Correct, but if you can go to Breck they have about 15 really well maintained jumps for all levels and a sick superpipe.  They also have about 10 very well maintained rails and boxes.

I'm at keystone right now and the park is nasty!  Some huge jump lines and a bunch of pros were hanging out there today such as White, Danny Way, Hawk, and Kelly Slater.

too big. i'm convinced the third jump on the big side will be too large for the amount of speed you'll have coming off the second jump. has anyone hit it?

I highly doubt they would build a jump you couldn't get over.

The jumps are huge and i know they are too big for me.  but I've seen plenty of skiers and boarders hit them fine.

I heard the Keystone jump builder from 2004 and 2005 was given the cat to build the jumps this year just to make Breck look better and show you how good you have it.

Keystone's jump in 05 and before were death traps.  They were flat take offed, step downs that were setup horrifically.  Maybe Keystone is bringing back that to make Breck look good.

The transfer was in 05-06, when the let Breck's jump builder build them.  The seasons before that Keystone's jumps were death traps.

I wish they would stop making that stupid mini pipe in the middle of the park.  It's such a waste of snow/effort/space.  All it does is bring gapers into the main park under the main jump line.  They already have a pipe open anyway.  It'd be nice if they were working on getting some rails set up in the middle instead..

they should add more jumps after the big line. like a line of three mediums with rails on the side after the big line would be killer. and elliot cone, who built keystone jumps the last two years (did i get the name right?) is now working for snow park tech.
