ive always thought thatd be sick, but youd never have speed, unless you were to like make a big drop in off the side of tiger. itd be a cool spot tho, and WHEN!?!?!! who makes a thread like this with no dates??

talked to the main guy involved today and the plan is to have the jump go from buttermilk to tiger......i thought speed would be shit but i have an unwaxed snowboard and pointed from the top of the lift and was going pretty fast.....im not sure of what size the jump is supposed to be or anything......but with that hill as the landing it would be no problem taking a small jump very deep.....i suggested having a few rollers in the in run so you could pump them and build up some speed.....construction should begin thursday morning and as i know anything ill post it up here

Back in the day, we built a jump from Buttermilk to Tiger and it was awsome. This was in the 70's and the resort did not like the air we where getting, so they sent the snow cat up to take it down. The snow cat got stuck on tiger in the ditch to the left side.

Back then, jumps were not allowed to be built and all resort frowned on Freestyle. Now the place knows that jumps bring in customers and supports the sport.

This should be a good event for a good cause, so come on boys, let us see ya go big.

1.  i remember seeing that jump and it was big even to todays standards. which must make you at least as old or older than me. and 2. i bet most kids dont even know there used to be that gap between tiger and buttermilk

47 and counting.

Boston Mills says that after the big air, they are going to let Tiger Bumps grow and have a bump contest at the end of the year. Now that is gonna be fun.

Look me up and say hello, my twin 13 year olds are gonna be jumping and jibbing tommorrow. My knees gave out for that a long time ago. I am the tele skier with purple coat, grey pants with white T-race boots, K2 skiis and Bomber Bishops.

I may bring the grill and cook food and have adult beverages out in the northern lot.

Gotta love winter !

Yeah I was at Boston Mills this morning and it looked really well built.  The landing looked steep and really long.  I wish I could have hit it but I went to Brandywine.

the jump was pretty small for a big air jump, but it was set up nice and i liked the idea alot. lots of decent tricks being thrown around...and possibly the worst switch backflip attempt ever
