too early to tell, its all dependent on the snowfall. last season they opened with 1 jump which was a big hit, so i'm guessing there going to push for a jump this year again

that 30foot jump was in the second park, the first park had two TINY tables, i wouldnt really call them jumps.

Highly unlikely.  Keystone did have a jump after a few weeks last year though, definitely not opening day though.  They had two 4 foot tall piles of snow that people called jumps though.  Their park is always fun early season.

Opening park will be on Frenchman... under the gondola. Second place it was last year. Apparently Breck is opening with Freeway. Heard that from a friend today.

We are expected to get 8 to 24 inches by Wednesday. Different weather than last season.

are you really saying that the possibility of 24 inches falling more than 2 weeks away from breck opening day is going to determine whether or not they have jumps?
for reals though i heard the same thing only it was gonna be on park lane.

That's where they opened with it a few years ago and it was way better because they didn't have to move it later.  It was a legit park from day one.  Opening with Freeway....?  How?  You need a 50 foot high pile of snow to make one jump in Freeway.  That would be so amazing, but I can't believe it.

Keystone apparently opening with 2 jumps and 20 features due to recent snowfall. It's on the Vail resorts website....

^I would hope the same, if not more, since they are opening a week later (on the 12th). First triple line in park lane along with various rails/boxes is what I've heard.........*what I have heard*. I don't work there anymore, but I'll be shreddin it the 14th and I'll toss up pics/info here.

not trying to be a debby downer or anything, but preseason jumps aren't worth hitting. last year keystones jump was fun but there were way too many people hitting it. the landing was pretty much ice not snow. my friend ended up blowing his shoulder up on that jump and he couldn't park ski for the rest of the season so beware

Well  if you are capable, that jump last year was a blast.  Dumont did a double off of it, and plenty of people were throwing some good looking rodeos and such.
