I think a thread comes up every year asking how it is, so here it is. Does anyone ski there? Does their park have anything to it, big hits? Let me know what the word is, if you know.

okay theyve got two parks, like a easy park and a harder park.
the easy park has a 25ft flat rail, a 20 foot wide box, a rainbow box, rainbow rail, Aframe box, a mailbox, and a really short flat box at the end. The other park has a banked c rail, an s rail, an aframe rail, a trap rail, two huge booters, and a pretty nice table top at the very end.

and this fly cliff that they closed off because of us at the top of the easy park lift if you take it all the way to the top, not get off halfway.

i was just there tonite. the harder park is actually pretty decent. All the rails are nice and the table top at the end was in great shape. huge upgrade from having possibly the worst park of all-time last year.

I'm not gonna lie, if you want to waste 50 on a lift ticket, go to granite, they have a few good rails, but the jumps are not poppy, and not fun. Granted the hill is 100 times better then last year, but if you want a park hit up the south and go to cascade or tyrol.

i waas just up there for the last few days and id say the parks was decent.

beginner pa

little step down with two take offs, prolly aboput 5 feet and 15 feet. next was either a 40 foot box about 3-4 feet high or a huge 1/4 pipe spanning the width of the run. the pipe had a box up above the liup that was fun but other than that the pipe was shitty, it needed to be cut. aftrer that was either a 40 footer flat rail or a 20 foot box. after that was an a frame box that was really steep, a rainbow box, then a rainbow rail, and a little flat bar.

Advanced park

started with a nice crail that was smooth, then a HUGE aframe follwed on the right. after that was either a 15-20 foot step down that had a little pop, but dropped a lot. next to that was a 20x20 flat down. that big hit was a dual take off 20 and 45ish feet stepdown. this jump especially the bigger one were really nice, they had good pop and decent landings. after that was either a 20 foot table nice sttep landing so you could fly far as well lots of pop too.
if you didnt want to hit the last jump you could hit a srail that was fun cause it was only like 1.5 feet off the ground so it wasnt intimidating, after that there was a little battleshit rail that was about 2.5 feet high.
