alright, so what next for the mar, I want your input... I know some things have to change ie. rail setups (flat landings), take off width being to narrow, mini park lacking, the hiring of twats (not rich or steve), fresh beats, what do you think , booter line and rail line, or combo? keeping in mind the difficulty of having good flow on such a short slope. Whatever you have to say bring it, just don't be a dick.
Peace

went to dag saturday night it was pritty good but a just a suggestion for the jump...
instead of having a really long mellow jump i think it would be better if it was shorter and stepper jump so it could pop u higher and u wouldnt need to have as much speed
but the landing was really nice i thought. did u need to winch it to get it that steep?

we need too... as much as its a sick idea, no one is ready this soon into the season to hit it... in 5 hours of work tonight i didn't see one kid clear it even once..... i hope we will make it smaller, then maybe on a month set it up like that again, the idea was so that you could spin off

we measured the first jump out to be 35~ of a deck but that was with estimating teh size of a shovel and repeat laying it down but its a general idea, lots of boot of that thing its really nice.... and the second one is smaller but still fun just to do something fun off of

i was there today, i didnt hit the park much i was with beginner friends but i think some sorta qp or barrel jib at the bottom of the jump line would be rele awsome, otherwise its looking great!

they made a quarter pipe with a long pipe at the top of it at the start of the baby park. super fun feature. hopefully we can see one in the big park sometime soon.
but if it is in the big park expect getting snaked almost every time you hit it. i can see it being one of the buisiest features in the park, and it is SOOO easy to cut someone off on a bonk where you come down in the direction you came up.

well it would still be fun as hell but yeah probably best when its not rele busy am i the only one who wants to build a kicker right down at the bottom and jump over the fence into the parking lot?

that barrel stall is the funnest thing there IMO. the last two tonights (wednesday and tonight) were SO shitty with face shots out of snow guns, and freezing cold weather. 99% of my runs consisted of black barrel stall, to blue barrel stall, to flat rail to round rail to flat rail to box rail.
The big park was rediculous.... but look for new and improved things starting tomorrow and throughout the weekend. :)

The jump is being rebuilt....the landing has been made longer and the deck longer as well....their will be two take offs with a distance of around 40ft on the big one and about 25 on the smaller from end of takeoff to knuckle....If everything goes well with snowmaking and grooming...it should be ready by friday or the weekend.....yep...

Serious? Everyone in Ontario has been blowing snow the last week, especially since it's been cold and the weeks before that were real warm. Last year they had guns going till late January too.

i think it slowed things down a bit on the jump line (or i just suck, probably that) but yknow everything was in good shape and it was a fun day and with another 5-10 in the next 24 i would think sunday would be a good day to go

skiers left side is 50ft to the landing, skiers right is 35. It is what it is... and that is a big ass jump. the 50 is the best Ive hit this season. Its one of th biggest jumps around this season for sure.

its easy for dagmar to stay open because it is so small...the only thing is whether people will come out...so i would suggest that you try and come out so that you will have a longer season....this weekend especially...

must say, yesterday was one of best easter weekend skiing conditions ever. It was probably equivalent to the best day that last year had.
