Wild might be open as soon as Wed the 16th. I might even get some rails out on the bunny hill late afternoon. Don't know when we will offically open or the hours just yet, but I will post them soon. I will update again on Tues for exact info.

How come last weekend it was about 10 snowboard fuckers only grooming shit for themselves and making other kids (paying customers) fix the shit when they mess it up "stop trying your fucking 270 on, you're wrecking the lip". Yeah, fuck you that's your fucking job. I won't be at wild after have a nice long talk with Matt at afton. Afton has a TON of really nice new shit. 5 parks, countless rails and boxes, I caught a glimpse of about a 25-30' rainbow box in the shop. As of wednesday he still had 2000 lbs of steel cut and ready to be welded up. I'd say Afton's got ya beat this year.

It didn't help that the "guy in charge" at wild was a dick to my bro, his friend and I. "Get you're shit off and come help us"...sure, what do you pay per hour?

I wasn't implying that you were. But yes, I will ski at Afton. Rail jam on the 10th for anyone interested. Rainbow rail and box, c rail and box, tons of flats, flat downs, down flat, handrail, butter boxes, you name it.

your talking about wild's park right. the park crew sut up two rails (which took about 1 hour each to set up) they are ONLY ride on, i seriously wish i had taken a picture, EASILY the most horrible set up ive ever seen. I honestly dont see why people still go to wild, they are sooooo bad at setting shit up. Last year, they probably groomed their jumps once of twice the entire season. They have bad fake snow, they just dont have anything worth while.

Huh, taking everything down everynight, blowing snow, taking until 1pm to set again, closing the park to "reset" at 3pm, nothings changed by 4pm. Broken record is right.

And no, the stuff at Afton has NOT all been ride on. It's set so that if you're bad and NEED to ride on, you can slide over the lip and still make it, but the lip is at least 2' from the element. On sunday, afton had 3 boxes, 2 flat rails, 1 hand rail, 25' (something like that) mailbox rail, rainbow rail and c-rail. What did wild have? a box and a rail, set at like, 2:00?

That's what bothers me most about wild, resetting every morning takes like, 3 hours. So, if you get there early to beat the crowd, you end fucking around for 3 hours (or more) until shit gets done. That's the problem inherent in having one main park run.

What I would suggest, to keep everyone happy, is just publicly (i say this cause I don't wnana show up and have nothing without notice) close the park for say, a wednesday. Bow snow all night, day, night, over 40 hours. There. You've got plenty of snow to play around with for a while instead of shifting things around DAILY. Hell, I'll come out and help if that's what it takes.

Thats what were planning on doing, i think, might be wrong, but full park or at least most of it should be going up tomrrow (thurs) and done on fri, for good, so no more daily resetting, well see how it goes

haha, those kids you hate are friends of mine, i totally respect you hating them, they usually try to publically piss off as many people as possible every chance they get. but ya, wild vs. afton, i think it'll just be a rollercoaster race.

Sorry guys, the S-rail is offically dead. Tonight we are re-setting and we will place the two C-rails back to back. Hopefully the sequence will be killer and in the future I hope to set the two C's together with a down gap that will be real sick. Sorry!!!

Just got done with the re-set and it is real early in the morning. Here is the set up; two rail lines 1st has a flat down box (actually two boxes, sorry no gap yet) then the two c-rail set at an angle with about 30 feet in between the two, and finally the coffin box. The other rail line has the flat down and a flat up flat rail. The trash can is still at the bottom. Next week I hope to sink a couple of more rails because there seems to be enough room. The big booter is reallll nice. Sorry about killen' the s-rail I know it is important to the midwest, but there is always new stuff to build soon!! Do I here Wall Ride!!!

Some of the park crew actually put them together. It was their first time building a jib and some of the nuts and bolts needed to be tweaked. The boxes are in the shop to be painted and should be back out this week. I hope to re-set some stuff Thursday night. Those C-rails are a real bitch to set, but I hope everyone digs the set-up!!

check out the website (wildmountain.com) for the rates and I also post the changes for the park a couple of times per week. The park section of the website is pretty cool, park photos and video should be up and running soon.

1.12.06 Just got done with re-setting both parks. 1/4 Rabbit (our little park) has 4 rails or boxes and two small jumps. The main park was pretty beat up after all the warm weather. We switched up some stuff and unburied a bunch of other jibs. Two rail lines: 1) dbl barrel rail set on a down slope, 2 C rails, a small flat rail and then the coffin box. 2) a flat box set on a up slope and a flat up flat rail. We still have three jumps, the 35 footer is definitely feeling good today.

you guys need to fix the top "jumps" or should i say spines. they arent even worth hitting or doing anything off of. make em into like a 10-20'er or something. other then that its pretty sweet. i love the new boxes in the mini park and on top of the main park.

Alright kitty cats here is the new set up for Thurs. the 19th. We will re-set during the day so come up around 4pm for a fresh new set up. The two smaller jumps will be re-done. As someone suggested they will become larger and also placed up the run about 20 feet. Two lines, first will have the up gap down box, two spines, and at the bottom a 10-15 foot table. Second line will have the mailbox on a downslope, the single kink, dbl barrel real low, coffin box and the hourglass box. We have a comp for the little guys on Sun so the set is real mellow. Hopefully the next Tues 24th we will re-set again and put out some more narly gear. I also post changes on our website (wildmountain.com) under the park section. Peace!!

Patience Patience!! We will do some small changes on Tuesday night, with a new jib coming out for the first time. Next re-set will come in the first week in Feb. and the c-rails will be out again and yes we will set them flat.

The maintenance crew put together a 23 foot mailbox, kind of like our old one but longer and slightly skinner. Don't think we will change anything up tonight, and I will be gone for awhile. Next re-set will probably happen on Feb 2nd.
