They have the park built on the bunny hill.  Nothing on Danny boy yet. 

Sweet spot is coming along.  They have a 30-35' table built down the hill from it.  and have a tiny jump like 5 ft up.  As far as rails they have the up flat down box, a straight rail, a flat box, two skinny boxes butted up to be flat-down, and a corrugated tube angling up. 

This was as of last Sunday.  I will be up there tomorrow and will let you know if they made any changes. 

The snow has been very good.  Pretty much been riding pow all season so far.

Also Bohemia opened today and I heard it was great.  Should have a lot more open next week too.  I couldn't make it up there with finals coming up next week and all though. 

We have had a ton of snow...seriously buckets for how early it is.  There is real good cover everywhere.  Most of the days so far have been pow days.

by the time you get up here sweet spot will be done, a typical pete style tombsoten table is already up, 30 feet on the nose,  and they have some gnar for rails after that.  the snowboarders insist they can make better lips than the cat can, so it's all kinda narrow and jank, but it's still fun.  my favorite feature is the flat rail set up urban style.  it makes no sense to me at all, but my ollie muscles are getting stronger.  Danny boy might be done by the end of break, the hill is really close to being 100 percent open right now...
as for bohemia, it was pretty good on friday, but i won't go there again till it storms.
and who needs park anyways, lets ski trees all break, you got those p4s coming, use em, (they are pretty dope in the park too)

The only thing I don't like right now is there is really no rails to warm up on.  Everything is setup pretty narly.

yeah, snowboarding may be the future of skiing, but being a harpooner really has its perks.  first and foremost you don't have to rock a switch bandana.
