its hard to tell how big the roller is in the picture. for the snow that we had this was about the best i could do for know. should be enough stuff for the kido's to play on for know.

nice to see. but why is the battleship a ride on. would be so fun if there was a gap to the rail. also is that the same a frame that got ran over by the groomer years ago or is that a new one. anywho nice to see some stuff set up at wilmot.

what i still dont understand about wilmot...why does everything always look so shitty. Concept311 im stoked on what you've been trying to do the last year or so but seriously... why is everything always so shitty? look at the take offs to those rails, pushing a blades worth of snow up to a rail and leaving it there isnt how you do it. You guys just got a new cat, so i cant belive you guys arnt getting cat time. Long story short, take some pride in what you're building, make it look professional instead of some rails litterly thorown onto snow piles. And tell the old guy he's still a bitch and still cant make anything worth riding.

On that note, wilmot has come a long way from the stunt ditch and mailbox rail...i just want to see it live to its full potential. I'll be out next saturday (20th?) good luck on getting snow and cat time!

Your above statement is somewhat true. It isn't all the groomers fault, what i don't like is the people that work the park. they need to start grooming the features more frequently. that's not just about wilmot it's about every park. i was at SB yesterday and their crew was fixing a feature all night. i rarely saw them riding. it was nice to see because everything was perfect the whole night. if every place started grooming their features before they get ruined then the features wouldn't get so run down and janky. But a rail needs to be put in correctly for it to be legit in the first place.

And yes I remember those days. that mailbox next to the ditch was the place to be. and only about one or two hits were good in that pipe but it was so fun hitting a pipe and getting some air those days. wilmot was the shit.

Alittle update. I was there last night for about 7 hours worked more on one of the jumps alittle more to go hopeful tommorrw night (sat) I can finish it. They made a shit ton of snow for us which is great. Also made a spot for the Huge Whale tale (Rollercoaster Kicker) hopeful the landing is steap enough. and a spot for the urban when that is ready. as far as rails last night we put out the box top, C-box (smaller of the two), 2 benchs = a Flat down.

Today there where soppesed to get a mini exervater out there to set the rest of the rails with. I will know more tommorrw after i go in town work.

The whale tail was dope but in the future can there be a tiny gap between the begining of the rail and the jump coming into it because it was hard to get on without having slanted momentum which pulled you off to one side

the park manager and is "park crew" who ever that is should be able to make it like that just cut the back of it off to make a little gap. its super hard for me to judge how close iam to a rail when iam pushing snow torwards.

I belive i bent the end of the box top with the blade last night opps oh well.

that really depends on the alignment of the planets....number of gapers, and weather or not park crew picks up a shovel that day.... Maybe yes maybe no....good luck

stop all the hate if you havn't been there. why don't you go ski wilmot and see for yourself then bitch if you have to shouldn't be much to bitch about. most stuff i have seen up in the park this early and there are still more rails and more room to build more snow features

the DFD rail last year i remember had a crack in it at one of the kinks. i believe it was the first kink. didn't effect the rail sliding but it might be something to look into fixing if it already isn't. and i can't wait to see what wilmot looks like when the park is fully operational.

what is the s rail made out of? sounds like a stupid question but i'm interested.

they actually have a fairly decent jump up probly around 30 feet? Rails are the best right now...

here is the park setup on the main run (not in the trees in hideaway)

Flat Rail                                      Small roller

C Box

Flat-Down Box                         Jump (30 ft?)                          Roller Coaster Box

                                               Up-flat-down rail                       Wide Flat Box

Small Jump (5-10ft)                                  Mailbox-set up down with a street takeoff

park setup in hideaway-in the trees

small flat down box

small jump

spine

They had alot of other rails sitting on the sides of the runs and at the bottom of the park near the fire pit so hopefully some other new stuff up soon?

i only hit those first run of the day but they were nice because they kept alot of the families/lessons/little kids somewhat out of the bigger park. It looked like they were being used
