So I started this new thread becuase there is no need to drag a old one out from last year.

It is 11/21 and they have not started blowing snow yet. At this point the projected openening day is 12/9/5.

The park is going to kick ass this year!

Damn, I have not had a chance to get in the pipe yet. Too damn busy today to do anything fun.

The new and final name for the freeride ski program is DARKSIDE FREERIDE TEAM.

conditions today sucked, really bumpy and sugar everywhere. the landings for all the rails had gator pits and were mad haggared, the only plus was the first hit on sidewinder was good if you hit the left side. i hope conditions get better soon.

Our beginner rail is real nice, I was even attempting switch on to it.

Today was the first time I was in the new pipe, I think it is awesome... much easier to boost now!

The sugar sucked today, and yes the park was very haggard. We need more park crue member that are willing to do work...

agreed with the park crue, but yesterday when i was up even though the snow sucked the park was better. the first hit was really nice and there were no rollers or anything after it, the new up flat rail is so much fun and you can just go full tilt at the c box and that is money. overall it was pretty good, just wish the temps would come back down so they could get some new snow up there and make it even better.

Thanks, I just wanted to get something online... it is taking me forever to get the full video together. We had 3 different cameras going at the same time for some shots.

Yeah, that booter is BIG... the snow was a little to slow earlier to hit it though. Some new "rails" installed since Friday as well.

The Sidewinder park is nicer and bigger than I've ever seen it, the size of the jumps really keeps most of the families and little kids away. I just neet to get some more balls and finally progress

Thanks Justo

Tre was thowing some nice stuff in the upper park during freeriders last weekend and KT hit that c box so sweet! I think the re-vamped park is really helping people step-up.

There are still plans to add more, and bigger features... all we need is some SNOW!

Right now management is freaking out becuase of the weather and low crowds. they are not letting us do much until things get better. But there are more features coming.

Good session on the flat down today. Who was the cutie with the smile and the TM's? I have never seen her in our park before.

We are probably going to offer a 5 week freeride ski package starting next week. So if you were thinking about joining but could not afford the $465, let me know. All levels and abilities are welcome!

Blue is still kickin'. I think the snowmaking forecast I saw for this week said blowing was possible 4 nights out of seven, but I don't know if that has changed since Sunday...

Yes, we just put in a new step-up gap jump after the double wedge in the top of the top park. It is about 24' I believe.
