actually rumor is bousquet is gonna have a good park this year
no jumps over 35ft but it might still be nice
they just need more boxes/rails to make it nice

who said that, cuz today i saw liek 6 rails laying on the ground all from last years and most had bent or broken supports (it sucks when kids think bousquet sucks even though it does now but it used to have the best park liek awhile ago)

is all this really gonna happen or is everything gonna end up being sketchy like it was last year? i garauntee if they just asked kids to help out, every kid that goes there would donate their time to help re-build the park. when i skied there when i was younger their park was the best around, and over the years i have watched it disingrate. its a shame.

ok so i know a few people from around here are from pittsfield or the surrounding area and ski or have skied at bousquet in the past. for the past few years the park has sucked but i have some really good news for everyone, two of my good friends and graduates from the lydon state college terrain park management program have been hired to work at the mountain and make the park. they both have alot of experience in the field and have been working all summer on building new features. bousquet is finally going to have a good park again!

I worked there all summer and I know the kids they brought in. You're a fool if you think bousquet will ever drop the money to support well maintained jumps and change it frequently. It will literally be the exact same thing with maybe a few nicer rails. The park used to have 80 foot jumps and according to the owner about a month a go; the insurance company doesn't allow jumps over 30 feet. I've had high hopes for bousquet since i was like 10 and they let me down every year.

haters gonna hate just wait and see, its gonna be different this year. i grew up riding at bousquet was back in the day and i want it to be good just as much as anyone and to the comment about not having a jump over 30 feet, you dont need huge jumps to have a sick park
