umm from what i've seen not much....but since this is kind of a big deal for them (its their first summer rail jam) i'd expect them to have a pretty decent gap on to probably the middle option. but thats just my guess

i can't imagine that its gonna be the stairset rail. It takes alot of snow to set that beast up

they had a ton of snow there a week ago and there would be plenty for the stairs. i dont know how much they will have 2 weeks from now though, but whatever rail they have you better kill it. you will be able to win since i wont be there... oh wait... i suck. shit.

yeah theyve got a TON of snow left..htey could probably still be open if they really wanted too....
and just for the record- think about next year...big boulder AND jack frost are getting a lot more guns...and if they still have snow in late april....:)

boulder should invest in a lot more vert instead of a lot more guns.... but maybe if they blow enough snow it will increase their vert.

^^^ i aggree with steve. they should have a different rail or like a dfd on the side along with the car. i no that will use a lot of snow but you said they had tons.

i've hit all of the 3 rails on that staircase, and they're a lot of fun. whoever said they wanted the car, you've obviously never hit the thing, cause it sucks. its like 12 feet long total. such a waste of a cool idea.

if they have that car rail I'm not going. Well, actually i probably still will end up going, but it's just not a fun rail. It seriously is like 12 ft long.
