stratton is building the powers park right now and should be done for the weekend, it looks like it's going to be sick. Plus they have a fun park on old smoothie. I don't know about mt snow jumpd wise, but it looks as if stratton will be having some pretty good sized jumps very soon

mt snow has a flat rail, picnic table, 15-25 foot jumps, down rail, flat-down rail, battleship box, tall gap on flat box, small flat box w/ no ramp to it, tree jib, doghouse wallride, rainbow rail, mailbox, propane tank hit.

Killington has barrel bonks, flat-down-flat box, flat box, flat rail, down box, 20 foot ramp, hip, 25 foot step down, some big ramps (over 30 feet). On O.L. there's a down flat down box, down rail, down box, all street style. Also, a pipe is in the making, may be open soon.

this year is the worst for east parks and skiing, because weve gotten no snow, and its very limited.

sugarbush hasnt done much, but they have been blowing a shitload of snow onto the normal park trail, they also have a long box, c-box, battleship box, barrel bonk, and a good sized wallride, and an up-box to down box, also they have a 10-15 foot jump and a 20-25 foot jump, maybe smaller, i dunno, im not that good with distance

gultch is getting bigger again

"Snowmaking continues on Un Blanco Gulch tonight to get it ready for its expansion tomorrow. Gaitor and his crew will be out very early putting the finishing touches on a handful of features going above the current park. The addition will make the Gulch twice as long. "

its not spread out at all this year. It's pretty sick too, especially for how bad of a year we are having. They're opening up a new park this weekend on dream maker. So they'll have 3 parks and a rail venue with 3 hits at bear. One park on bear trap, i think someone already described it in the thread. The other park is a "booter park" as they call it which is 3 jumps in a line ranging from probably 35-45 ft, i don't know exactly i haven't seen it when its been open. Not really sure what the dream maker park is going to be like but it'll probly be sick.

Stratton by far! 3 Parks with a 4th coming on line this week. Teddy Rauh and the park crew has been working around the clock getting things dialed. Hell, there's even a 30ft Stratton Lot2 Bus on Suntanner! You gotta see it to believe it.
