not enough snow in the early and mid season and when it did come in the late season they decided that it was too late. they will probably have it next year

they had so much snow, they probably could've built two more big jumps

it's better to either put a lot of work into it and get it in good shape or to not put any work into it.  half assing it is frustrating because the effort could have been used elsewhere instead of building a superpipe with 45 degree walls.

They didnt push that much snow into it, the general shape of it is already carved out of the dirt.

true that. a mediocre pipe is a bad pipe
but they invested so much into it (dirt work, light system, snowmaking, and a crisp zuagg) that it is even more frustrating to see all of that to waste so easily.
that's partially why I only went to snoqualmie once last year (for pretz & polish donuts which was mega-crisp) because their pipe never materialized

this is true, but there needs to be more in the way of commitment.  i'm a fan of pipe, but if it ain't happening they could at least put a few jibs down the center of it for another line...

that's ok, Stevens pipe is a failure.  There is a needed hight for a pipe to work at all, and SP is sadly a few feet below it.  I don't understand why they don't build it up a bit over summer, can't take that long since it is short/mostly there already.

IMHO, both SP and snocrummy had better parks in 07-08 than 08-09(although that is mostly SP, because I don't know a ton about snoshitty).  We had bigger jumps in 08 in the pro line and similar everywhere else(except replaced some odd shaped fun jumps that idk the know of with barrel bonks in 09...eh.).  Next year should be a step up for both(SHOULD BE).

Stevens pipe spot is not steep enough to support a bigger pipe.

They had two lines through it for a while with a couple weird jumps at the end. They were pretty clownin
