Ok. So Everyone pick your favorite resort, or choose delagates from each resort constituency and post the updates for the Mountain you most frequent. Say if some person goes to Sunshine, then post Sunshines updates. If someone frequents COP then post the snowgun progress.
Of course if you always want, you can go to a website and look for youself rather than getting biased and sometimes silly opinions from Regional Forumers.
I pick to give the current 10-4 on Fernie.
Its goin' RAIN....

it the tables a good 50-70ft id saya good 50% of the kids in the programs will hit the booter...but i do have to agree, if its 80ft i don't think more than a handful will in which case its sort of pointless to put that much money into it

dude like 9 kids just on souther will do tricks off a 80 foot table.
Anways my dad was at COP on thursday and he said they werent making snow but they were definitatly working on building stuff on the left side. Its cold enought that they could start making snow for the park, but i dont think they are.
sunshines webcams are finally white and it looks like the snow is there to stay this time

whoa like 20 ppl max hitting this supposed 80 footer...think about it...would cop put that much time and money and upkeep into a jump that they're going to have to have monitored when those kids aren't hitting it??
like maintaining something like that isn't cheap...plus they're going to need extra security watching the jump when the clubs aren't on it...lighting...etc etc etc
sure a few kids will hit it...but is making an 80 footer worth the investment over making a really nice regular comp size like 50 or 60 footer??

you dont have to moniter it at all, just put fencing in front of the jump and on the landing. theres always an employe there who would catch you before you can open it to hit.
Also why would we want regular sized jumps. its not like its a slopstyle table. its a big air jump, for big air comps. Big air jumps SHOULD be massive.

i hope they make it and let me hit it, if regular non team riders dont get to hit it then its fuckin pointless

if you have insurance you would definatly be able to hit it at competitions. but like probably not most of the time, im not sure though.

uhh.. I hate to be a skeptic but sunshine has only a 40 something centimeter base. They need a lot more snow to open. Like at least 30 centimeters. It even says so on their website but they seem to be optomistic, even if it is only cautiously so. Check the snow report if you don't believe me.

cause and effect is something we invent in our minds, it is not real. It's like saying the sun will rise tomorrow morning because it has risen every morning before. This is called induction and induction betrays us.
So just because Sunshine has managed to open every year before at this time does not mean it will this year. You are inducing it will open based on the cause and effect you invent in your mind, and this will betray you, if not know then later.
