Recent park additions at Boreal

a couple of new things have been put in the last few nights.
The setup from the Head to Head comp is still up with start mound turned into a medium sized step-up jump. Its not too big but its fun and the sides are cut with zaugg. It's sweet from all angles. Stu is going to put the f/d box back into the Kidz park tonight also.
In the lower jump line the third jump has changed into a channel gap. Also, Jay got bored a few nights ago and brought up his chainsaw in the cat. He cut jibbable snow ledges into the left side of the first two jumps. They are pretty cool but favor snowboards, haven't seen any skiers mess with them yet.
Over on 49ner, both the d/f/d and shark fin rails were added to the line. You can get to that line from both Accelerator and 49ner chairs. Go past the race course from Accel or take the new high road to the riders right from 49ner.

its a flat down rail but instead of a kink it has a 1ft tall 1ft long step down. Last year we set it once as an up/down and it looked like a shark fin and the name stuck.

to mudflap. The snow feature like the one after the three pack are super cool ideas but for them to be best the trannies have to be kind of mellow if you have a lot of speed so you dont get thrown off and if they are low speed ones it would be funnest if there were super steep trannies and high angles on them. and the ollie on rail at the top is sick

boreal has got some super fun stuff. but that big jump needs a steeper landing or something because coming down off that thing is pretty rough. s rail=cash money. Alpine definately has got the gurtz flowin with that over hangin lift tower thing. i think it's the best rail feature ever created.

yeah..we know. Still need snow to get that sucker up higher out of the gulley so the landing doesn't get pinched at the bottom. When we rebuilt two weeks ago I decided to go with the longest landing possible verses a short steep landing. Hopefully this storm isn't a bust and we'll get snow to rebuild that jump. We could always take some pop off the takeoff to even it out. What do you think about that? It would lose some trickablity though. We want to push that knuckle out to where the lift tower is, that would give us the ability to make the landing 2 or 3 degrees steeper and about 50ft longer while keeping the same style takeoff.

breal is perfect right now, thanks mudflap for getting the jibs up to par.
my only suggestion is the flat down box next to the pipe sends you mach 10 straight into the ground...hard landing. needs a bit of a landing.

boreal and alpine are wicked fun right now. I agree that the lift tower jib at alpine is super cool right now. i like how it is out of the ground.
i'm not sure if i'm the only one, but i find it kind of weird that i find out more about the parks here on NS rather than on the actual mountain web site. i guess its cool cause we hear about it here, but still, one would think that the mountain would want to promote their good parks.

If you think about it though we are the right crowed to talk about the park with. Mountain web sites tend to draw more of the family type user, so thats what they gear towards. Getting the customer to come to your mountain is the hard part. Us park guys on the other hand are already going to get out there. Plus using a forum like NS provides an additional way to give out info on the park, as well as get criticism on it. The parks are always changing and having thing going on any ways, making it difficult to keep up with on a web site.
We are really lucky to have our local mountains represented on this site. Even better when you can have an influence in what happens in the park, and know whats going to happen.

it all comes down to communication. sometimes as it is with resorts when there are multiple departments involved communication isn't always as it should be. in regards to the main sites for Boreal and Alpine, update info usually passes through 3 different people before it gets to our webprovider for update. for updates to our myspace and jibassicpark.com if just has to go through me. so when I get too busy driving cats, making snow or whatever else needs doing then it's my fault for a lack of timely updates. I added some new photos to our gallery today and there are several video edits almost ready to go just waiting on music rights. we developed a cool web based system this summer to make updates much easier but our webprovider wont give up that control to allow us to run it on our own. so until the corp heads decide to let us move that system away from our main provider its just easier to get the message out there through forums like this..it comes straight form the horses mouth and builds trust and credablity among all of us who build the parks and you guys/gals who ride them.

that sounds real nice. maybe mellow out the lip just a little bit. that is just me though. would be cool if the table got a lil longer too. But either way it is a super fun jump and props to keepin it good with such little snow!!
