ok so heres the deal. whaleback does this rail session thing EVERY saturday. i think they've been doing it for like 5 or 6 weeks now. this weekends no different from all the other ones, so i think theyll prolly setup a box or a rail of some sort.

yea they have only 2 boxes set up with of course,...2 inruns


the fact that it seems to be 40% precip. bascially kills the entire idea. seeing how, i dont think they would move it into Zero Gravity indoor skate park on that short of notice...or at all. so im trying to call them...cept of course they aint there at 6:00 on a wednesday their pub is open tommorow so we may have better luck...im gonna have to say we might as well forget it...wait till next weekend, :( cuz i know for me and others...the 2-3 hour trip wont be worth it...not in shitty condishions

Yo
    This is Dylan from Whaleback Mountain. We have on deck jibbing every Saturday from 11-4pm. The set up is a 12-foot t-box and an 18-foot box.  The stuff is not big but a lot of fun. The cost is $10 bills or a truckload of snow. All the money goes to building new features. If you’re under 18yrs you need to have your parents sign the wavier. Just give me an email at Dylan@whaleback.com for fliers or any questions.

  We are also having two rail jams and video premiers in November. These events are for chillen with your friends, hitting a sick set-up and lots of swag.  The first one is November 18th with GBP Films, Sic Films and Meathead Films. These are all local guys doing what they love on the east cost. The cost for the jam and movies is $20 bills or $5 for just the movies. The second one is November 25th with Ple’house Films. Phil hooked it up for us with Skimatic. I just got it in the mail and can’t wait to watch it tonight. I hope to see everyone at one of these events. Hitting the Dock or hangout.

To check out the set-up(The Dock) for the November events go to our park updates on NS.

whats the deal if it rains the 18th? if ur still considering options, i think i speak on behalf of 99% of the skiers that we have NO problem sessioning in the pouring rain, sleet or huricaines, even if the judges don't want to come outside and make it an official contest, we're all more than happy to just hit up the set-up all day

it depends on the weather, if they can make snow there will probably be the dock if not just the two features on the deck

Rain or shine, we will have it set up. Come throw down.

The dock will be ready for next weekend and if we have to truck in snow with a dump truck and use our loader, we will. Hopefully, we get the temps to make a little white stuff for you all.
