We've coerced the media to keep people away because it's so epic.

Cruiser and Jigger were open and became very icy. The park should be open by the weekend, we put up a new flat box and new flat bar, set up as a down rail today. I imagine they will start making snow on more runs soon, but I wouldn't bother making a long trip out unless it storms between now and the weekend.

currently, the park set up is:
Large table with nothing built on it yet
a second table with a large pile of snow for a jump
Third table with a jump set that needs tweaking, and a very nice new flat box
Down rail on the left which is in limbo since it is apparently made of really soft metal
Next on the left is the old C box, ride on, followed by a very short battle ship box or rainbow box option, both with very flat landings
On the right is a pretty good jump set, I would say 15 and 25 feet
At the bottom is a wall ride set up in kind of a hip fashion.

Wednesday morning pre class pow slash was sick!

High speed is on the go, with Musgrave and tower 16 open on that side, and Bonavista, Autobahn, etc. accessible via the struggle.

Yay! RAIN!
The park has a very nice flat box and down rail. There is a 3 jump line which is small, but fun. The landing of the third and largest jump is a bit flat.

About 10-15 cm between yesterday and today, but it changed to weird mist halfway through today that made all the snow really heavy.
