the jam will be on snow, plan is to groom the snow out early saturday morning, 3 - 4 rails/boxes, practice starts at 10am, comp at 11am, awards/prizes to follow, even with the recent warm temps, the snow pile is still holding, shaw and the crew will have a nice setup for the event on saturday

Keep an eye on the Event Calendar.  They are doing summer jams - this year they say they have twice the carpet and are putting more jibs out.

Yeah - the park/marketing guy has a good "stoke" going on. I think that his him above dlsnow - they were very pleased with the increased attendance this year and gave specific shout-outs to the skiers who attended.   Wisp is a destination resort with everything imaginable, skate park, mountain boards, rock wall, golf, kayaks, mountain biking - I am sure I missed a few other activities.

There is a definite growing trend towards artificial slopes.  Bryce down in Virginia is putting a summer terrain park in, for example.
