Does anyone know what the setup for the slopestyle is gonna be this year? I hope it's like it was last year, because that was so sick.

Giray I take it you mean this Monday coming up after the US Open for snowboarding is done. Or the Monday after the VT Open.

Also how is Bristols park looking now, I may head up soon.

go there and go to podcasts or whatever under the pics on the right and there is a video of slopestyle qualifiers, pipe qualifiers and quarter pipe finals.

heres the course (all measurements are estimated):

the first box is mad wierd, its a flat down but the there are two 10 ft flats on each side of the 25 ft down, kinda like this rough sketch, =-, you have to kinda transfer over from which ever flat part you choose to the down. disatering this kinda seems like the thing to do, but there isnt a jump straight on so youd come from the side, it seems like itb be kinda wierd to sw. up on.

then theres a really long mellow flat down rail, maybe 20 ft flat then 20 ft down. i dont think disatering is really in option unless you come out of the flat down box really fast.

then 4 jumps, the second one is def the biggest, but none of them are really that big, 45-55 ft maybe.

then the choice of a 35 flat rail or 20 ft up box.
