I don't have any info about Sunday River, but I doubt that'd happen because Sunny Breeze went out.

I DO KNOW that Shawnee Peak won't be hostin any rail jam this year. Their park ranger (Josh) told me that they won't be hosting one. There still may be one but it certiantly won't be hosted by Shawnee. Best bet is at Portland Expo, they have one like they did last year (thats the one Shawnee hosted) but some ski shop in newry (not piste off) hosts it. There's rumors they may host bit but who knows.

Shawnee blows. I hate it there so much. I spend half of my time there and half of my time at SR. Shawnee has an okay park on a good day. They have a flat down (the landing blows) Rainbow Rail (nearly impossible for skiers to get on) 65 foot rail (best feature there) 25 and 35 foot jump, Rainbow box. & Cannon box which isn't even possible to  silde and clear because you cant get enough speed to clear the 10 foot gap between the rail and landing. Yeah, thats Shawnee for ya.
