Lake Placid Water Ramps

[downhill04]

Does anybody have any info about the water ramps up in Lake Placid? Are they open to the public other than signing up for a camp? If so fees, times available, etc……?

I’ve always wanted to try a water ramp but never pursued it. Now that I am getting older, I don’t have the balls to attempt some of the tricks I was doing 10 years ago. It would be nice to spin a 900 again with out the fear of landing on hard packed snow.

Thanks

I'm sure they'll be some info from skidork the next time he checks out the AZ page, as one of his kids, I believe it was last summer, went to ramp camp at Lake Placid

The ramp camps look like fun but I’m not sure I want to be “the old guy” hitting the jumps with a bunch of fearless teenagers.

actually, powbmps mentioned this to me a while back. I'm trying to work something out for some blackcomb glacier skiing but that is falling apart due to the almost required camp attendance. If that does in fact fall out, i too would like to try this. Chris was going to get back to me with the details once he talked to the woman in charge. I'll make sure one of us post or pm's you the info.

Unlike yourself, i perfected that simple move 20 years ago.

oh hell no. But the the thought of launching off a ramp with little consequence to the legs is rather appealing.

Keep me posted. How cool would it be to set up an AZ outting at the water ramps? I'm sure Grep could put together a sweet vid from that gathering :daff y:
