All the rails need to be set in about 10ft uphill from where they are, that way when you land you can actually catch a tranny. The up rail is the only rail that doesn’t hurt when you land.

yeah alot of the rails in sunntanner looked like the landings were hard. The only stuff i hit in suntanner was the fdf and the rollercoaster. BTW never hit the rollercoaster...EVER. That shit fucked up my ski. The first bump is fine, but in the down part, where the seam between the lexan sheets is, the second sheet is higher that the first sheet. I fell twice on that. After hit the rail hard the second time and getting the wind knocked out of me, i look at my ski, and that screwed up my lead edge. I pretty much was hanging out in the tryolienne park and those rails were nice. The i popped off my ski at the end of the day, and the brake broke. They second day up there, i saw a kid with green pants, white jacket and volkl walls. He was tearing up suntanner.

they had the groomers on suntanner all day today reshaping all the jumps...so look for a little something new for this weekend hopefully

also they added a nice box at the top of smoothie and reshaped the jumps in there to make them not shoot you straight up in the air...the are super nice now

not done yet....the jumps are looking like there will be 2 takeoffs on each hit and a little bigger on all jumps

it also looks like there will be rails going down the skiers right of the jump line. should be good if all this rain stays away.

it's also not done so i'm just saying what i can see from the lift
