Ok, so I've been given the wonderful task of designing/building/maintaining the park and pipe this winter at Horseshoe. My staff is myself...so bear with me this winter. Some good news and bad news though. The terrain park will be in the same spot for this winter. I'm looking to properly build 2 jumps (with 2 different takeoffs)...but this year it will primarily be a rail park. Right now we have 5 rails, and in the next couple weeks I'm looking to build 5-10 more different features (ie. boxes/log jibs etc...) This isn't much, but if you've seen the hill, you know what I'm working with. The good news is that next year the back section (near Ch. 5) is being built higher. They are putting a new chair in there and the whole format of the terrain park will change....with the possibility of a superpipe going in along the side of the terrain park (I will ask for the handle tow to be put in beside the new pipe). So in the end, this year will probably suck (to some extent)...but next year is looking 300% better. Any ideas on features will be taken into consideration for sure.

sounds good :)

I'll be there about 5 or 6 times this winter. Sounds better than last year, so im happy!

suggestions:
-You could build a quarterpipe on the corner of Ponytail (i think) where it curves up.
-Build jumps further down the hill than last year. You couldn't get any speed (not that you needed it for those size jumps anyway)

yep..im done...see you at horseshoe! good luck! :)

Yea sounds better then last year for sure. Please make real table tops, last year the ones werent even worth riding over. If you could make this happen i would be happy. Also possible getting a crew together to work on the park during the day. Just to make sure the landings dont get holes which are 2 feet deep. I understand that it all cant happen, but i think these things are most important.

Hips? You're cut off from talking foo'. Look at the fucking hill. Honestly, lets be fucking realistic the hill is too small for descent boxes. We can lie to ourselves and have a shitty park where no one has fun/learns anything or we can make a sick park. Don't build any tables man they just waste space. There is absoultuley no way to get enough speed and its so flat it will just be retarted. instead hook up a sick jib park. Make lines, Like have the rails flow with picnic table and other things to manual inbetween. Also I'd put more effort into the grooming of the pipe. It was fucking terrible last year. If I deck out once more someone gonna be biting a curb
