Just to get a hype train going, my friend is on the park crew there and says that Mt. Ellen will have a jump in the park when it opens Friday. Hopefully they will open up a lot more rails in there too.

I'm hoping to get my 3's on lock tomorrow.

jumps are pretty fucking huge. mostly stayed on graduation today. hiked for a while with a few of you (blue tee, yellow pants, no really big tricks but a few tail presses)

anyone who hasnt seen the large park, it is:

down box or c box option up top
into a 15 foot step down into a stepover (30+ with lots of pop and a deadly knuckle)
into a multiple option feature including a hip on the left, a stepover in the center (40ish) and a smaller kicker making a 20-25 foot table (...perfect speed for most was from the top of the first landing straight into this one. lot of people were hiking this today)
the last feature is another multiple option, center is a 50ish and on the left is a 35-40 foot

on graduation there is:

banked box
flat box
short down bar with urban lip
short flat box (ride on) with a drop
then the option of a battle ship rail or up down rail
ends with a ledge/drop/headwall thing (great for butters)

I def saw a bunch of you guys today. I was in the blue saga top. I was trying to get my fs switchups down, it didn't really work, I almost did one like twice. When I was doing my 3s I got way too far in the backseat.

Yo bush friends.
I have some goggles I'd like to sell, and thought I'd try in here in case one of you were interested and we wouldnt have to worry about shipping.

I also had no idea what this "church" is, so I searched it on google.

taken from http://www.onthesnow.com/vermont/sugarbush/reviews_b.html?review_id=6042

"THE CHURCH -- this is the only off trail entity i will mention. you will see it every time you go up heaven's gate lift. it is the rock outcropping skier's right. you can't miss seeing it. now, the church is holy ground, mecca, in your adventure in skiing and riding. i only know of jon egan, the director of the ski school for having done this extreme terrain. it is a 30 foot cliffdrop into trees. i know more have done it, but that doesn't include me. you really, really, really better know what you are doing. "

I was pretty bored...

I was there today and the park is looking sick. It's mostly the same except their making a nice rail garden.

This is what they had set up when I left at noon:

Rainbow Box
Wall Ride
Mini Wall Ride
Urban style pipe rail
Normal urban style rail
Flat Box to Down Box

I also saw two rails that weren't set up.

That's all I know for sure, maybe they're adding even more.

They also made the step over a normal jump, but it looks like it would be hard to get enough speed to clear it.


As for the conditions today:

They were OK. We got a few inches, but underneath that fluff is ice chunks and weird funky conditions because of how warm it was.
It was pretty hard to clear even the 20 footer. My bro and I had to slip out the run in and the jump. After that it was pretty good. I'm pretty stoked because I got 3's with safety grabs down pretty solid. I also did the rail unnatural, and almost got my fs and bs switchups down.



I have a feeling that once the mountain gets skied enough, or we get enough snow the conditions will be great.



I'll be at Mad River next Saturday and Sugarbush next Sunday.

I think that he's actually relatively good because he doesn't spend 99% of his day on NS like us Liam.

i went today. the jumps are okay, a little small, but the light was wicked flat so i didnt feel like going crazy on them. the last jump kind of just drops you out of the sky which isnt that cool, not much pop or hang time. after this they have two wall rides facing down the trail so you can hit them as boxes or butter on them. they also have a rainbow box. after that they have a down rail or flat box option, then they have a flat down box or down bar option, then they have a down flat bar or c box on its side option. there are two small throw away rails at the very bottom.

great bluebird day today

they shortened up the last jump and shaved off the top of the kicker, but its still good if you just hit everything in a row and dont shed off too much of your speed.

below the jumps are:
large wall ride (slanted box on top), rainbow box, small wall (flat box on top), flat box, single barrel rail, down bar, flat to down box, down flat bar, c box (set up sideways to have some pop on the end), two rollers, and a small flat rail at the bottom before the mound of snow by the lift line (good to try hand drags on)
