They have been working on this for at least a week, maybe 2. Most stuff isn't fully built yet but there is going to be some MASSIVE jumps. There is a really really dope looking big ass step up and enough snow for some stupid huge jumps below that. Looks like its going to be sicker than Breck's course. I don't know what they'll have for rails, you couldn't see from the lift. Hopefully the weather will be a bit better than the last stop.

Right, but I guarantee they are going to size down the jumps a bit.

Heres the update written on carinthiaparks.com:

The Dew Tour slopestyle course is nearly complete, and we were able to get a sneak peak this morning. First up on the course is a choice of a flat rail or box, both about 25' long. Up next: choice of a large battleship box or another long flat box. The next feature is by far the most mind boggling: it's a 60 tabletop, with the choice of a traditional wedge takeoff or a 10-foot flat box sticking out of the takeoff, cannon-style (see daily photo). It's nuts. After that, competitors have a view of the finish line as they approach the last 3 HUGE tabletop jumps. Think you could handle it?
For complete Dew Tour details click here.
The Nitro park will be closed until Thursday for a park rebuild. The fan guns are on full blast today, building up some nice whalebacks for the crew to shape into sweet new jumps and rail pads. You must check out The Gulch while we wait, there is a super-fun roller pack that are just itching for you to throw 180s.
Park Crew also plans on piecing together The Junkyard, the hike-able rail and jib playground to the looker’s left of the super pipe. Expect propane tanks, stair sets, bonks, and other stuff you would typically find guarded by large Rottweilers.
Another chapter of the Carinthia Report has been added to the video section, so make sure you catch up.

check the site for a pic of the cannon box. thing is nuts

it does suck for the people who can ride those giant features and have fun on them but for the most part they are a huge risk to the resort and could possibly have many law suits from injuries off of them or watnot so i understand where there coming from but it does look so much fun and so sick

park crew lists the mammoth jump as 90'

its every bit the longest jump they have had in the middle of main in years... the lip is pretty mellow tho, they usually have it way more of a stepdown

apparently it was actually 105' about a week ago until some snowboarder got pretty messed up on it so they brought it down a bit

jump pics are up on that gallery. It looks so sick, pretty big, not sure if it is bigger than breck though, hard to tell from the angle, looks like the jumps have some wu-tang on them though.

Honestly I don't think its getting streamed anywhere. I'm gonna be shooting slope tomorrow though. Was going to shoot Pipe prelims today but it wasn't even worth it.
