The dates for friday night rail jams have been set back. The first one will be on the 29th, but "fantastic fridays" will start on the 8th, meaning chestnut will be open till midnight.

Be there, last year everything was set-up really well, but there wasn't a very good showing by skiers, there were maybe 7? I don't know, it was really weak. They have a ton of legit prizesfor open class + cash for the other classes.

Chestnut's first friday night rail jam of the year is this friday, the 29th.  The setup will be complete sometime this week.  They already have the biggest mound of snow I have ever seen pushed, all that's left is to throw some jibbs on that bitch.

just got back from riding there yesterday, and they have done a really really good job with the park on farside. Big jump is $$$ and the jibs are perfect

This is a sick event. Great times last year. The Honda-session setup is wicked fun as well.

We definitely need some skiers to come down this friday for the rail jam. Most of the skiers that usually compete will be at some ridiculous race at Cascade and it looks like there might not even be enough skiers for our own division this weekend. There's prizes in giftcard form, so come on down and take our money, please! We need a legit skier division this weekend.

Open class would mean that it is open to anyone who wants to enter, and non-open would be the younger age divisions. and no offense but wilmot? lol do they actually have a park?

They're gonna build the slope course on blackhawk which is on the main hill. The comp is gonna be super legit and alot of fun. Its laid back and theres a ton of product so if you'll be there anyways it'd definitely be worth it for you to compete.

Just got the box painted today...that is a thought that the boss has but we will see.  Started pushing snow today...snow underneath was like freshly made snow!!!!!! The thought is for 3-5 jumps... Size and amount will depend upon speed while doing some trial and error (knock on wood) this week...New down flat down double barrell just finished today that looks super mellow(who know what it really looks like when it is in the snow until it is really there!!!!) but more info tomorrow after another day of pushing snow...also last week we discovered how to do some creative grooming designs using the tiller we have never seen before and some sick checkerboard designs with the shrakes so arrive as early as you can for the rest of the season to see what it looks like...Most days FARSIDE opens around 10-12 AM depending upon how much work needs to be done.....FARSIDE is hands down one of if not the best well groomed 'public' parks in the midwest!  If anyone has any concerns about our parks at Chestnut  send me a personal message here on NS!!!
