What are you talking about? They need a boardercross on Carpenter's Run, that's the spot for it.

X country snowboarding, it's the next big thing...

Why not build one on Prestons Pitch and the snow can be farmed for late season skiing or If it gets snow making on devils fiddle that is another possible option.

I think they usually have a short border cross weeving through part of The Stash.

No boardercross at all on the stash. Would be nice if they had a small blue type course somewhere. A full course like they had on Dreammaker was way too long and difficult anyway for most people to handle. Took up a lot of the trail from what I remember. I guess we can dip into some of the easier sections of the Blue Magic biking trail now and then if needed after a powder day.

Ski the new Ramshead bike trails after a r*in freeze event...boom boardercross with trees!

Stromchaser.....Clearly a skier, we have been riding these bike trails on snowboards for years.

Older trails yes. New flow trail with 87 jumps or whatever it is skiers right of the rams chair does not have enough pitch to ski it without polling. It crosses the fall line through scarecrow, tinman, patsies, low rider, etc. With any fresh snow or sticky on it, you bog down and stop. When it is an icy luge run, you can keep enough speed to propel yourself up and over the jumps and through the berms. The flat trails you speak of below squeeze play only need a little traffic after a big dump to be skiable, the not as flat ones can be damn fine powder runs. All fun skiing.

Keep your assumptions to yourself, you're foolishly uniformed.

Looks like me cutting back to K on an ungroomed interconnect.

Yes I would love a boarder ross, and a public nastar course.

would love a public race course at k to practice gates. don't have any racing experience whatsoever and this being my first year doing the ski bum race and one run a week down highline doesn't cut it. there used to be one on the old grizzly run (now lower dreammaker).

What public?

Liability issues would probably prohibit one.

The public of kzone

What if the early park on mouse run got turned into a border cross? Once the ramshead and bear parks are built the mouse run park is empty and the snow is there so why not make it into a boardercross?
