1.) who has already been up?
2.) opening day hopefully next saturday. its lookin good.
3.) speculation on the park. when will it be up this year? will it be bigger/better? ideas for tyler (or whoever).
4.) the expansion. any questions/ideas...
i know it sounds kind of like a school assignment but im just trying to start some discussion.
also for all the others from other mountains NO HATE please...

tyler is trying though. the two things the park needs that will help with other problems are space and money. and he hasnt been able to get either of those

park sucked today. was a massive clusterfuck of gapers and packed rutted landings. fortunately, i was in the expansion building a jump. so much fun! park should be full strength next weekend...

why not bigger/better jumps? what we have sucks. dfd and tall box were super fun though. looks like tyler is stepping up the jibs this year.
NEW IDEA: PARK PASSES!!!! the clusterfucks of gapers from last weekend and yesterday combined with the incredible amount of sidejumping i observe every weekend as well as people who ski like its a normal run and sit in landings and generally dont know what theyre doing have convinced me this is necessary. this is probably not feasible with the "family-friendly atmosphere" but im tired  of people breaking etiquette. its not always this bad but sometimes it just sucks. if nothing else this will force people to observe the rules. so everyone in favor start talking to the crew when you see them.

eh. not sure really maybe 30ft min gap on the biggest one but its better than what weve had. plus tyler made them more like mogul jumps than normal for more air. the right line is really fun
