apparentyl they have a full time park tech and are supposably setting up some decent stuff, rumor has it that they cut off the lodge chimney and setting it up in the park as a bonk/wallride

I was up there last sat...a friend of mine was up there yesterday and said a lot of runs were closed for snowmaking...not sure about the park.

Last sat the jumps were in slightly worse condition than the week before. However, they have installed a new rail...tiny flat then down. Looks sick but I havent hit it yet. Going up on the 26

I went up wednesday and they had one jump, something like 15 feet, a flat bar, and some other rail that is not worth hitting.

yeah...it was wicked in the early season...but the park is definitely slipping...

they took out the box so you can get more speed for the table...but everyone's still hitting it dead slow, landing flat...and it's reeeeeally icy.

if you ask me they should shave the table back and set the box up.

They also completely removed the 10 foot table at the top outside the park...that was a wicked jump. I dont know why they removed it...high traffic. The trap rail sucks.

the new rail is awesome though.

Being a small hill...Edelweiss really needs some smaller tables and more boxes...their current set up doesnt allow for much progression.

there today (sat. dec. 31). TH trap rail is absolute garbage.

The landing on the table top was much better today...I think they made some snow on it, so it was somewhat forgiving.

the flat rail is the best feature...I hit it for the first time today...and have nice blue rail stains on my pants to prove it.

There's also a step up jump near the top which has some nice pop and is easily 3able.

Mother nature hasnt played nice lately but the park will be moved over to yoddler with more features and variety as soon as they can get some snow over there. The box was taken out cause it needed to be repaired and the tech was off. It will be back soon.

I thought the box was taken out to get more speed for the tabletop...which was desperately needed.

I look forward to any park developments at the weiss.

Yea I was up there today (Tuesday) and the jump was pretty tight until later in the afternoon. They moved the box down to where the flatbar was and they are setting up the big kink and the flatbar somewhere down yoddler. Should be good for this weekend.

Was there last night.

The tabletop was good except the landing was icey.

They've elevated the trap which was desperately needed.

The flatbar is over on another hill...I didnt like the set up though...it was almost uphill.

Then newest feature is a 3-option at the bottom of the park, with a box, jump (perfect for 3's), and big flat down rail.

The landing on the box was so worn in that it was murder.

all landings were being regroomed last nigth as I left the hill.

The whole park should be moving to yoddler very soon. The plan was for this weekend but this rain and warm weather might delay it a bit. The remaining rails will be out and hopefully some new features

THe flat down rail is sick, except the landing for is really flat and a lil harsh, but landing switch off it somehow eases the impact

WOW!! All I a going to say is park in ottawa has gone to a whole new level!!! Rails and boxes installed with love, giant table going in tomorrow, the hip is nearly complete. And the crowning jewel............A 35ft stepdown so high you cant see the groomer when its parked on the deck!

Come out and see for yourself this weekend. Promise you wont be disapointed!

WOW, what a nice park, better than fotune in my opinion. Jumps: a 7-8 ft, a 15 ft, a 20 ft Hip, and a 35 ft. Rails: Flat bar, C-rail, Rainbow rail(well set-up), and 2 others that weren't in yet. Box: REALLY sweet new box (about 20-25ft with a drop in it) Park runs from the very top to the very bottom of the mountain with pretty good flow. Best I've seen from EV in years.

when i went last week on friday, they had a bunch of jumps, a updown rail which was weird as fuck.
the flat rail which i always love.
a curved rail which was really fun.
their really terrible rainbow.
they were working on setting up like a 40 foot box, and a jump. but i never actually got to hit it cuz it was closed all day. and there flatdown rail disapeered.

yeah they managed to shape it with the cat and not have to bring up the dragon. We got a new groomer this year that seems to have alot more flex then the standard ones. Of course final touches were done by hand

nice, that is a huge bonus to be able to shape it with the groomer. fortune's groomer needs to get the extended front plow, so it too can shape hips

PArks getting there slowly but surely, were gonna move those boxes back up to Yodler somewhere bellow the flat bar, still not sure where the flat-down is going and there will be a log jib/spinish creation and chimney wall ride in between the hip and the rail parks current local

I went up last night and everything was nice. The final jump had a super nice kick and it was real nice and floaty, only problem the landing for it was super flat. My buddies were telling my i was clearing it perfectly and i would almost get the knees in the chest. The gap is more like 50 feet. All they have to do is make the landing steeper and it would be a REALLY fun jump.

those boxes beside the jump in the last pic are 21ft and 22 ft so the gap then was roughly 45ft, we cut the jump and pushed more snow up the landing to make it steep, i would say it is now 45-50ft but the float is insane and big, really fun lots of time to tweak grabs and spin steazy
