Anybody know more about what kind of rocks they actually built? I've seen some photos of sick log rides they made and a cabin, but I keep hearing that there is going to be some drops? Anybody on here work on that stuff this summer?

dont get too excited the "cliffs" are just piles of haybales that after it snows will create some rollover type of drops

It wont get to 10 feet around the rails, I dont think. And as for the drops the lip would judt be 10' higher. The tree jib on the other hand, you could probably say good bye to.

looks dangerous to be logging at a ski area. poor decisions by northstar in my opinion.

Ya, our snow cliff was sicker than a pile of logs. The gap was at least that size and the takeoff was way taller.

I do like the log jibs though.

I'm also wondering how they are going to jib that house?

Why is it dangerous to be "logging" at a ski area?

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be felling trees when there are skiers in the area. All the work was done this summer, when there was no one on the mountain. So I really don't understand why its dangerous

i heard that they are going to have something called the gauntlet, and they will be falling trees, there is going to be dwarfs with bows and arrows shooting at you, and siberian snow tigers that haven't been fed for a week on the loose. whoever makes to mid mountain lodge wins the prize aka the stash!!!
