So I really, really wanted to go skiing today, and the only option would have been Blue hills, but I had to work on college apps.  I'll prob go this friday with my team, but I was curious if anyone knew how good their terrain park is.  I just want a few rails/boxes for early season.  so whats the 411 on Blue Hills people?

haha i literally live 5 minutes from blue hills..

they usually don't have jumps at all.. or if they do it's extremely shitty.. but for jibs they have:

DFD flat bar rail (somewhat small)
trap box
flat box

and they also just got a 24 foot down rail that will be set up urban style.. hopefully they got a few other things too.

it's my understanding that they will be open from tomorrow on.. made a lot of snow with these cold temps, and it also says that the "terrain park" is open, most likely a few rails.. so I should be there 3-4 times a week just hiking the rail garden.

if you go to blue hills.. just hike the park.. it most certainly is not worth paying for a ticket.. there are only 1-2 trails and get boring after your first time down..

i went last week and they had trap box, flat box and down rail.. all were maintained pretty poorly.. esp the ride-on urban lip.. and i saw that they put the DFD rail but im not sure if it replaced anything.

it's a pretty good way to kill about an hour or so.

also if you wanted to take the time and effort...they dont scan....and their passes are easily duplicated. just something else to think about

Thinking about heading down there after work, before the ice age hits this week.  Anyone know if its proper right now, or a waste?  I dont wanna go if its not maintained.

ohh and watch out on the jumps landing, i got screwed on that. once a snowboarder lands they just carve imediatly to the handle tow making a mogul so watch out if youre doing 1s or anything. i was doing 1s all day then went into the lodge to check on my friend (i think he broke his arm idk what the lastest news is) i went back out to ski some more do a nice japan 1 and stomp it and then all of a sudden my tails got caught in the mogul and double ejected me backwards. i go up again ang go off the rightside of the jump and straight air to aviod the mogul, land it and then my tips catch another stupid powder moul with my tips causing me to yet again double eject me to a faceplant. so there is a lesson to be learned here watch out when you land!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

new pics on facebook! they changed the down bar to an elevator (kinda ride on) they fixed up the trap box and made it ride on, they set up the dfd, and where the 5 ft table stepover used to be they now have the "pleasure pipe" which is a corrogated pipe set up like an elevator. (painted the base to look like a giant dick).

looks siick
