Well yes? that would be wrong to not allow someone to not personaly figure out the speed for jumps...Personally I do not know the schedule of the day of the event but I will see if I can get that...Also i do not know when the course will be fully completed before saturday... there is a lot of steel, plastic, wood and snow to be moved!

The course is so sick!! Haven't got to ride it yet but I got a preview and it is so sick! Rails are awesome and the 3 jump line is dare I say, the best in the midwest!?!?!

The Jump line from lip to the sweet spot is 45ft 55ft 55ft...Firts hit in the course gives the option for a down rail, down flat down, or flat down box...next into the pyramid snowbox...then options of a tall flat rail or flat to step down gap kinda box... then jumpline... then an up culvert at the end.  The jumps take a lot of room because of the speed needed for them...snow box is somthing else cant wait to see people throwdown on it!

Thanks to everyone who came out and congrats to the winners. Everyone was throwing down hard. I thought the event went over really well and everyone seemed like they were having a good time. The course was sick and I wish I could've skied but I had to drop out of the comp because they were short a judge. I still had lots of fun though and I hope I'll see you all there again next year.

Thanks to everyone who came out, It was so much fun. Big thanks to Kyle for the judging, which by the way I believe was on point all round, as well as Brandon for putting this whole thing together, and Dave for building such a sick slopestyle course. Rough day for Jordan Cooper, I hope to see you heal up soon bretherin. Also a rough day for homeboy teddy who wrecked his car on the way home last night, love and prayers for one lucky G. Thanks again to everyone for a great event.

I'm going to go ahead and say it. This was the best park setup I've ever seen in the midwest. The only problem was the jumps were a little crammed in but you have to expect that with the little amount of room. Everyone killed it and it was an awesome day.

This.

Such a sick/fun course to ride. I thought jump 2 was hard to get speed for and clear it. Other than that all the jumps were fun. The pyramid was weird, yet fun to hit.

Great times at the Nut. Chestnut never fails to impress. It's nice to see park done right here in the midwest. Every other resort should take a trip to this place and take notes.
