Black Pipe is making a comeback....some stuff got moved for our 'Jib Lane' which is in the works. Butterbox was extremely well liked, Ill see what I can do to ensure its return somewhere. It was kind of thrown together when the 20 box was broken...

Since we got an inside man (PaulT) I thot i'd make a few comments. Haven't been up in a week, but most skiers i've talked to think it'd be good if there were wider get ons to the rails (for getting on switch), as well as being slightly more of a jump on,, i know snowboarders like ride ons, but if you make a nice jump on right up to the start of the rail its kinda the best of both worlds, snowboarders can still ride on, and skiers have a nice jump for spinning on and such

the up-flat-down (thats a battleship right? yeah?) used to have a really nice jump onto it, the lip was still a ride on, but it kind of shot you onto the first part of the rail and it was really nice...

wow, after spending a weekend at TROLL MOUNTAIN, i realize how lucky we are... they have rails made out of wood with this super slippery plastic shit wrapped around it, and the jumps were all crooked and weird.

appreciate.

Park Update....Tables have gotten a face lift with an added 10-12 ft. of snow pushed onto the top of them...they look massive. Should be entertaining. A-Frame is now a gap on for those that inquired. Slopestyle comp is today (friday).

Rest of the weekend runs like this....
Saturday..Pipe and Sunday Boarder X.
Saw the jumps in action today...they are pretty massive. The lip of the kickers are easily my height of 6'...the rock-hardness of the snow made for a busy day for Patrol.

i liked the butter box before it broke, you actaully had to jump up onto it instead of just kind of riding and bending your knees

well...once the big box gets fixed, maybe make it so it's not as high, or make a better jump onto it.   it was fun, but you really had to pop and suck your legs up if you wanted to slide it which made it harder to do spin combos on it.

It was a high jump on...I saw all kinds of people including me, clip a tip being lazy and get owned. I can definitely take care of that.

definitely keep it high off the ground still tho, just put a better jump on......... also,, on another note,, since the park is getting better and better might as well step up the level,,, i was thinking it'd be great if there was a big gap onto a rail,, or maybe even a box,, something u can spin more than 270 on and still make it look good,, u can still keep it safe by making the rail/box close to the ground

have to do something about where that wide flat box sits, cos its a fucking gong show with everyone waiting for the xl line right underneath it.

maybe move that 20ft over to the left in line with where the downflatdown is now and maybe try and figure out something too divide the xl lane from the med lane below that - it can be a fucking joke in there.

yeh, and having the lip of the kicker to that box line up 5 inches below the leading edge makes spinning more than 90 on really hard, and switch on damn near impossible.

and bring back the big round 20 footer.

and paint my fence

now dammit

i dont know if anyone else has been there, but silver stars step up box is kinda fun. like put the big box or that one thats beside the 20 on an upwards angle and put a big gap at the end of it so you have to launch the gap and you could do some 270/450 off kinda things.

any kind of up rail would be nice, something you could just bomb down to and launch off the end and spin like mad the 20 would be good for that or even that pipe maybe.


how bout a tree stall that is kinda set up a little easier for skiers? theres the one in the woods beside where the large fun box was but its kinda hard to make it up to it cause you have to pop alot. stalls are super fun...tires work well for stalls to...

well im out of ideas but pretty much anything you can spin off of or stall or jib on thats fun.

lets get to work!

the tree stall thing could be set up like what was on the old t-bar ( the one that's to the left of the ridge chair, and is really old, and made of wood... you know...)

it was kind of like, a quarter pipe, but it was set back a foot or so from the support that you stalled on, it shot you right on perfect and you could push off of it a bit and land back into the quarterpipe... its all fucked up from being hit now. but the same sort of thing could work in the park

thats the prob with something like a tree stall - the kicker too it gets fucked in no time. better off building one with some mates and just seshing it.


but a quarter pipe with tyres on top would be dope for stalls - you could build it wide so it doesnt get beaten up too quick.
