I have never been to this place in CT. Always go to VT instead.

But wondered if they have a decent park. They make you take a test like Stratton to get into the park...but you also have to pay $10/season.

Maybe they take pride in the park and it is worth checking out?

Anyone know?

I haven't been to Sundown in a couple years.

Their park was always good but heavy on the jibs and not enough jumps.

I like rails, but need some variety. For the distance to Sundown, I can actually be at Mt Snow in 1 more hour.

they had the jump at midstation, I think its 25 and 20, then they had the bigger one for the main event, where the "big air" was a few years back that was prolly 60 feet and was real sick and carved out, but Im almost positive they plowed it last night.

sundowns park is decent right now.  went today, couple flat boxes, long smooth down rail, big dfd rail, fdf box, 15ish jump, little up rail, batteship rail, big red setup down, flat down box, and jared built a pretty big jump today like 40 maybe but couldn't open it yet, probably will open up for this weekend.

has anyone noticed the obscene amount of douche bag snowboarders at sundown?  always shouting shit from the lift?  they're really obnoxious.

Let me rephrase that, there's alot of douche snowboarders in CT/MA. The farther north you go, the fewer assholes you see.
