While i don't quite agree with all of what you said. I do agree that Crystal is Washingtons best option for a bike park....It has the elevation and geography to make work. Flow is essential to make it right and make it for everyone!! It has to be appealing to both beginners and expert levels in order to be succesfull. As Trailhacker said, Snoqualmie is just to steep EVERYWHERE to be a succesfull bike park (financially).fattyfat1 said:anyone been to whistler? snoqualmie doesnt have a chance. theres no vertical drop, no nightlife, no lodging, no tyler klassen standing next to you in the lift line. no sitting two tables over from cedric and anne -caroline in the longhorn drinking beer. no super sick trails. that place is a joke. want to know what it will be like? come to my neck of the woods and ride ski-bowl at mt hood. WHAT A GIANT PIECE OF CRAP THAT PLACE IS! one trail, fun for about an hour. 150 yr. old lifts that take 45 minutes to get to the top for a five minute ride down a rocky, 2" deep dustbowl that takes 5 minutes to clear. nothing but fire road crap! forget snoqualmie, think crystal! think timberline or meadows, think bachelor or baker, forget qualmie!
As far as Skibowl....carefull what you bitch about, when it's gone you be begging for those slow lifts and one decent trail!!!
