hey, does anyone have and information regarding the park city NorAm competition? I am just wondering if it's still a go or no? I've been looking at the webcams, and like no snow making on the pipe, so just wondering, it's in two weeks or so.

Well, since i'm always the bearer of bad news,  chalk this one up.  The president of the resort has pulled the plug on opening the features tomorrow along with not opening three kings lift.  So don't come up expecting jumps and don't get mad at us for it.  We haven't been given a specific opening date, just maybe later this week.

^^  I'm liken the new park set up a lot.  The down barrel is super fun and the wall rides especially are more fun now and make more sense.  Well done.

Ya,  sorry. 

The low isn't supposed to drop below the mid 30's tonight from what I hear, and there is a chance of rain tomorrow so I think it's a coverage issue they would like to resolve before opening the lift and then having it rain and wash away some snow.

But, have fun with homerun, we are hoping for lower jonesys in 2 - 3 weeks.

Yes the snow has been good to us.

We are planning to open the following terrain for tomorrow (Sunday):

Bonanza Lift:
Homerun
Bonanza Run
Muckers
Belmont
Crescent
Silver Skis
Mid-Mountain Run

Pioneer Lift:
Sampson
Comstock
Red Fox
Hawk Eye
Woodside
Mid-Mountain Run
Flat Iron
Shortline

We will possibly open Thaynes Lift mid-day tomorrow with service to the following runs.
Keystone
The Hoist
Thaynes
Double Jack

We are hoping to have Silverlode and McConkey’s lifts open within the next week.

In addition to the terrain opening, the Summit House will open tomorrow for the season at 9 am with snack and beverage service. A limited food menu will be served from 10:30 am until 3 pm.




As far as lower Jonesys park,  it's a wait and see with more snow.  The more snow we get the sooner they will turn the run over to us.

The pipe got it's first cut and then the cat broke.  It is too warm to blow snow right now, so we can't make snow for picknshovel right now until this storm rolls through.  rather than say here's a date we are thinking, i'll just say stay tuned because it all depends on the weather...

Jonesys?  that opened already.  Pick is the small park, and will be built accordingly this year.  Crown is the medium park and will have varying features, and jumps from 20 to 50ish.  Jonesys is the large park and Upper will have large features in there.  As for specifics, don't know yet.  sorry

Not exaaaaaaaaaaactly.  For people that absolutely blow at pipe(me) It could be very helpful in the process of learning new tricks!

The 10' pipe is just to get people used to being in a pipe.  which is why it is in the small park.
