um...15 ft? how about like 5 ft at most. gold king has only 10 footers and thats a medium park, the mini jumps are tiny but well maintained

ya gold kings jumps are the best for learning. so so smooth and good distance, but forgiving. the third one's landing is like 100 yards long too so you can't overshoot if you try

i took it deep, but that landing's huge (for the size of jump), if a did a full tune on my skis and it was a fast day i might be able to clear the whole thing, wilson style.

right now gold king has a flat box, then two jumps in a row, first one has a big lip for the size and a steep landing, second one is a table.

then theres a c rail or a mellow up-flat option, then a really mellow flat-down, then a small down rail

then another jump with a big lip and a long landing

the smaller park has 3 5 foot jumps in a row,a nd some small rails and boxes, and a line of rollers

hit up keystone instead if you can, it's beginner park is much better, 4 flatish boxs, a couple easy rails, and an alright small jump line.

eldo is so fun to play around in/watch gapers get 'air' off of the rollers...but on the topic of gold kings jumps....has anyone not landed on the deck/roller on the second one? i bombed it from the top and still cant get on the landing. and i love the last jump in gold king, it is soooooo smooth

Yeah brecks mini park was fun, i never really ended up skiin park that much cuz they got snow the day i got their but it was still well maintained. The park at vail is pretty fun too, they have some pretty long boxes that i had fun on. The jumps were shitty though, no pop at all. But Breck was sick. I skiied snow white, i think it was the first day its ever been open and that was super fun

I never had a problem getting over it, it doesn't take too much speed. Maybe you hit it on a wierd day or something?
