a flat bar is desperatly needed, down flat down handrail would be nice, not just the dfd box we have, battleship box, a-frame box and maybe an up bar

hey paul   you guys should seriously get some small-ish features set up for whenever opening is.  it sucks waiting like 3 weeks to hit park stuff and most other mountains have stuff up.  come on! doooo it!  :)

I can definitely look into it.  Only makes sense to have something set up, just to pass the time and freshen up......Ill let you know what kind of response I get tomorrow.

So I checked into the pre-park opening mini setup and that request was denied.  So unfortunately everyone is going to have to wait a bit longer.  As of now, all the small park stuff is locked up.  The only feature available right now to jib on is the black tube, which a skier and 2 cute snowboard chicks sessioned today....

Pray for snow....Im out....

Yeah..no real reason, other than there isnt really any park staff on the mountain.  But besides that IM trying to swindle 3 pieces of telephone pole from Fortis/PEI...they did a whole reline of poles and Im thinking if I can get like 6 scraps I could make a couple of jibs.. basically have 2 Pi shaped bonks...

It was snowing pretty hard today when I left the park...hopefully some of that snow is adding up...

if anyones keen, the big black tube is set up again with a new kicker (better than the last one).

it took 3 of us (2 guys and a girl) aout an hour to pull the fucking thing out of the creek 2 weeks ago, its gotta weigh 300 pounds. yesterday me and a buddy moved it about another 10 feet uphill to give a bigger run off zone (now much harder to hit tree on right).

enjoy, tell noone.
