You will not be disappointed. The landings are huge and we are working on the takeoffs. They made so much snow. Three tables, with three options, plus a quarterpipe with a wall ride on top. I hope it can all get done by tomorrow!!!!
Back to work!

So what do your think?
We didn't have time to get every thing up, but what we did, I sure think is the best in years!

What can we improve upon or what did your like?

We will add the battleship box and rollers to the flat upper section once we get snow and will add a rail option to the third table. There will also be some tree jibs once we get another round of snowmaking as well.

Personally, the third table with the step up was only doable by skipping the second jump, I would like to make that longer or provide a third takeoff on the second hit, so that we can have 4 options coming features to hit coming down.

Open forum, please use it. Steve Voss gave the approval on the current setup up so we know we can go bigger and better!

i'd personally like to see the 40 foot box segments all put into a flat 40 foot box. I think the jumps were very good, i liked the flow of the park. I'd also like to see some more rails with the boxes because i havnt seen a rail at sunburst for a while. But great job setting it up it was great.

oh and also id like to see the 2 c boxes put after each other so it makes on gigantic c box

I'mm pumped for the setup this year, it's going to be a great place to film for our movie and will show that wisconsin has what it takes to be a legit place to ski.

I'd love to work out some special filming arrangements with you guys later in the season, maybe some tuesdays or thursdays we could setup a ladder to film with on one of the tables

A good shot of the 2 & 3rd options plus the future wall ride and the jump back to chair three. The step up was awesome Friday night:)

Yes I know we need to rake the decks, and add a few more rails (they're coming) but for 2 days of cat work at it's December 9th, I think this qualifies as the first true terrain park to open in the midwest!

most likely. although skiing in the rain is fun. especially when it is free. i don't know how good rails would be in the rain. i mean they might be slicker but i just don't know.
