^35 bucks but it includes lunch. if you dont want to compete you can just pay like 15 bucks to session which reminds me the stair set and the summer jib area will be open but the contest is not on either of these setups so you can sesh these during the contest

jea

is the jump in the same place last year?

whaleback is my home mountain and its great, but it did suck all last year how if you wanted to hit that kicker you couldn't hit ANYTHING else. i just felt nothing was positioned very well, so you could only hit like one rail or jump per run. is it set up the same this year?
thanks
