robs right ive watch the place grow since i first learned to ski, just need to see what others moutians are doing and see what their doing right
and i know its a strech but in the future the park should be expanded to elliot, it basically an unused trail, and its right there
And i think i the short up on the trap with semi long flat/ long down is what i sent u a pic of and hopefully you'll find out where it is b/c it would be a sick rail to have.
I haven't been able to finalize an opening day jib park, I'm working on it though.
Also, we have solved the tree jib issue so we should have one this year, hopefully it works out well.
one other thing
like when you look up the hill on the right?
an i agree we NEED a jump line
wider lips and steeper landings too. Bobbys right too the "big air" jump from 2 years ago was awesome do more double jumps like that this year!
the S rail should prob be like right in the middle somewhere would be the best bet since it need to be somwhere pretty flat
the C box would be sweet if you could hit it from both sides like i remember it was a long time ago
um deff bring back the mail box and just keep the park chock full'o features.
I know you guys are gonna really step it up this year and do some real sweet things
the Ns'ers rails should be sweet too.
Maybe you guys should have a photoshoot like the did a few years back and make a sweet setup.
I'd really love to ride this weekend but it really all depends on if some features will be up. Since i would be coming all the way from CT.
Im sure you guys will be able to pull it off with snowmaking temps at night later in the week
Im soooo stoked especially after a solid weekend at killy which had a sick park
they had a sweet cannon rail kinda similar to the up rail from the rail jam except it was much wider
it would be sweet if you guys did somthing like they had with a sweet up rail sharing a landing with a jump. it would save room and waste less snow
heres what killy did they had the jump to the left

Subject: Ideas / Suggestions
Give us ideas that you would like to see in the park. Rail setups, creating better lines, changing transitions, and anything else that might make the park more enjoyable.

I'll start off by saying there will be no half-pipe this year. There may be a quarter-pipe in the usual location but the pipe area will turn into rails, jumps, etc.
Post what you would like to see for next year. We already have some ideas and have some new rails on the way already.

Mount Sunapee(http://www.mountsunapee.com)
boxes that you have a alot of options with like a flatdown box like 10 feet flat 20 down with an urban lip on the down would be gnar,
deff do an uprail again next year
more jumps like the last one bedfore the rainbow, that way you dont have to bomb it to just miss casing it
I agree with the uprail. Are we talkin railjam up rail or the one that was setup under the c-box for most the season? I guess would you rather have the shorter or longer up rail?
Now with the pipe gone, we are able to split the two trails into a intermediate and expert, which hopefully will keep the joeys out of the expert side so no one gets snaked and allow us to do some rail gaps.
Also the bottom of the park had to stay at an intermediate level so everyone could use it, but now with the ice taco gone we will use that area for an expert zone hopefully. We don't know what's going there though but the space allows for either a few kickers or a rail yard. Personally, I would like to turn that section into a hardcore urban setup with stairs and piles of rails maybe some picnic tables, something you could session if you wanted. We're just throwing around ideas so if you talk with anyone have them post their ideas.
We are working with some local companies to raise the cash prizes for the comps too. Hopefully that will work out.

jumps, bigger ones, the big air jump this year was very fun but i understand if thats to hard to maintain all year (props to who ever built that btw)
but a large jump line would be very very nice, with steeper longer landiings, i know our park is flat and not that long to have a killer line but a kid can dream
a barrel jib would be fun to

- strait chillin'
It would be pretty sick to have a top to bottom jump line. The problem with making huge jumps like the big air, is there is always someone who tries to hit it, panics at the last second, tries to bail, and injuries themselves. That's why we had to rope it off unless there was someone who wanted to hit it, that we knew was capable.
A jump line might be too long top to bottom, but maybe start it where the 50ft rail was this year and continue it to the lift. We could probably get three good jumps in that spot.
I agree, barrel jib is much needed. I'm going to put in a request for one of those heavy blue plastic 55gallon drums. Keep your fingers crossed.

well if there was a jump line made correctly where you dont have to haul balls and the jumps start small and increasingly get bigger then u should be set
if sunapee gets on their game and makes stuff correctly and with quality and puts as much effort in the entire park as they do on jams then it will be prime
needs wide lips too on the jump and longer landings
plus urban shit needs to be REAL URBAN forreal yo

yea what would be perfect is a lip as wide as the big air on a jump the size of the last 2 hits on the side of the rainbow
and robs right urban lips are a necessity, no urban lips on to down stuff where you cant see the rail is super sketchy
the log jib this year was a good idea, but should have been setup so it was vertical

well no keep the jumps a fun distance tho like 30-40-50 feet but use flow in it
like so someone doesnt have to tuck from the top for something, make is so the momemetum is carried from the 30 to the 40 to the 50 thats way less sketchy and alot more fun
rails are set up fine jus need legit urbans and the rails need to be lengthend
other than that sunapee is doing a super job on their stuff
sunapee is getting a better rep for their shit so lets see a bomb park this season cuz a good park will def bring in more money to the mountain jus look at waterville and loon both amazing parks and mountains too
jus take note on their stuff and try your best to apply it to our stuff and its alll good

as in 2 20' ft t rails you mean like the lil jibs up top but longer, or like t boxes?
its deff sounding good already

Long t-style. They aren't like the 2x4 flat rails we had up top. They look like the rainbow rail we have...only its a 20ft flat instead.

FYI - I'm working with John and Alan (Mtn. Ops) to get some metal out in the park earlier this season. It'll be a hiker but I know a lot of you were asking for that early last year.
Mount Sunapee(http://www.mountsunapee.com)
that would be legit
like if youve only got snow by the quad throw up some jibs like you did 06-07 at least so theres something there
like if youve only got snow by the quad throw up some jibs like you did 06-07 at least so theres something there
bunch of good ideas mentioned so far and its dope to see you guys asking for advice
definitely focus on flow, jumps keep gettin a lil better each year and we have some pretty legit jibs now. The flows usually lacking a lil. good setup and there's potential forsure
big plus would be a mellow 30-40 ft, four jump line. usually there's a 2 jump line on the chair right thats mad far apart.
the small landingbuiltintothejumpthings on the upper chair left were pretty um silly? I understand beginner but 5,10,15ft is ok? the two jumps and the few boxes on that side were too far apart to have a good flow
no half pipe is pretty sweet and alot of people are stoked on that. It'd be nice to see the qp back in its old spot. Spring time everyone used to session that. When its in the trees, there's no sun, it doesn't soften up, and no one hits it ya know? plus people lay off the wall in the spring cause it melts out too much. maybe move the wall up the hill or somewhere new?
rail gardens are chill but it'd be nice to see stuff setup in a line instead of 3 or 4 across. the wide rail platforms are sick and everyone likes wide landings off rails but it'd be dope to get 10-15 jibs in a run instead of 5-10
the up coffin box to flat landing was kinda silly this year. coffin box as a down disaster is ill. maybe a lil more gap on and a nice landing off and that would definitely be legit
i dont know much about grooming but usually there's massive bomb holes after some of the boxes. Usually its cause the landing doesn't line up with the box. they're set up so you case the knoll and then the landings every so slightly too far away. if you move the landings closer i dont think the bombholes would be as killer
we got a bunch of legit jibs now so if they're set up well and friendly there's a bunch of potential
up rail suggestion's legit, they're fun but deffinitely use a longer one if it could be worked into a line
put the s rail up this year?
Stoked for this year. should be dope. every year keeps gettin a lil better

It's always good to hear from you on what we have nailed down and what we need to fix.
The s-rail is back in business and got a facelift, and the a-frame that didn't come out last year will make it's appearance. All the advice you guys have given is awesome so thanks, and keep it coming.
I totally agree on flow, and I think without the half-pipe it will make it a lot easier to accomplish that especially for a jumpline.
The quarter pipe will be back and hopefully we can either move it to the other side, or bring it further up the hill, maybe next the that last bunch of trees.
We also want to bring in a few small jibs to play on; barrels and such.
What I would like is to get everyone's opinion on the wall ride. There's a lot of potential if we can position it correctly to allow for an up butterbox. I just think where it was last year wasn't very useful and I saw more people poping 3's off of the side then I saw people actually hitting it. We've already got a few really good ideas for it so keep em coming. Not to mention just talking about it gets my pumped!

The wall ride has potential for sure.
did you ride okemo at all last year? they had a dope little wallride at the bottom of the rope tow park. If you built something similar on a much larger scale that would be SICK
The wall was mellower so it was easier to slide, stall, and spin. Also the lip went up a full groomer width on both sides to the top of the coping. Super easy to carve in and slide across the wall and made for a smooth tranny. They had a small snow deck on top like 3-5ft and then a big landing down so you could air off the snow lips on either side or boost off the wall. Tons of different ways to hit it
kinda looked like this

heres what bobby was talkin bout
other things u could do with what you have
all taken from okemo and it can be done with stuff we already have easily , like the tree jib is a joke to build all you do i build snow up to it and cut off the limbs around it and there you go you have a tree jib
at least it gives you variety

basically have all the features possible out there with gettin to cramped but dont just replace the mailbox with some shitty spine to be honest the mailbox is much more fun than the spine i think we could do so much cooler stuff with that snow rather than build a mile long spine like last year
its just all about how you set the feature up, like last year, were you put the tire? that lip got so icey and it was so steap. we just need to take the extrem down a little on features like that, makes it alot lessy frightning
- strait chillin'
I never got a chance to get to Okemo, 6 days a week here pretty much means I don't get out much. I love that idea of the wallride set in the jump and we def. need to do that this year and I think it will fly because it give the option of how you want to hit it. WE could move the tire and put it on one of the sides too.
Yeah the mailbox will probably remain the same and I think the tree spine needs to go. I'd like to stick it in the ground and make it an up so you could launch off it with a transition on the other side.
I gotta get john in on this convo.

more table tops, maybe some gaps, maybe a tree or log jib
do we still have the old trap rail that was a stupid steep short up, medium flat, long down? If we still have that jibit'd be SICK to cut/ weld off the up and set it up as a flat down rail. I'd make a quality flat down somethin we're lacking right now.
also i was readin through. I understand blocking off the step down this year but big jumps are nice and should be open when possible. Step over style tables are a good way to make lofty big jumps that aren't too scary. Also, step overs allow for a longer steeper landings
Sunapee's jump lips need to be wider. the first hit top left this year had a good lip. When possible its nice to have the lip 2+ groomer widths wide
Although the first hit top left had a dope lip this year, it was further up the hill than usual. snow and speed was an issue. I mean you could always pump the rollers, but i'd rather butter and jib the rollers and then casually cruise into the first hit.
Just an idea but it'd be sick to see the first hit as a 25ft hip like table. Keep the landing facing downhill but have the lip kinda crooked and lined up with the rollers. You wouldn't loose as much speed carving into the lip plus it'd add a lil variety to the jumps
oh and keep the rollers they're fun

word killy had somthing like that early season with the hip-ish table, and the inrun didnt require much speed but with the landing set up nicely it gave you speed for the next hit.

And i think i the short up on the trap with semi long flat/ long down is what i sent u a pic of and hopefully you'll find out where it is b/c it would be a sick rail to have.
i totally agree with the addition of more lip-ige, if i had one issue abou the jumps it was i felt like i was hauling ass into a super long hit, and not getting any loft. meaning there was more out than up, and in most cases i think we need jump we can get some height off of.
steeper in runs + more lip + steep and wider landings = a good fun time
i would rather have two mega poppy hits when 5 jumps that bummed me out
steeper in runs + more lip + steep and wider landings = a good fun time

i agree with the tree jib and tire jib completely. one thought tho. its always sick when its a steepish lip up to the tire (steeper then okemos) it'll let people who are able to things like hand drags stalls and spin a bit bigger. and another thought is a butter brick. waterville had one late last year and it was awesome. fun for the hardcore park rats and a good way for noobs to get used to smallish gaps

Yeah that thing is like the holy grail to some of the long time employees here. It was one of the original gondolas that was used on north peak.
I found that out when I asked someone about using it for a jib. The guy grabbed his heart and almost died. so yeah, that's a no go....

So
we are going to have a tree jib this year. It'll stick out about 6
vertical feet from the take off so there should be plenty of options
either tapping it or hand plants...whatever.
have you guys thought about cutting off the metal piece sticking up on the rainbow? at the end there's a piece of sheet metal that sticks up higher than the box. Its hacked up so you can tell it gets in the way
It broke like 4 inches of of edge and ripped the core out of my ski out last year. The rainbows a dope feature but its funny that everyone knows you need to pop off early to avoid the end.

put a money booter on skiiers right where the snail box was set up for most of last year, that's a nice pitch for a drop in to get speed, and you could follow it up with another jump, and perhaps another, that would be baller. I dont know about rails, i feel like there are enough of them to make the park flow well on skiiers left. also make some kind of area for the casual family to funnel into... or we could just have park passes

word up to what wes said. Wawa is loaded with gapers and they have a park pass for the big park.

Back in the day when the two big jumps were on the right it was probably the easiest its every been to get speed. a Big 3 jump line on the upper left would be sick and a rail line down the left side would be sweet as well

like when you look up the hill on the right?
an i agree we NEED a jump line
wider lips and steeper landings too. Bobbys right too the "big air" jump from 2 years ago was awesome do more double jumps like that this year!
skiers right. top of the park

i think the least you can do is have one really lofty 40 footer, nice poppy lip, nice ling steep landing. i think nicer lips is what we need to work on, ones that will just launch you.
then a big step up. i miss our step up.
so just a nice lofty 40 to a big step up is the least you could do
and i loved the big air this year. its helpful to have such big jumps like that, so when we go to other mountains dont shit our selves when all the jumps are that big
- strait chillin'
here solve the space and steepness problem.... put a slopestyle course on elliot... DUH its the most unused trail in NH
john and I were able to get some riding in on friday and the plan is to put the big air at the bottom on skiers left. before that, will be tiers of jumps, a double jump with a 35 and 45 or something like that will be in the central area. skiers right will have a lot of the rails. so one side is jumps and the other will be rails. each will have elements of both like we may setup the double kink on the left right at the top as a permanent feature if you guys dig it. the right will have a few poppers. The s-rail isn't decide het, what do you think for a location?
thats the general idea this year, johns been busy making snow. they were blasting infront ofthe hq last night and shut off the guns around 9am. We got a good couple inches at the base tonight.
anyone been out yet?

Haven't been to sunapee yet this season. Will be there the 13th or 14th as my first day there. It sucks being so far away from the mountains as I'm in college in Syracuse (SU). Can't wait to ski mt sunapee, any idea if there will be stuff by the 13th?
I love elliot slope. No one skis it, which makes it amazing on a pow day, fresh tracks all day long.

it all sounds good just make i would make the beginner jumps some tables like a 10 then 15 ft'er none of those silly 5 footers like the second jump on the right side when heading up the lift should be the smallest. and if you do a small like 5ft'r again dont waste so much space with it maybe put it on that little knowl before where the battlebox was.john and I were able to get some riding in on friday and the plan is to put the big air at the bottom on skiers left. before that, will be tiers of jumps, a double jump with a 35 and 45 or something like that will be in the central area. skiers right will have a lot of the rails. so one side is jumps and the other will be rails. each will have elements of both like we may setup the double kink on the left right at the top as a permanent feature if you guys dig it. the right will have a few poppers.

the S rail should prob be like right in the middle somewhere would be the best bet since it need to be somwhere pretty flat
the C box would be sweet if you could hit it from both sides like i remember it was a long time ago
um deff bring back the mail box and just keep the park chock full'o features.
I know you guys are gonna really step it up this year and do some real sweet things
the Ns'ers rails should be sweet too.
Maybe you guys should have a photoshoot like the did a few years back and make a sweet setup.
I'd really love to ride this weekend but it really all depends on if some features will be up. Since i would be coming all the way from CT.
Im sure you guys will be able to pull it off with snowmaking temps at night later in the week
Im soooo stoked especially after a solid weekend at killy which had a sick park
they had a sweet cannon rail kinda similar to the up rail from the rail jam except it was much wider
it would be sweet if you guys did somthing like they had with a sweet up rail sharing a landing with a jump. it would save room and waste less snow
heres what killy did they had the jump to the left
;)

That's pretty sweet, I'll mention it to the park crew. We lugged all the metal up the hill a few days ago and snowmaking has been good te past few days. It's looking like this weekend we won't have anything setup, which is pretty lame, but the snowmaking temps earlier this week just weren't low enough to really throw some snow. Last night we maxed out the system so we've had a few good das and nights of snowmaking. It's looking like the 13 and 14 we'll have something in the park to session. If base temps stay low at night we are going to focus on the North and Spruce peaks. I'll keep you posted through the week.
