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?

I went in the morning from 9-1. I think i saw you on the way out.

Today sucked.The park was closed for like 2 hours for grooming then the grom snowboarder camp thing started racing on it and they kept the jumps and rails were all blocked off.

I drive by everyday and get a very quick glimpse of the bottom of the hill.. it's really weird but I've seen a green paneled down rail.. i think they may have just re painted the one that was blue? it'd be so dope if they got a new rail.

Just got in from BH. The set up is:

From the top of the park (about half way up)

medium jump

Battle box

kicker w/small gap up to butter box(snow) with choice of urban(round) down rail, flat box or flat rail.

quarter pipe at bottom with a small corrugated just before it.

Pretty fun set up. BH guys were maintaining; salt etc during the day.

i know they still got a bunch of snow left, esp where that park was.. they'd definitely have enough to set some shit up for hiking but i could see the managament being really homo about that.. or even the park crew doing it but not let anyone else hit it.. i live 5 mins from blue hills so i'll go scope that soon.

FYI last year we went after they closed and set up a backyard rail on the beginner/magic carpet area. Sessioned for about an hour til someone saw us and immediately got booted out.

the blue's open again. dinker of an 8 ft. down bar and a lil barrel jib with mad kids filming 5 foot long corrogated tubes, it was comical.

the 2 good rails they had last season (long down bar and dfd) arent up yet...

i was there today. they have the cannon rail and the top big jump is hittable and if you get speed from the very top you can easily gap it. its a 42 foot gap where the cannon is only 32 feet. the two small jibs at the bottom, a tire and corrugated pipe are really stupid but still semi-fun. its worth a trip up there. reccommend 1-5 because the lines are shorter.

i was there sunday. they had a decant park, but not all of their features where set up. They had 2 decant size jumps, the larger of which never opend and the 2nd was either a 20 or a 25. this led down to the battleshi box, then the down rail. to the propane tank which was set up like a spine.
