i think those 1/4 pipes are worthless.  I hate to say it, because I bet PC spent a lot of money on them, but they suck, and kill the flow up a run.  whatever though.

they need to put the disco box where it was last year, and some c boxes or rails in there. the set up of rails need to be redone

I don't think putting them in the same spot as last year is very progressive....but something a little different than last year and a lot different than this year would be cool.
Regardless, I definitely had fun on them, coming down from the pow day.

ok so the QPs are pretty pointless, i didnt see one snowboader hit them either, which i feel like they are meant for. The jumps are fucking perfect, and well, the last one is just scary kinda cause you gotta mach into it. As for the hip.... you can get speed, just stomp the last jump.
Props to PC on jumps tho.

It's pretty disheartening hearing the jibs suck because that's pretty much my sanctuary now.

There could be way better things like c boxes/rails or an s box instead of the QPs at the top.

I'll just be fully honest with ya...Kings blew big nuts today.  We just went and built a booter up on pine cone ridge, and ski patrol said we couldn't have a defined jump.  So we headed to this natural cat track type thing half way down the ridge, packed it down, and boosted.  Mucho tomahawks.

Ya I was on the lift and watched the boarder just hit the knuckle and bounce down the landing. Pretty sure it was a broken back. But that jump is nuts def breaking people off.

ok ok ok so everthing is good except for a few lips to the rails... the big jump is fine, its just that the landing is pretty icy and the knuckle is really big, but just get the right speed and its gravy

I agree, I think that the 4 pack is awesome.  At first I didn't understand why they put so many tables so close together, and I liked it better when they had 3 bigger tables in a row there (like 2003-2004) or whatever, but now I am totally digging the 4 pack because there is no guess work on the speed, and now that they are building bigger tables in Jonesy's it is all good.  I am not going to lie, the huge bottom table in KC kind of scares me, but maybe that is because it is almost like a step-down and it is huge, but whatever.   My 1 real complaint for how things are going in the park thus far is the over-use of boxes/qp's and the underusage of rails.  What happened to all the C-Rails, S-rails, D-F-D rails, Trapezoid rails, etc.  Also, where are the c-boxes? C-boxes are money and there isn't one to be found so far, even though there happens to be like 100 qp's all over the place.

I liked that C-rail/wall thing they had at the top of Kings two years ago.  And the skinny f/d/f box. And the flat bar d/f/d.  All those rails at the bottom are set up with jumps so big if you pop at all you'll clear them, the quarterpipe things aren't that cool, and yeah--I would like to see better jib features.
