i bet they both will have a flat box and small dub kink and a flat bar.... maybe a corrigated tube and a mini jump? breck will be crowded but well maintained, keystone will be more crowded and less maintained

keystone had way more than that 2 years ago, and breck had a double line 2 years ago, guess we'll just have to see, but i heard a rumor of 30 features at key.

But, they will be on top on one another with bomb holes big enough to eat you.

that'd be a tight squeeze unless they got a few lanes open

it depends which run they use, if they go back to the run next to the gondola there's way more room.

I heard rumor that Breck was opening with a jump line, and I heard keystone will have a mini jump line too... 30 features at key would be sick, but if they put it in the same spot they did last year it'll be sooooo crowded. It's only a few days away though!!!

I emailed breck asking what features they would have this weekend and here's what they sent me back:

"Most likely there will be no features open this weekend.  However, Mother Nature will determine how quickly features become available.
Think Snow!!"

And, keystone was retarded. Pretty similar to last years early setup so about 30 features but pretty tight spacing. It was fucking great in the morning but was getting way too crowded in the afternoon. The had riverrun open to the bottom and the new gondola worked way better than montezuma and downloading did last year.

Also heard that breck had nothing set up, didn't actually go there since keystone was pretty much awesome, park crew actually kept it semi decent too, no bomb holes I could find.

Breck had 4 features today. 

A down bar, looked like a massive ollie on.  A mellow DFD rail with a ollie on.

A flat box, and a DFD box.  It was fun, but nothing spectacular.

breck has 4 features. two boxes in a line (flat box, downflatdown box) and then two rails (down rail, down flat down) Both of the rails are urb style / decent ollie on. Good fun, super easy to hike, not too insanely crowded.
