Thanks for Joyning me.
Was that 2 years ago?
I still think @JimN had a secret DH career but he threw a race to win a bet from an angry mobster that killed his cat so now his DH bike is stashed at Matty’s house and he rides a fat bike so we all think he’s slow.
I've seen this movie! Jim Wick?

Hi all, as you know, Creek capped their season pass sales just recently. The lines are going to be completely insane this year. We're trying to get them to open for the full day on friday, instead of their usual 1200 start. This will hopefully give some the option of being able to ride on fridays, reducing some of the weekend traffic. Please spread the word and let's get them to open up all day on friday.
Thanks!
Below is what I sent out to some peeps via text.
Have everyone you know, email Mountain Creek, in a push to be open all day Friday. In reality, they are only going to have to start the lift a few hours earlier than they usually do on Friday. This may alleviate some of the weekend park congestion, as a full day of riding on Friday, might tempt people to avoid the weekend....

If they start out with the bang they ended with last year they’ll probably do it. They added Thursday’s to the fall hours for the same reason. I feel like most of the staff is there at 9am anyways.Hi all, as you know, Creek capped their season pass sales just recently. The lines are going to be completely insane this year.

I'm fairly certain that they did not do regular coaching last year, but hopefully it will be back this year. I did the Shaums March camp a few years ago now and a few of the Creek instructor guys assisted with that. Of the bunch, I was really impressed with Jeff (Jeb)...he's a great rider and coach. I'm hopeful that I'll have the chance to work with him on some things this season.
why don't they run 2 lifts? That triple ends in the same spot as the cab
They ran that for the bike park briefly when the cab was being worked on. I'm assuming that the incredible slow-ness of the triple wouldn't reduce the lines enough to make it worth having to staff and run a second lift. But it's a fair question.
I want in on the Mormon team date uphill/downhill day
It is also double the lift operational cost from a utility/maintenance perspective as well as a staffing perspective.

Does the triple lift have hooks for bikes or do you get on while holding your bike?
One big advantage the gondola has (over pretty much all other bike parks that are also ski areas) is they don't really have to do anything to the lift to go from winter to summer use. Plus, the manpower is a lot less - one person monitoring the bottom, another at the top. And neither of them really have to do much, unlike at other parks where two or more attendants are unloading bikes from G-L trays.

The lines at Highland are worse and last year were long even mid-week.
And it tends to be the same thing - people ride Hellion and Cats Paw and not much else. Like at Creek, if you go ride the natural terrain black trails, you'll be alone.
That said, I'm not one to talk - when I go to Thunder Mtn, I spend the majority of my time on Gronk. I just love the better "fun to risk" ratio of a well built blue G-L jump trail.
