They have good rails. Not much for jumps though. Sick Roller Coaster rail they where setting up when I was there a couple weekends ago. It's up now I've heard. Down Box that is perfect for spinning onto. Like absolutly perfect for it. A flat bar I'd give it about 30 feet, Flat box, Kinda fun little roller coaster box and a nice high flat bar thats good to spin off of. They have a decent butter box to

I think the back door lost all credibility when I saw a mom and her two kids riding in there. I hate that stupid "hike."

well at this time of year that all sucks. Cliffs are not worth trying cause you sink in and face plant off the smallest of drops, no powder and that other stuff just isn't that fun in slush

the back door isn't even worth a 5 minute hike.

dude if ya only know how to ski groomers your going to suck in spring conditions. Garbage chutes ahs a variety of good sized cliffs and mini lines that are amazing in the spring and just because YOU dive and face plant doesnt mean its impossible. Its actually easy, just a different skill then stomping a cliff mid winter in pow. Spring slush landings are like landing on a trampoline, you just have to know how to absorb them right so you dont bounce over your tips. Mid winter is more like landing on a pillow. Plus any sort of back country and steeps is the shit, Slushalanches, blue bird days and soft soft snow. A couple parks laps in the morning when its still crusty then off to do some real mans skiing in the afternoon. Andrew dude you just stay in the park though. Your right it sucks so bad at this time of year...

i guess the slushalanches are cool...until they kill you one day. but yeah garbage chutes in the spring are good cause they get the sun driectly on them, but ski them now because they close them off mid may. i would rather ski the park all day anyways (in the spring), i suck at park and it's more fun to learn when it's warm out.

are you kiding me?? this time of year if you dont have equipment you rent and shred the dive, and the cliffs are good this time of year its just people think there bad because a) they suck and dont do it right b) never done it or c) are hitting the wrong stuff.

hahahaha me too ryan, i have such a sweet goggle burn! but ya the park was sick today, to bad it slowed down a bit between runs cause i 1/2 cased the hip when trying to gap the whole thing and do a cork 7 (the vid should be good!!)
but if its as good as it is theis week next week should be a great way to end the season!
