Actually Blue Mountain's superpipe has been open since last Saturday and its gonna be in prime condition for this weekend's NS party!

I'm glad to see everyone out east is able to take advantage of the low temps too. How is Okemo's park?

the park was fun last weekend, they had a ton of features, couple rails, alot of the tables were small and not too much kick to them. but they had two hips which were sick, the one at the bottom was about 50+ feet and kicked you way up there

I think you've never heard of blue because 1) it's Canadian. 2) it's not really east coast skiing by your standards. it closer to midwest skiing than it is to Appalacian skiing.

Blue's pipe was about 19ft opening day I think.

maybe it was the lack of transition or the lack of flat bottom but i think okemos pipe is too big......maybe its because im a big pussy but i saw nobody go higher than 6 feet out of it including chris mitchel a kid whos boosted nearly 20 feet out of the 15 foot smuggs pipe. so yea i think pipes might be getting too big.


-jon, skiing the ice so the other half of the country doesnt have to.

18ft............no. 15 ft.........yes. it is no larger than that height.measure it if you would like..... and by no means does each pass of the zaugg make it larger, just smoother and wider.


and stratton,my brother is a park ranger and says it is 16ft, and no flatbottom, similar to okemo. they will eventually be rebuilding it 18-20 ft tall.

alright got to low down on the pipe and park scene, first off the pipe is 18 ft. walls, it won't be cut to 22' because the pipe manager said t's too big even though they have the capabilities w/ the ZAugg, they'll make a 22' quarter when they get enough snow piled up at the bottom of the pipe, the pipe is skiiny because every time they groom it, it'll get wider, making it a perfect pipe around january. As for the park, it's nice and they have a down kink rail and a flat 30' shotgun to put up, they look nice. come up dec. 27th for their 1st pipe comp $15 to enter
