 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
How busy it it likely to be? ? I'm off to Blackburn on September 13th to see Arsenal play and thought I might pop in for a slide on the way. Also are their skis any good? I don't really want to take mine to leave them in the back of the car in some Blackburn side street all afternoon.

Quiet.
Ski's never used but they are basic Salomon Carvers, good enough for the fridge though, but every time I've been I've taken my own.
Don't blame you for not wanting to leave them in the back of the car at Ewood, ROUGH

We went for the weekend a couple of weeks ago, very quiet. I was very impressed with the place, apart from the lift support on the right hand lift being too low, enough to hit your head on.

The skis are crap (the boots are worse) but then I'm a snowboarder what do I know?

Second to what Kel, has said, And also in agreement with the surrounding area of Ewood park!!
I've used the ski's once or twice and for an hour or so flutter they'll do the job.
Spyderman, Yeah a little design fault isnt there! with regard to the lift support.... Always wear a helmet not just for skiing! but for lift queue'in!

Thanks all, I think it will depend on whether I can be bothered to get up early enough next Saturday to go there before the football. I'll decide early next week I think.

Spyderman, I believe there are plans to do some work on the lifts soon to get rid of those design faults.

I think they must have planned the lift support height, forgetting about the 50cm of snow they were going to put on. A lump of metal at face level isn't too clever.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

But at least it has 2mm of foam gaffer-taped around it.

I go Sunday mornings 9am and it's always quiet. Each time I have been the lift has broken down at least 4 times in the 1.5hrs and the rubber mats they put out make getting to the lift a pain since you can't skate over them.

You know it makes sense.

Yep certainly agree with that! Also I believe the shallower bottom part of the main slope is going to be steepened at the same time, to be more in line with the rest of the slope gradient.
'Experts' lift has a problem with one of the stop button systems and the poma return guide at the top bull wheel has been seriously bent out of shape by someone not letting go of the poma when reaching the top.
