"Suntanner will be closed as we begin to prepare for the U.S. Open, which will be held March 17-23"

Everyone get your SES PASS for the mini parks. Stratton is a bunch of pigfuckers.

this is true and quite sad to be honest. but it'll be worth the wait to hit the us open course when it opens up. from what i've heard the slopestyle course is going to be sick....as long as it stops raining

this year you have to pay for a pass to use the us open course. I won't participate, just because of the principle of it. suntanner was fun while it lasted.

does that mean they're going to keep the course in good condition until closing? usually they just let that shit fall apart after the comp and any photo shoots.

dammm....suntanner was so fun this year and they had so many sick rails and stuff on it they should atleast make the min ipark under the 6 pack bigger/bigger rails like it was earlier in the season and make smoothie have maybe two rail options at the bottom? they should move some rails also to the medows and maybe make a few small jumps there but watev stratton is so fucken cheap

they need to change shit up more often as in at least once a year
their parks stay the exact same from the time they open to the time they close

I don't understand why they need to take down all those jumps, why cant the snowboarders just roll over the deck like normal people? If they just put one good sized jump, like the 4th one now, i would be happy because without it I'm going to have to ride shitty ass old smoothie for a month.

My buddy works on the park crew and he said that Suntanner isn't coming back. Does anyone know if they are leaving the open park up?

They are trying to save $$$ on snowmaking, they would rather take down their entire park for one big air contest then blow snow to build it. Fucking pathetic.

this is the only solution.  no poles. trains.   hit as many gapers with snowballs as possible.  piss everyone off.  it shall be an annual newschooler tradition: remind strapon to quit fucking us.

Not that it matters...
...Burton is the main reason that Suntanner gets destroyed.  No it won't be back so thanks to Burton for that too.  Oh yeah, the Open park will be kept open and yes there will be a charge.  I agree with you guys and If I said everything I think about this situation I would prol get fired.  Cheers, = (

Oh yeah, I got to ride Loon 2 weeks ago and the parks there were sick!!  -props!

i know you might not have any idea, but why on earth is there a charge to ride the open park, i mean, they took away suntanner, which is pretty gay because it left us parkless, and then they are going to charge us to ride suntanners replacement, it just sems kind of wack

Yeah, I already bought a seasons pass and it's fucking absurd that I should have to suffer while the main park gets ruined, and then pay MORE money just to go in the new park. Is there anything that can be done to avoid this, how much will it cost, etc?

its 10 bucks a day, which is really shitty, i mean most people ssay its just 10 bucks w/e, but really, i bought a season pass which cost a shitload for a shitty east coast mtn, and now you are charging me more to ski your park. Everyone should just poach it, question, is the big air jump being left open to the public?

I absolutely agree!

P.S. I hear the woods in the sunbowl are great for sneaking snow stashes around the fence in spring time!
