I wasn't there as much this season compared to others - due to travel and that Steven was at comps and Summit County.

I really wish Boulder had a winch cat.  Seems to me the only thing missing.

Honest opinions are appreciated.  Let it rip!

yes, landings were extremely short in boulder park. but none the less, boulder is a lot of fun. only other thing i wasn't so fond of was the hip in boulder park. thats just imo though. but overall the whole mountain was prime this year

freedom was always a lot of fun and the setups were simple and well placed on the trail. the jumps on boulder, like others have stated, had pretty short landings for how big the jumps were. i know they've only got so much mountain to work with and have the plaza, but it seemed like you're entire run on boulder tail was based around 1 jump, maybe 2. I'll be up there for some spring shredding, and looking forward to it. i usually have fun at boulder.

I really think that the way to make boulder park "one of the best on the east coast" which just by having one big jump shouldn't make it top 5...they need there 3 jump line of course increasing in size with the money booter at the bottom...but they need a LEGIT rail line going down the right side of the hill...and the plaza has been fun i think until the trans am setup and then it wasn't fun anymore cuz everything was soo big and hard to hike

but overally boulder is fun as always..could use a few tweaks here and there ..ill bee there this weekend 28/29

i thought boulder was sick this year, especially all the rails and jibs.......but i really think they should do something with that hip, cause when i was there in december and january is was like a block of ice and kinda sketchy.....i know the guys at boulder will come up with something sick......

keep up the good work!

last time i was in boulder was sometime in january just home from colorado.  the park is deffinately wayyy sicker than any other park in the area, the only thing i would change would be more jump lines with longer landings.  there was only one decent sized jump up when i was there and it was so wel built i just think the landing should be a little bit longer.

It seems like their park crew is always working hard as hell. Either doing rebuilds or just maintaining the lips throughout the day. They packed the features in, you didn't have to spend too long riding between features. I had a lot of respect for those guys.
My only suggestion would be to get a couple of the more creative type of boxes and rails.

I never measured any thing larger than 62'  that was during the christmas break.  I wasn't there as much as in previous years.  BTW people  I carry a 200' tape in the truck to settle jump size arguments.  If you ever want to know exactly,  let me know - if you see me there of course.
