally when the conditions are right.

Hardboots/Softboots Same Day

slopestar replied to hockey2's topic in Carving Central

I like to ride carving set up in the am for 4-6 runs. I then switch to the softies for crowds and leg burn relief. I am still getting back into the carving boards. I think if I go alone and not with people that I need to stay with, I can spend more time on the plates...my 2 cents...
