They could put two big Breck size jumps right where the pipe is. There would actually be speed for them, instead of going across flat to get to the current jump line.

no point if
1 noone rides pipe.
2 they cut the pipe like shit
3 it cost like 10 grand a year to make and maintain and really noone rides it
if they got rid of it they could make 2 large jumps and maintain even better which would make a lot of people more happy

1. it will never be good beacuse its 100 percent man made snow, it dosent get enough sunlight on it. and even during the last days spirit is open only half of it gets soft enough to ride. Plus even if they did have a good pipe, i doubt it would get as much use as a longer jump line.

If spirit is going to get rid of a feature the pipe is not the one. The showtime set up is basically worthless in my mind. The few days in the year that it can hit is not worth the many days it sits.

My idea for spirits park is to have the two jump line/ more of a slopestyle course where the pipe is now and move the pipe to the bottom right of the hill. The inrun for the pipe would be less, but to me, loking at the slope in without snow it appears to be wide and steep enough, or atleast equal to whereit is now. It has a natural wall on one side saving some money in snow needed. And by getting rid of showtime the ammount of snow needed for the two top jumps could be equal to what they are using right now.

Think about if the pipe were at the bottom, everyone would hit it. Right now it is a choice, jump or pipe, the whole park or showtime. Let's get two jump lines, close one down if needed for comps, have one continually open for the public. And all ride pipe once we hit the bottom. Oh and the rest of the showtime space can become the rail garden. We do need more rails.

I do not, but I have spoke with some people about getting these meetings together.  If anyone hears about a scheduled meeting let me know.  I'm out of town for the next week and a half so if these have yet to be planned let's get it going after the 25th of aug.
