okemos pretty lame as of now.

features in order:

-12' flat box
-5' flat rail
-12' rainbow box
-15' Flat GAP down box
- tire jib/stall (most fun feature... sad huh?)

i sure hope okemo steps up their game. other parks are SOOO much better when it comes to early season parks. Mt. Snow takes the cake for THE best park in the east right now. i mean fuck... their FULL park is open, okemo has a couple boxes BARELY exceeding 10 feet. its fun for a couple days, then it gets lame real quick. from what ive herd okemo "works thier way up" with their park. starting easy and getting bigger and bigger features as the year passes. first of all. experienced skiiers and snowboarders want good sized features that are trickable and not 2 feet long.

yeah I was kinda bummed. I got a pass at okemo this year specifically because their parks are usually pretty legit. hopefully they'll get better soon.

was there anything that looked good setup for the rail jam?

Not today...it was real soft, visibility was a little rough but you could see far enough ahead to launch rollers and hit their features...coverage was real good too
