For anyone who cares, we have a 300cm base at the top. Whitepass is absolutley awesome with sick snow and wicked natural hits. Currie, Lizard and Cedar are still closed because of avalanches.
In the park we have our rails buried by about 6ft of snow, but i'm more than likley going to dig them out tommorow. We have 4 tables up now, 1st 40ft, 2nd 30ft step up, 3rd 50ft, 4th big step up. Apparently tomorow there will be a break in the weather, so the park should be open.
Sick here now check it out!!!

I'll be up there friday and saturday. I've got three actions shots due in 2 weeks for my photography class, so if anyone's interested, i'll have my camera up there and i'm looking for anyone to shoot while i'm up there since none of my friends can make it up with me.

I might be coming up for spring break. I will also repeat that Fernie did an amazing job on the Heavy Metal rail jam earlier this year, and if the hits are anything like that now then you should be there.

Hey cab-d, why do you lie and say your kickers are 30-40 and 50 footers and in reality they are much smaller, like maybe 15-20 footers. A little andice would be to step back the xl jump considerably so you don't land on the flats. Good park but small jumps!!!!!
I'm local!

i'll get out a measuring tape just for you so you know exactly how big they are. I was told those lengths by our park groomer.

Hey cab, just so were on the same page your saying that the first kicker is a 30 foot table? Maybe 30 from the top of the jump to the bottom of the landing transition. My old park had 40/50 and 60 foot tables and they were atleast twice the size. Maybe your groomer buddy needs to learn some math skills. Measure from the top of the jump to the top of the tranny!

i was up there saturday and sunday and it was siiick! fernie is a really fun mountain and the snow was good, except why is the park in such an inconvienient spot? I mean the topography was nice, but it takes like 1/2 hour to get to it.

Cab, I wear a green cammo coat, grey pants and red twintips. If you see me say hey and well go check out the kickers.
I was up there today in the morning, was a little crusty.
Wasn't trying to bash the park just want accurate measurements.
