the jib set up is the same, dancefloor, picnic table, offset boxes, corrugated tube, down rail, u box. As for the big park, the sun peak chair just opened so the park isnt up yet. But there are some interesting looking pieces of plastic over there.

painted horse is full length. all boxes and 1 rail i think, with 1 jump at the bottom. i think we almost got 40 inches this week so they havent had any time to upgrade the park since they built it.

been pretty good lately, had some nice turns the past few days... park is ehh, not bad, dont like the snowblowers right now, or the fact that you cant hit the one rail they have and the jump... what they got is alright tho, lot of fun shit to play on all over the mtn, im pretty stoked for this ski season despite the troubles early on and the current snowpack... i think it will improve

9990 was closed but peak 5 was off the hook I was amazed at how much powder they had. I think for the first time in history they underestimated the amount of snow they got

There was atleast 10 inches of fresh all over 9990 when they opened it up.  Rode it right after they opened it at about noon and it was super sick.

when i went up saturday i got in line just before 9990 to opened mid-day and it was amazing. face shots and making your own lines on untouched powder for a good 2-3 runs. i definitely got lucky on that one.

Canyons Crew:

I just moved out here from Minnesota, and now I need a crew to film/shoot photos with.    I got all the gear and tools, now lets go shoot some sick shit.   I got my pass to the canyons but if anyone wants to do urban stuff in SLC or backcountry in the PC area I am down.  Post it up here or PM me and lets make some movies!

nothing specific, but steve was super stoked on it, and cooper hoffmeister, one of their riders was too, and just by looking at the rail yard it should be absolutely awesome.  the trapezoid c rail thing looks sooooooooooo fun.

was at canyons today.   big park not open yet and remains still mostly huge piles of snow.  They did have some features in now that i could see, including a huge tube at the top of the run which looked sweet.   main park was as crowded as usual.  

today wasnt as crowded as expected honestly.  saddleback had big waits at some points, as did tombstone.  anything else was pretty clear throughout the day.  9990 was kinda busy and there was alot of traffic in some of the points where runs pinch together.

Canyons January 17th from Hennie vJ on Vimeo.

thats the medium park, way fun. the bigger parks layout already got mentioned above and its pretty fun as well, if only they could make the jumps a tny bit steeper that would be way rad. ill have a new edit up someitme next weekish.
