I've heard in past years its been shit (with exception to west coast session). Somewhere i heard they were going to work harder this year. But with the fusion you can hit tline up, which has nice parks.

Sorry I havn't been on lately... here is what we got going at t-line

Conways park is up, its early season so it's not quite up to snuff yet but 3 jumps. 20-25-35 feet in a row. followed by 9 rails. Wide rainbow box, up box, single bar donkey dick, down box, flat box, 2 C-boxes, another rainbow box and the down ledge.

We'll re build this wednesday night, and I'll update everyone on the changes.

And it's a good idea to check the web or snophone before coming up, we havn't had the park open the last 2 days becuase of a power outage and high winds.

doubt that about meadows. The c rails at t line kill, and all the boxes have high finishes that are good for getting those 2's off down

Skibowl is a bit hit or miss - Last night, Jessie's flight had the small rainbow box, 4 barrel metal ledge, up - down - flat box and a flat box in pretty good shape.  All the features on Govyville had been beaten to shit.

I probably saw you. i didn't stay till 2 but i was at t-line from like 9:30 to 11:30 then i went down to skibowl and was there till like 7pm did you bust the 360 on the jump? the kid who busted the 3 was like the only person i saw that cleared it and got to the landing.

a big problem at ski bowl is the public which doesn't know how to ride or ski park and so the jumps and lips get devastated..

T-Line's park is fucking money right now. Three-jump line (a bit flat) into two hips into a fleet of jibs, polished off with a really smooth, really big tree bonk that's basically a 20-ft sapling planted in the flats of a super-poppy table.
