word a 40 foot flat rail would be dope as long as it was set up nice and straight, a nice wide lip on, and definitely a nice landing, have it be a little downhill (flat rutted landings fucking suck)

and a 24 foot up rail would be dope too.. have it be a nice slope with a big drop for some nice floated spins.. also have a nice downhill landing.

other than that i dont even care what is up, a flat down box would be prime though.. i could session those 3 features for hours.. and for the kids that can't hit that shit just set up some smaller stuff to the side for them to play on.

I can see if the terrain will allow for a set up like that, where I'm working this year has a little steeper pitch than shown in the example, then flattens out. The flat down box is the closest thing I have to the middle feature shown, but I can tell you guys want a nice line to flow through, I'll do what can be done with your suggestions.

 Not sure on the jump guys, it may committ too much snow, but I'll see. If it's anything like the last Memorial event, there was tons of people, the less features there are the faster they get torn up. I saw a photo of windhams pile of snow, we have much more (my opinion).

 I'm in the shop working on 2 new features that I hope to have ready for the event, I said hope, there is a lot of preperation that needs to happen and I'm doing it all solo, but I have all week to do it.

word. all i know is that most of the "banger" kids are going to windham i think.... and then the rest to Mt snow on sunday..so might be less crowded then you'd think



is the jam going to be actually on the same pitch as the pipe? cause it seems like that would be super steep for rails .... mellow is always more fun and easier 2 sesh in the slush but yeah either way really looking forward to Saturday

The area of the pipe I'm using is at the bottom where it drops off so the pitch is way steeper then mellows out, you dig?

 As for the help, thanks for the offer, I'll I.M. you guys if some of my others bail, I won't know till like thurs, I want to plant on Friday, can always use a shovel brigade. 

 If that crew wants to go south where the snow melts faster and there's less if it, then they can miss out on the full snow coverage, their choice.

as long as we have either the 40ft flat, or the 24ft up things will be so solid. Everyone I have talked to wants that.

I even know like 20 kids from windham who will treck to stowe instead if those are set up. I will be there friday to help shovel if needed.

the more cams, the more footy there will be for edits. Everyone just needs to get in touch with one another after the jam and throw together a sick edit.

^bring your cam anyways, just in case no one else does


can always trade off filming and get some shots

as for film bitch, I would also be happy to throw some $ down , hook it up with beer or whatever if theres anyone who would be interested in sessioning/hanging out / filming us for most of the day . i just want some shots Editing is what i do best

you ever been to a late season jam? A 10ft by 10ft pile of snow is enough, shit a single pick up full of snow is enough.

Pretty sure the skiing is gonna be more fun then the BBQ :: )

But yeh the drinking will be fun for sure as it always is.

THAT SUPER WIDE SHIT IS SO HOMO FUCK THAT BOX.

but to be serious, adank and I will be there friday to help out the stowe park director to set shit up. he has been super legit and it looks like the 40ft flat and the 24ft up are a go.

Only downside is the flat got damaged when they where removing it, don't know how the fuck that happened prolly some newb behind the cat controls.

Either way I wanna thank the park director for being mad legit about this and hooking it up with what both boarders and skiers want. Gonna prove to be an epic jam.
