wow that thing is pretty epic. would love to ride it soon. interesting to see how it holds up though and what type of people hit it. hopefully no one that can't ski hits it and wrecks themselves so they keep it up a while.

heres what will happen to the butter box....

1. damn snowboards will make thier trenches on the take off followed by bombing out the landing

2. gapers will kill themselves

3. ski patrol blows it up

Guys, it's basically 2010, enough with the bitching about snowboarders!

Let them continue to hit the middle and if you have the skill set, just hit it on the sides, and you'll always have a better landing as well.

Worry about the rain if anything!

And pray for the snowmaking crew to get an entreprenuer's work ethic and not that of a union bum.

LOL entreprenuer LOL.   Kyle Martola knows his shit, I'm pretty confident in his abilitites. He'll be one of the best things for sunburst parks.ever.

And also, yes this butter box will probably get raped by snowboarders

butter box was terrible. too small

it was a 5ft gap to the roller or u break your ankles. from the last launch to the landing is bout ten feet but very hard to go that far.

They've got a few new things up, a 2 really nice green handrail/double barrel, one thats short, and one thats longer. In sprecher, they got the park bench set up, which is really fun, also a c rail, 2 jumps which are really fun, but landings kinda suck, icy, but not terrible. oh and they have the butter box. I might be there tomorrow, but not sure yet.

sprecher rails- rainbow to flat, then the cliff rail, then a somewhat up rail to finish

i hate to disapoint but the a frame will never be up. it hasnt in 2-3 years. ITS BROKEN. you can see the remains in the tall bushes by the pond along with the battleship box, a battleship rail, and the halfpipe groomer

im talking about the Aframe Box that they sometimes setup as a flat down. it has the sprecher logo on the side, it was up last year forsure.. and the cliff rail seems sketchy, i wish they kept the bench up.
