I remember the good old days when mad river was worth the trip. hell its only 40 minutes away from where i live but i wont even bother going there anymore. ever since they relocated the park to the bunny hill shit has gone hill dramatically. When i was in high school mad river used to be the shiznit. they had a few nice rails and a fun rainbow that that was great for swich ups and what not.They had a sweet set up of sequencial tables with side by side hits; one side was 60 feet and the other 35, and then a second table that was prolly 30 feet. then at the bottom you had the choice between a rainbow rail or a 20 foot box rail. But bottom line is those days are over and who ever is managing the park is doing a poor job. It such a shame b/c its easy to get a cheap season pass.

i'd be stoked for all the kids that ride down there if mad river would do alot of research before they put money into the park. They can actually save money if they do things right, not to mention the business a good park brings in... (ie. Snowtrails) Snowtrails nows how to do it right and puts the park into the hands of willing (experienced) park builders that do way more work than a paid employee woudl do just for the passion. some day mr kent graham will figure things out. i am sick of talking about it cause i spent 3 years of my life tryin to get him to even understand

Too flat. Their only chance is putting a jump line down the main run.
