Since someone just bumped the avalanche thread it looks like its time to start talking about the upcoming season at Big Mountain!

Who's getting passes? Who's going to be shredding? What's the park going to look like?

Pray for snow!

Ill be there for sure.
I guess Ian(snowboarder) is going to be head of the park this year. Hopefully Billy Biolo gets on the crew too,(I know he applied) so damn, the park should be sick!!!
I know they arent gonna try and build the "hip jumps" this year so thats good.
Thanks for starting a thread though man, looking forward to how it goes.
NS is the shit.

That's good, hopefully they can redirect all that energy into the rest of the park, that would make it pretty darn cool. Also, that would be awesome if Billy gets on park crew.

Its been insanely cold the last couple days, hopefully it warms up. It has been pretty sunny though

Theres a few jibs on the backside which is super cool, first time they have done that in awhile.

New features in the park today

Flat rail and down/flat/down rail

Park is super fun to jib right now
The rest of the mountain is decent, this heavy snow kinda sucks though

Now that one of my comedy movies won a national award, I probably won't film any of you noobs this year. I might have to get some skiers who are actually good so my movies don't suck.

they have three little jumps in what i call the kid park, but i think they call it the depot.  They are pretty small, but fun to play around on.  They currently have snow piles on the mid section, and with this next storm rolling in i see monday as to having some usual size big mtn jumps.  For early season, the parks super fun to jib around on and get back to the basics.

Shout out to Beau for saving my ass and catching my ski while it was hauling ass down Whitey's today. I guess 180s off cliffs while it's so foggy that I can't see the landing aren't such a good idea.
