We have a 50-60 foot hip right now and we plan on pushing as much snow as we can find into this thing!

It is actually a huge spine because you can land to the right and Left and it actually hits the best going straight over the top like a 60ft table,

We will also have another takeoff in the front right corner,(separate from the feature- A cheese wedge jump so you can gap the whole feature to the landing on the left or back of it  for a dual landing option and a straighter takeoff for swtich tricks.   Its like a huge Spine with two separate takeoffs

its everything a comp and so much more. Yes you can just come and ride everyting and watch.

I belive for superpark you have to just buy a lift ticket and a superpark ticket which is needed to beable to ride and compete so you have the option of competing or not.

Brandon, this is the spine/hip to copy as far as takeoff and landing angles.  I'm dating myself here but wasn't this like 6-7 years ago?  Best jump Marquette ever built!

There will be normal jumps our middle and Little parks will be untouched, Contour (middle park) will have 7 jumps.

The Chute park will have start jump into a step-up style jump, (no idea on size) until we push as much snow as we can.  then we are going to plow over the middle chute jump into the bottom jump like last year for a HUGE showcase jump Bottom of Chute

Those of you who came last year will be excited to see CHUTE jumps because we DID NOT have them last year!


I will post pics of the features as they get finished, but to try to post pics of our park would take forever.... we have 20 jumps and 30 non-snow features!


I just purached our materials to make Capes for 1st-3rd places... we're gonna bedazzle the Shit out of these things.

To reply to a few items:

The contests are free with your superpark ticket,   so you can do only one or all three its up to you.

THE Marquette Mountain website does have waivers for anyone underage to print off
www.marquettemountain.com

THe K2 Log jam is  a small feature at the bottom of the hill with 3 log features... hitching post , log bonk, and a cannon log!..... similare to the ladders, tables, and chairs match from lat year

Can we get a confirmed, 100% sure answer whether or not the ski comp is on Saturday or Sunday? I know a lot of people are confused about this and have heard different things.  Also if you can post pics of the setup, either completely done or close to done skibmc, that would be greatly appreciated by all.

i would be able to answer your questions about the features, but our hill is on spring hours - - meaning open thursday through sunday. i was last there on saturday, and it looked like things were starting to get pushed around. the rail line on snowfield should be legit. as for the hip...when i last saw it, it was still a big pile of snow. depending on what they did to the chute line in the last 3 day, was/is awesome. i heard rumors of them re-pushing the take offs and making the landings steeper, but who knows. and soo on thursday i might be able to get some pix (not that that is any help)

the comp and everything else is on sunday. as for the cheapest place to stay? i honestly have no idea. if you guys no people (not volunteering any names) hit them up! i know i would welcome everyone into my apartment, but there is honestly no room with 3 other roomies.

get up here though, is def worth the drive. since i know all you southerners arnt skiing.

saw the big air jump this afternoon.

all normal superpark hype aside.......this fucker is huge. 68 foot deck---stepped out. 80+ foot landing. its a big hit.

the hip also looks like a great time.

rail line is up, there is a up flat down flat down that looks well set up, with side take offs onto the dfd. if i hit the hip tonight with bmc and crew i will let everyone know how sick it is.
