Opening tonight.  Not sure what they'll set up, but I was there last night and they had the mailbox rail set out at the bottom of the hill. 

One run opening tonight.  4 runs will be open by saturday.

Afton is fun for late season and if you just want to hit some longer runs, for me at least. haha

it's more like skiing than a skate park like most midwest hills are

I love afton. I grew up there, it lacks a good park compared to others, but its getting better. Rails are good jumps suck. Atmosphere is the best part about afton.
