its basicly set up the same way from when you where there last. I wanna give that jump a whole lot of wu tang it can only get better. there is a also a jump in to bunny glen that is pretty big. I work on thursday night out there so I will know more after that and let all of you in on what is changed

its legit..the rails are damn fun..they got sum fun flat rails and the kinked rails are fun..and the jumps is pretty legit..except the speed issue on the bigger jump but the smaller one is fun..

I'll be there saturday
The park is excellent, with an extremely large variety of rails
As for the jump, do you think it would be possible to make a step-up or is it too much work especially with the lack of snow?  I personally love step-ups, so much easier to learn on

its worth a try. there is a bunch of snow above the jump i might just have to rape a bunch from above it and in between the jump and the whale tail.

is everyone cool with one take off for the jump the same size or a hair bigger then how the small side is set up? cause i know there is no speed issue with the small side.

let me know what you guys think

I think this would be a wonderful idea.
If you were to do it, I would say make it a hair bigger
And what if you put an infinitesimal p.o.s. kicker off to side just to try and keep all the wee children from ruining the jump?  If not though w/e the step up idea sounds great

not sure never really measuered it i know some of the guys where having a hard time getting speed to hit it. I deffently made the big side to big for the amount of space there is from the top of the run to it.

I know when i 'm sitting on the deck of the jump with the Groomer its as long as the groomer with the tiler droped on the snow.

i say hells ya to the 1 jump and make it bigger, why not!! the step up would be amazing but it seems like it would be very hard to make considering that they cant blow snow for the rest of the season but that would be hella sick if there was a way to make it

im down with one lip, i was also wondering, is there any way to put up some sort of fence along the sides of the inrun to the jump? it might help to stop people from cutting all the way across the run and then stopping ontop of the jumps...
