Not a day goes by when i dread the day the crowds of joeys come up for thier "weekend adventure". So all of us locals ski the park. now that the mountain has caught on to this, the park is going to be way better than previous years, so

if your heading up to NH from down south, it'll be a worth while pit stop

oh also eastside was fun, until they reduced the size of the jump.  Also they should remove the "third pipe" and maybe rollers and put in 1 or 2 more of them each one slightly bigger and make a nice jumpline, keep the spine, maybe make it a bit bigger, maybe throw a flat rail or box in there too.

Also "natural side of lower blastoff is real fun, so epic on a pow day, cause all the joeys think its not part of the trail and stick to the groomed part, freshies all day long, and adds the big mountain sense to skiing.  Sunapee over grooms.

the kid in the latest photo was matt, his ns'ers name is meski
and the park on eastside is never gonna have rails or anything b/c its supposed to be natural features 100% snow
but the park is deff shaping and should be epic this weekend with the rainbow and whatever else they added.
Bobby your right the middle jump is perfection
hopefully the good things keep coming

yeah i know matt kind of, didn't recognize him in the pic.  Can't find the pic now, but wasn't he on anthems?   I'm used to him riding on 1st gen lizzies or scratch sprayer BCs.

I know its a bit late in the season now, and that according to the park site, 'the park is 100% complete", but I see the skiers left side has a 3 jump line that goes 35-40-55 all step downs, yet the right side is a bit lacking.  There is a "3 jump line" if you can call it that that goes 5-10-15.  Site says they are "split lip jumps"  Are they step downs, tables, or just wedges and a landing?  For next year or later this season if possible I'd like to see a jump line that's like 10-15-20-30 or 10-20-25 or 10-20-30 or 10-15-20-25 all legit step downs all nicely shaped and manicured.  For reference, https://newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/436896/

i was up there on sunday it was okay. the big park on the left was legit i liked the flow cuz it was like a real slopestyle course. but the small side was waay lacking. there were no lips to any of the hits except for the flat down at the end and the flat rail in the middle. idk it was good it didnt help that someone jacked my brand new Thall poles. they tried to steal my invaders but couldnt get through the lock (thank god)

Just wanted to let you cats know we are closing tomorrow so come for the rail jam.  Check out the photo of the setup in the resort news section.  Should be sick. 

Also, thanks to everyone who has been in the park, regulars and one-timers.  It's been an awesome season and we want to thank you for giving input to help make the park better.

We have tons of plans for next year like turning Elliot into a park.

Have a good summer, see you in the Fall.

i dont really agree with the whole jump thing. I think that the second jump is mad sketchy but the first and last kickers are mad fun. I thought
