i was there a few days ago...same set up....but if you havent been in a while:  small jump at the top, like 10ft.  at the bottom they have another set of jumps.......there is like a 30fter next to a 15-20 fter maybe...and next to those is this cool little step down feature which is really fun.   boxes- flat box, DFD, weird up box, flat down (down part is steeeppp), umm, and like a battle ship.   I dont remember the rails.

it seems like they close the jumps pretty early because they get sloppy really quickly.  There are also some other cool little jibs, and the mini park has two super fun little rails.

But the snow is slushy....really sticky, make sure you get some high temp wax or your gonna be face planting.

Basin was stellar today,  sunny, but stayed cold enough to keep the snow pretty fast. Jumps are pretty good and Exibition had some sweet slush bumps. Most of the stuff thats open is covered well, and their gonna stay open until June 7. They don't call it the LEDGEND for nothing.

If you're only go to A-Basin for the park, you're going for the wrong reason.  It's a great mountain overall.
