Ya it's still pretty slow but the park is so sick right now. The jumps are perfect the cannon rail is tight as hell and the big jump is so sick so floaty.

Moguls on Exhibition

As for the park, Takeoffs are nice, landings are too short and don't match the angles of the ramp, very flat and washed out.

They are ok, landings aren't the greatest, especially last jump.  The middle jump is decent though.  The 40 ft is nice, except the landing is really short, but its a really floaty jump and really fun.

For sure man next time i go up to granite i'll do it cause now the jump is smaller and i don't think i'll be able to do a double but if they make it bigger then i'll do it again or when i go to granite in like 2 weeks

I was just there this weekend, the last jump wasn't as big as it usually is, but it was for sure bigger than the big sunburst jump.hopefully they make it bigger.

^ he's right this baby is big and it's got some serious compression into the ramp because of the speed you need to carry.  But the landing is soooooo sweet. 

Please keep the joeys off it because it will throw you into a backflip if your hands aren't in front of you. 

We were dropping from chair 3, hitting every feature up top and flowed right into the money booter WITHOUT a speed check.

Robby won't be out until Tuesday's close at which time he plans to flatten out the in-run a few feet to help eliminate the G's.

Sorry can't seem to get the picture to post correctly via a img file.  I can only see it by double clicking in the thread above.

I heard some skier was throwing a dub front and back on it yesterday

I want to see video!

I don't think you're dealing with a full deck trying a dub back!  A front maybe.

If you're a skier you ride chair 3, if you're a park rat you can take that slow rope and clog all the flow of a run and congragate next to the park bench on your traverse/hike over. 

Which ever you choose just respect the guys dropping from above who have the right away and encourage others to be mindful of how they merge with faster traffic.

Enjoy and yes it's been a long time since Sunburst had snow at the bottom to make a jump like this.  They only made snow in sprecher once all season:-(

snowed twice as much last year but either way the jump looks good, just a little sketch since the park is so flat to begin with.   Where do u get speed to hit it from?
