Upper Jonesy's/ Park City Update...

First, Thanks for all the feedback! Sorry it's taken a while to get back on here. We've been pretty busy.
Upper Jonesy's will open on Monday unless some unforeseen breakdown occurs.
There will be anywhere from 14 to 17 new jibs in Upper Jonesy's with two medium sized jumps. The focus is on jibs in here... There will also be a small line to left after the dog leg. Some small jumps and easy jibs...it willl keep people who aren't as good off the medium jumps hopefully. The park is sort of for everyone between Upper and Lower Jonesy's.

I know you guys want jibs on Payday and we do as well. We will start adding them around Wed. of this week.

I'll let you know what else we add from there for King's and Pick next week!

By monday, I think we'll have around 65 features total including jumps.

Jonesy's was fun.  I would prefer a couple more bigger jumps than those gondola cars though....or even some more rails....werd

The first jump is mellow for a reason...it is a medium jump without much kick... We've had a lot of people ask for this. Goto Pick if you want something different..also there will be another feature to the right of the first Gondola... That will be the rail line after the second jump. Pretend like the gondola's are not even there if you do not want to hit them...We are changing top of Upper Jonesy's a bit and hopefully will have it dialed in the next couple days. We will also being adding boxes to Payday for night skiing soon. We will add something below the last gondola and the last rail on upper jonesy's. We have to push some snow around to determine how much we have to work with, which will dictate what we put in that spot....

I also like the 2nd jump, I wish that they had another jump just like that but bigger somewhere.... IT seems like there are no jumps bigger than 30 feet but smaller than 45 feet...which sucks imho

My last post came off sounding a little ungrateful.  I realize it is a ton of work and I really have been stoked on the park this year.  I feel like we are all being pretty well taken care of this year. There is a lot of variety. Gracias.

Yeah.  Something I noticed about the landings for the jumps in Kings lately is that they're starting to feel a little flat.  I'm assuming when the cats roll through they just till everything, and rarely use the blade on the landings.  I think flatter spots are developing where everyone is landing, so they're feeling a little flat. 

Jim... is there a Kings revamp soon just for the landings where perhaps they'll be pushed up a little steeper?  The landing of the last jump is super long... but if you take it more than 10 feet past the knuckle it hurts a little bit.  Would it be possible to steepen it up a little?  I think since it's so long people will still have a hard time overshooting even if it's steep.

working a late one tonight! Yep. no worries. we plan on winching, which makes the landings steeper in case anyone is not aware of this, the King's landings tomorrow night, friday. Kind of crazy up here right now...it's raining at the moment!

Riding in the rain was epic. Soo stoked for night rails!!! Also would still like to see a bigger starting hill in kings. I'm just a little guy so I have to start back by the 2nd rail. And its a little un-nerving not seeing the jump dropping in on it. It makes me nervous wondering if someone may have gone down on the landing or anything like that. Super sweet set up though! You guys are killing it!!!

Thanks for the super fast response.  You're killing it, and I hope this rain turns to snow and doesn't put a damper on the set ups.  thanks.

No worries at all....we haven't been able to winch the landings on King's yet due to the wet snow. It's been horrible working conditions for the park. We should be able to steepen the landing tonight in King's with the forcast calling for colder temps. We are going to close King's today in order to make it easier to workin there tonight. With the weather being warm today we want to presereve the condition that it is in. This will allow us to focus on the landings and not have to re-work a bunch other stuff in there. The weather is not so good today anyway and I imagine most of you wouldn't be in there if it's open....thanks for understanding.
