I snowmake for Vail and we've yet to blow any snow on Golden Peak for the park. I believe tonight or tomorrow night we're getting things going for Bwana park, the smaller park.

vail has no need to cater to park rats when cougars pay them plenty and hardly even ski.

check out copper's cam, it looks like they might have a pipe ready by this weekend, but i doubt it will be up before thanksgiving. i wish they would put in a booter like they did two years ago to keep us occupied when all the bowls and the park is closed.

I can't believe I am saying this, but Keystone's jump is actually a perfect pre season jump. It has the best lip and landing of any jump i have ever seen there. I would say it is 35 feet with an inrun that is the right length with zero speed checks. Just bomb down from the drop in and turtle. I think this is the result of them bringing in Breck's jump builder, and hope it is a preview to what we can expect this year.

keystone's looked sick, but it was closed yesterday because of all the snow. i think its bigger than either of breck's, and it has a really long landing.

they also moved their jibs down so that you can reach them from the A51 lift. there were about 15 open yesterday and they were working on more.

When I was at Keystone this weekend it looked like they were getting really close with this huge kicker that has the landing coming in under the A51 chair. They were still working on some smaller stuff too.
