i had this emailed to me today....park should be up sooner then they think....7 days of -40 should help

Snowy Greetings,



Hope everyone stayed warm over the weekend. Here is the Club update for the last week in November:



Important: The hill is closed today due to the cold weather with extremely high wind-chill factor. There is a strong possibility that the hill will be closed tomorrow as well if temperatures stay the same. The forecast calls for a warming trend to start on Wednesday.
Training terrain: I am sure most of you are wondering when the east and west sides of the hill will be opening for training. Our original date was set for the first weekend in December, which has been modified to the middle of December due to the warm weather conditions last week. Currently we need about another 7 days of constantly cold weather to finish blowing snow on both outer sides of the hill.
Terrain Park: In regards to the halfpipe, the operations crew will need an additional week after the snow making is done to cut the pipe before it will opened for training.
Freestyle Site: The operations crew is still excavating on the east with the scheduled opening of the freestyle sites (aerials/ mogul runs) to be opened in the New Year.

saw this on the cop site today:

COP is excited to begin their 2007 winter season! To celebrate it, CODA, along with Burton and the Source, will be hosting an official Kick-off Event here at the hill on December 2nd from 9am until 9pm. Come check out our new Slopestyle Retail Store as it unleashes a wicked new layout of Burton gear, or stay outside and test some new gear before you buy as Burton rocks its first of five demo days here at the hill. The day is packed with events including contests, giveaways, on-hill competitions, games, food, music and a sponsored Source party in the Paskapoo lounge. Whether you’re anxious to get on the hill, eager to try our new Olympic-sized half pipe, or just looking for an awesome way to spend your day, COP’s Winter Season Kick-off is the place to be December 2nd.


says somthing about the pipe being open? which is kinda wierd, not sure if they mean the park or what, cause from everyone it sounds like it will be another week or 2 untill its up??????????????????

Don't expect the park or pipe to open too soon this year. The park crew wants to take their time and ensure that all features have time to set up and solidify properly before they open anything to the public, especially the pipe (i.e. avoid holes in the walls, lip breakdown, etc.). The "expected" opening of the main park is Dec 8, as Eric mentoned, and the pipe on the 9th, however, after speaking with operations, it is completely weather, and Wade, dependent. COP is holding a lot of high-level competitions this yr and is gonig to maximize their terain park, so they're going to take the time to do it right.

is it just me, or is the rainbow rail really gay now? i just find it hard to pop on to. Other than that though the park is way better than its been. Top park is fun too, the down rail is really fun, and i havent tried the battleship yet but it looks good.

Yeah, the rainbow rail is gay. I saw it trying to have sex with the (male) battleship rail.

the rainbow looks gay and in a sense is, its just ridiculously easy and if you pop enough u can land on the down part really easily.

i think with the room they have up there they should have alot better down rail set up, longer or something, but maybe it means they are gonna put all the other rails to good use
