hey all

im helping with the copper mtn park staff and we wanted to put our park up on the map for next year...

we'll have a park update soon, but we close next sunday, a week from today.

i was wondering if any of you guys could give me a list of dream fetures you would love to have--from jumps to rails etc

thank you

i appreciate it

a dfd but the downs kinda flaten out so there isnt a hard kink, making it a smooth ride.

if you play music, dont play shitty music. my mountain has death metal on half the time, and it sucks skiing to that

"a line of like 5 nice lofty tables, not step downs, not step ups, just tables with about a 45-50 foot gap"

youve got the right idea but it would be better if they were bigger,more consisent rails, speed for jumps, features that are my favorites are:

trap boxes
dfd
fdf
triple kinks would be fun
very long boxes/rails
well set up fd (disasterable with good lip, able to spin on, able to switch up)
coasters
up rails/boxes
jumps that are easy to hit switch, long table and poppy lip but with much transition, long landings, easy to get speed for them

not for me but in general people like having varitety of dificulty in features, being able to work their way up to the hard stuff is nice, lots of features

(just for the record, the perfect park would be keystone's park leading into breck's park with the green giant from wp and vail's warming hut at the bottom, with a high speed quad)

have a smooth flow, like a few small jumps liek 40 footers and then build up into a 60, and for rails make it so you have more then one line or one option

the biggest problem with coppers park this year was the rails that were set up really wernt all that challenging, except for that huge trap box.
