the pipe was 22 feet for the grand prix until they decided they didn't want to cut it anymore so all the soft snow slush from the soft days filled in the bottom, now we are left with an 18' pipe that has a folded angle in the tranny.  AWESOME

the park is alright too, i mean it's decent but the two main problems are it's more or less (with the exception of a few jibs) the same as it has been for the past 2 years, and ohh yeah we don't have a jump that is bigger than 30 feet.

yeah they deff need a bigger jump. the first one in dream maker throws u high but the jumps in the jump line are fun but they cant make them bigger because you wont get enough speed. Sometimes i need to skip the third one to get enough speed for the fourth

truth they do just have so many sick rails just sitting on the side of the park, people are just popping on and tapping them they are so close to the trail but for some reason the only place you see the park crew is doing laps... weird

ya killy is my home mountain and every day i get more and more frustrated ....the jumps are OK i feel the landing need to be bigger but the park crew just doing laps really pisses me off....the weekend of the grand prix there was only 2 jumps in the whole park cuz they needed more room for the comp and the park crew did not maintain the ANY of the features all day....not once....got me really heated cuz the jumps were getting all rudded out and getting shitty and i sucked becuse i was amped on skiing and like hucking and stuff but the jump was so shitty by then i could not really...pisses me off end rant lol but i do really like the size of the park and stuff....killington is great i love it you should visit lol

Yeah, I was there that day and I completely agree. Heard lots of complaints about those jumps - the first one in particular.

yeah the other day i was there and the two top rails in dreamaker were closed, there were shaped lips that had corduroy from a tiller and looked good the edges just had not been shaved and spray painted... but the park crew was doing laps on the boxes next to the closed rails.. pretty rediculous but thats how it is every day so why should i expect more? i mean doing your job? i guess it's not a reasonable thing to expect from the killington park crew

Lol, loving the Killington hate in here.

I love how they also rebuild a whole slopestyle course for a pro comp., just to knock it down right after and claim "liability" while all the other Northeast resorts keep their courses open to the public afterwards.

the reason killington does that is because there is only like 12 people who can actually  ride  park.....most the time its just like a million gapers in the park....but they totally should have kept the grand prix park open
