What is it like? Do they have their usually line of shittily made 25 footers, or do they have actual stuff? Do they have their s rail or dfd up?

yea, there isn't much snow for them to do much with. they do have their superpipe open and a few jibs like the c boxes and the rainbow.

Is it the dfd that they had the last couple years and is it set up urban style? Also does anyone know where I can get mountain vouchers at, I could get you some cheap Breck tickets if you can get me some cheap nstar passes.

the dfd is urban, super sick and hard to do.

they now have four good jumps, all nicely shapped, pretty poppy, although their cosistency from day to day is poor.

they have 3 down rails,
2 battleships
down box
car box
up-down elbow
urban style c
reg c
rainbow box
butter/ollie 3 box combo
hip
dragon box wallride
tilt elbow box
log ride
flat boxes


and a SUPER PIPE, with one good wall.

overall its super fun.

was there this weekend and had fun for the amount of snow thats there. how many ft. are the jumps on the left side line (double take offs, left side being a bit bigger) the lips on those were weird for me, would kinda huck me off balance if i wasn't really paying attention. jumps at the bottum on the left side had smooth lips and would launch you pretty well, short landings though.

Northstar has an alright park right now, but I would rather ride Donner Ski Ranch's park. They really stepped it up this yer, they have a 75 foot table up. Or at least they did before the storm, the snow will make that thing unhitable for a few days.

If you have to ski Northstar on a regular basis, I feel sorry for you. I skiied for 2 hours and on a weekday and there was an infinite gaper train running through the park at all times. Also, many of the lips onto rails are setup up really shittily and the jumps are the worst I have seen in a long time. There needs to be a park pass or something there, because right now it is dangerous, from the amount of people and its all around sketchy set up. In summation, if I had paid for a lift ticket, I would have been pissed.

damn, so much hate!!!


yeah, northstar has issues with high volume. yes there are gapers. yes the jumps suck.

But, I ski there becuase its fun, and there rails slay everyone execpt heavenly right now. Plus, if it weren't for the select few of us skiers who hold it down over there, it would be over run by snowboarders.

oh yeah, the matix box kicks ass.
