Replying to Meadows Closing Day.. Suggestions for next year

meadows closing day was clearly pretty abrupt and for most of us who have skied there all season, we can agree that some of the ways they maintained their parks throughout this year was pretty poor, ending with an abysmal attempt at creating a superpark. the best way for them to improve next year is provide them with enough constructive criticism as possible so they can make the changes that could easily be done. i've written alot in matt's blog, but doesn't seem to make a difference. anywho. rather than complaining about meadows and how they cut the season short, i was thinking we can use this thread to compile criticism of what meadows did with their parks this year and how it can easily be fixed.

some things to start off:

how long it took them to setup even a few good rails/ boxes/ jibs - while most of their good rails have been off to the side of easy rider for the whole season - finally by the end they set up the 60ft DFD and high cascade FD. if they have intent so set up rails like these, there's no reason not to set them up as early as possible in the season. while it would be ideal for them to set up alot more of the tight rails that are off on the side of the easy rider lift pole, it seems like that would be too much to ask of matt

post what you think. lets make this work..
