So I went to Edelweiss today. The park is pretty dope. Definitely the best jumps in the area. They have more jump hits than Tremblant, with bigger gaps, and more height. So here are some photos:

*** AFTER THESE RAILL HITS IS A STEP DOWN, WHICH YOU CAN BOMB TO GET SPEED FOR A 15 FOOT STEP UP, OR A 10 FOOT STEP UP, WHICH LEADS INTO THIS QUARTER PIPE.

not really. they took out the crap jump at the end of the line that had the short landing and no one uses them so they stay in good shape. but on the third one the landing is a tad shallow, thats it. otherwise i'd safely say they're very competable to what i can see in those pics. but go to edelweiss... please

Ah kk, i ask cause me and my friends are by no means good and most uf them are just learning park so its usually pretty embarrassing when theres like a stream of 50 ppl in the park.

O ya for sure, its not stopping me or anything, and we're not hiking up so we're not getting in the way and we always make sure no ones coming for a set before we go but there's always those who feel that it would be funny to make fun of the newbs even though we all sucked at one time and we're all trying our hardest. For instance i've only gone skiing 7 full days in my whole life and i still go as hard as i can knowing i wont be decent for a while.

The tire bonk is a lot of fun, the barrel isn't skier friendly unless you can pop/ olly on (un petit-peux sketch) really well. The 2nd jump from the top, and the bottom money booter are the only jumps I really like there, the bottom jump you can have issues getting your speed diale on, it's easy to go too far down the landing, and it's easy to lose speed coming into the jump because the lead up is so flat/ wind can catch you. The wall ride is fun as well.

All in all it's pretty good. There features continue to get better as the season progresses. I'm hoping they bring the 1/4 and 1/4 pipe stepover jump back at the end of the season.
