Beech ball hip minus the ball is there as well. If you skip the step and hit the first one just right, it gives enough speed to stomp the second. Ill be there Wednesday but I may be a little late.

didn't feel like starting a new thread so i'm just posting it here, but do you guys think beech is gonna use these cold temps (at least at night) in the upcoming week to blow? seemed like they had a good opportunity last night and just chose not to. i hope they don't take the "let's just ride out the season with what we got" approach b/c the season isn't gonna last much longer at this rate (something i can definitely see them doing since i know they made bank this year and would guess the cost/benefit of blowing might not be that great with less and less tourists thinking about snow). on the other hand, they could really use these cold nights to make for really really good late season conditions if they chose to do so, just not sure if the cost/benefit is enough to warrant them really laying it down. thoughts?

Wish I knew their cost/income numbers. Because that will most likely be what determines how long we have snow. If they start to see weekend number drop off badly, they will shut it down.

I put money on them keeping the guns shut off from now on. They'll just move snow to cover the heavy traffic areas.

This is what I think as well.
I understand the cost approach to saving money, but that also comes with a lack in the service approach, especially as it relates to those that frequent the mountain (like us).
I hope they prove me wrong............

i pretty much agree with you guys, and it sucks b/c it means we are gonna just have a white ribbon of boredom to ride and the park will suck for the rest of the year. at least throw a few guns in there for a night or two here and there so you can shape features properly. ive learned over the years to not hold my breath for anything like that to happen at beech unfortunately.
