If you were up there, go ahead and post what features were up.

Cheers.

as of sunday. c box at the top.then two jib lines, on side with a up pipe then a double pipe rails (both new i believe) then two little two tiny bumps/jumps. or the Pipe tower rail thing to the propane tank and the two small jumps.

they had the smaller jumps open, looks like they might be close to finishing the bigger kickers?
terrible landings on the smaller jumps,
then a box to step down to box.
and a down box and a down rail

yup.. it was a fun first day of park for me

they need to get some kicker s going the little rollers they call jumps at the top are pathetic and the landings suck ass because of all the fucking boarders who think they can get air land on their asses and create moguls... But besides the jumps some of the rails are pretty fun....

Has anyone hit up Steven's park and how does it compare to the summit???

Alot of nice rails and boxes set up, no specifics. a few small jumps if I remember right. 

My guess is Waterfall is around 30 right now. so about the size of anything snoqualmie will get up all year, and pretty well maintained.  They need to start pushing up snow for the bottom jump though.

Stevens has a 4 jump line up top which is lacking speed...

8 or 9  rails

waterfall is super smooth.

That was as of saturday but they are getting new stuff up each night I was told so should be killin it by this weekend!

Or go to stevens because the boxes/rails are still good and snoqualmies jumps cant compare

yea, but snoqualmie is nice cause all the jibs are "hitable" in one run.

at stevens you can only hit like 2 or 3 per run.

From what I saw on the lift the upper park had the same set of mini jumps, the propane tank, lift tower, a butter box and a few other things. They were starting to set up the 6.0 car. On the bottom half there were 3 smaller jumps, and on the side next to the jumps there was a dragon box, a rainbow and a single barrel that would launch you hella. (I have no clue WTF its called). There was a FUF box, two boxes with 4" drop in between them, and a few down or flat rails and boxes. I think that's it, I was only on Central Express once so I'm not possitive.

they also have a 20 foot+ c box at the very top of the park but i never got to hit it cuzz you need a park pass... IF anyone plans to try to ski the upper park and you dont have a park pass your screwed because they are really cracking down this year which kinda sucks... but if you go night skiing they never check you for one

No, it doesn't suck that they are cracking down on park passes. You should just get one...

Honestly, there's NOTHING worse than when you get little kids, asians (no hate), and just suck ass people cutting you off and tearing up landings... the park pass is a good idea, and I personally think they need to enforce it more.

"Dry pasta began in Italy and embarked from there to conquer the world. People have attributed Marco Polo with having introduced spaghetti to Italy from China, but that is incorrect. Mediterranean people even before the Romans knew fresh pasta, and dry pasta was unknown to the Chinese."

more:
"The first recorded evidence of Roman connection to pasta appears in 1st century A.D. in the writings of Apicio, titled " de re coquinaria ", when he narrates the use of " the yielding lagane to enclose timbales and pie stuffing ". However, one thing is for sure that the hands that first kneaded the dough for pasta was not a Chinese. The romanticism surrounding the myth that Marco Polo brought pasta to the Italian shores on his way back from China is pacified by the fact that it found mention long before the explorer's arrival. It is believed to be around 1279 A.D., when an inheritance draft stated that a certain person has bequeathed " a small basket full of macaroni ", widely acclaimed as the " dry " pasta."

A 4,000-year-old bowl of noodles has been discovered at an archaeological site in western China, possible proof for the argument that China invented pasta before Italy. "These are definitely the earliest noodles ever found," said Lu Houyuan, a researcher with the Institute of Geology in Beijing.

The discovery of the delicate yellow noodles in Minhe County in China's western province of Qinghai is reported in this week's edition of Nature magazine.

"Chinese people say Marco Polo brought noodles from China back to Italy and Italians say they had noodles before that," Lu said. "All this has been based on documentary material, on personal accounts and menus. But we've been unable to find any actual material, until now."

i was up there tonight. alright set up. still got the 3 small jumps at bottom. the lips were shit from people riding over them w/ the soft snow earlier today. they have a pretty legit jib park @ top, they switched things around a bit and busted out the like 30ft tube on top of a spine. also got the rollercoaster box out, and the kink d-f-d rail (closed tonight though for some reason...). bunch of other stuff too
