actual park:
-table about 20 maybe 25 feet with battleship box beside it
-stupid up box gap flat box thing that is ridiculously hard ot get on skis but hten again its a snowboard park because all the park crew are boarders
-fucked up DFD rail that no one hits because the kink results in death to extremeties with a 20 25 ft step down beside it
_ at the bottom either options from a down rail, tire tap, a frame rail

the lips are kinda shitty especialyl on the step down hard to get balanced and pop becasue of the ruts and unequalness

mini park has a bunch of dumb rails and boxes which would be good if they had lips but they dont

The DFD actually has a story behind it.
Who ever built it for them messed up the angles, so they offered it for a discount. Glen Eden took it.
I personally think they should've declined and demanded a rail that isn't impossible to ride.

not sure about chronics, but corbetts had anthems for somewhere in the 300's. Considering they go for 399 on evogear, thats a pretty sick deal

was up there today, park was better than i expected and allowed me to try some new shit.
Landed my first 5, no style, but still stoked.
And also got very close to a 360 safety grab, got my hand down, almost grabbed.
and threw 3's of the step-down for the first time.

still not consistent with the 5's though, sometimes i can only throw a 3 or 450, but im working on it.

well i was up again today.
today the jumps had a bit more kick then they did on Tuesday but the lighting was horrible making it harder to spot your landings. and it was freezing.
not the best day for jumping.

also they put in a new flat bar next to the up box flat box thing.

i was there aswell today for a wee bit..
the new flat box was pretty good although set up at a different angle than the lip which was weird, the jumps were ok but the 1st jump was not good way to soft/speed issues/ knuckle was all weird..the second jump had a sick lip to it and just kicked you straight up which was bomb

the line there is not too bad for skiers now, you can hit the flat box den the jump which they made stepup and is actually fun to ride now then the down rail, if they put in the a frame near the top instead of beside the down rail which is stupid youd be able to get in four hits which would be nice

kay first off that table is maybe 10 ft, def not even 20

the park is shit because the park manager from last year left cause he was fed up with the managements bs, so they had to get someone else, and the new kid is lazy, wont install rails or fix or maintain the setup, and all the park staff they have now have no idea how to fix a jump or rail, plus the guy thats actually in charge of the park wont lift a finger and just comes to work and sleeps in his car. I would be highly appreciative of anyone that would send in a complaint email, they guy to harp about is kyle as he is supposed to be organizing the park, but hasnt done anything yet so far this year, the park has gone from bad to simply dangerous lately, its sad. I wish theyd put a little more time into teaching the park staff how to build proper lips for the features and maintaining them, cause the park does have potential.

glen eden is only 30 minutes away from where I live (oakville) so its better then nothing.  i try to make weekend trips with friends up to collingwood, mslm or horseshoe, etc.

the DFD rail is so sketch, ive only seen a few people hit it up.  pretty much everytime i go i see like one park skier besides myself

I wear a foursquare adams jacket 9-5 pattern (white and green), k2 silencers 09 (red ones), grey helmet, grey oakleys and black snow pants.  I have a bunch of stickers on my helmet so if you see me, dont be afraid to say hi, would be stoked to talk to some skiers and maybe learn a thing or 2...i pretty much go every friday or saturday, will be there this friday.

It actually did happen though earlier than had been planned and it was not really announced. During Squire John's they had a tent up, that was it, sad yes, hopefully they will get their act together for next year.

i think glen should stop putting up weird shit like that dfd and start makin normal stuff
they should slice up the dfd and make it either more mellow so its not fucking suicidal or make something completely different
