so i was just told the guns are going on in the pipe soon as well as thruway. I guess the pipe will get going when it gets cold again. We will see if it happens
pretty sick start to winter. there is also a storm rolling in saturday night lasting through sunday

Today was crazy, knee deep and face shots.  The first jump is real nice.  I wish i would ahve speed checked it, over shot it but it has perfect kick to it

up to 2 feet sunday to monday morning. maybe i can make that jump a ittle better. it just needs a litle more snow. We are blowing snow in the pipe right now. If the weather holds I would say it could be open in around 3 weeks.

that would be insane, but on a different note I think you should put a few jumps on lower thruway because brrokside is really lacking good places to put jumps I think that if you used thruway for jumps that would be super awesome

agreed, a three jump line or something like that on thruway would be amazing.  If possible i wouldnt even put anything for rails up there, could you throw the c and s rail on the bridge before the c box?

yeah that'd be so sick, they wouldn't even have to be big, they could be like the 4 jumpline in Park City only 3 jumps instead of 4

how about double takeoff on each jump-
20/30 into a 30/40 into a 40/50

it would be kinda nice to have a single take off on big tables so that gapers dont track out the landing like no other from hitting the small side and sliding down the whole landing on their heel edge...but that would be amazing to have that idea right there because i dont think whiteface would be able to keep a whole trail for only big tables... Think of the first table into the second into a huge booter maybe 10 feet bigger then the big one at the end of the season last year.  I would cream my pants......No matter what they end up doing im looking forward to it


Oh and any news on the DFD box

Oh yeah i started work on the pipe today. we need quite a bit more snow. Also, I will be working on thruway next week hopefully. You guys better appreciate this cause i think i am getting some sweet new video games for christmas that i wont get to play for like a month. as soon as the pipe and thruway are done we have to go in to world cup bump mode.
