Replying to SNOWSTAR (its no joke)

T_K:
SO- as i was telling some of you this weekend, snowstar is going to be sick this year. I know most of you have never heard of it, but i figured i'd make a thread about it. Snowstar is on the Illinois side of the quad cities, about 1.5 hr from dubuque. i have no pics so this is what we will have this year. oh yeah and its tiny, so we will just fit in as many of these features as possible, it will be features everywhere. no lines, you can easily get 2 runs per song on your ipod!
OLD:
-40ft flat rail
-stair set with down rail and down box
-big ass whale tail (prolly won't even get set up this year)
-urban style down rail, double barrel
-lots of other small shitty stuff
NEW FEATURES:
-HUGE rainbow box that is dope, probably 15 ft. out of snow when its said and done
-8 new flat boxes
-quarter pipe-box material with coping
-mellow up-down rail, 15ft up/15 down-double barrel
-triple barrel down-flat-down....7x7x7 or so
-40+ ft long wide rail (former lift tower) has had wall ride sides added to each side

there is more that i'm forgetting. lets just say we have features out the ass. we also got a new cat this year which is way more park specific than our old one. also, they let us set stuff up on our own, for example, saturday morning we set up two boxes and had a private hike only film session at the top of the mountain. the park crew is also willing to set stuff up however we want it. basically, its sick as hell. everyone should come check it out at least once this year. this video is about half of the new features, the DFD and the up-down were just built in the last month or so.

sorry this post is so long, i'm just really stoked for my tiny mountain to be incredibly sick.
