Replying to Crested Butte Park
Don't go anywhere near that mess.
Don't get me wrong, CB has a sick mountain and it's been going off all season, extremes are where it's at for sure. If the snow is whack though, don't bother stopping by the park to see how it is. That is a foregone conclusion, the park blows.
For example: The first hit, a crooked jump. I think those things are being built elsewhere and I'm sure they are fun, having options to hit it as a hip or just taking it straight on...however when the take-off is steeper than both landing areas...that's bad right? The pipe isn't bad this year, in fact, it's pretty decent.
Just shred the extremes, and skip the park. Even with DC on board to "overhaul" the thing, nothing will ever be done about it. They would have to get a new staff for things to change. I know that there is a lot of red tape from the resort ownership about the parks, but if someone on park crew or a groomer knew something about building a good jump....things would change dramatically.
