Alpine Meadows Park Updates 2010

^That was a well thought out letter and I'll try to give you some insight.

First, the jumps are bigger than 40'. They are step over style jumps so they don't look as big as step downs. Take a tape out there and measure. You'll find that the last two are at least 10 feet bigger. Let me also post up a picture of the park on March 2nd on roo. If you notice they are no bigger than they are now.

Don't worry, I want to build monster jumps too. We will be stacking the jumps ASAP. We always do for the spring sesh.

We've been waiting for the Safety commitee to approve our plan on terry's. It just got approved on Saturday and we hope to be building within a week.

Also, have you guys noticed it's snowing? If it snows, digging out jibs and just getting stuff rideable is the priority. New snow usually puts us at least 3-4 days behind what we'd like to be doing. If it snows, don't expect anything new for about a week. If it snows every week for a month, well you can see where I'm going with this.

I see alot of bad mouthing about the other parks as well and I don't think people realize what it takes to maintain them.  Not to mention building them. We're not going to rebuild everything to watch it dump all over it again. Were going to wait for some signs of high pressure before we start, otherwise we're just wasting our time.

Just relax and ride the pow that's been falling. Build a jump and practice your tricks. Park days are coming soon.

Here is a vid of what we've been dealing with the last month. Check out the rails in the beginning. Just a little buried.

I can't get it to embed.

Dialed in the landings last night on the jumps. Should fix the speed issues. Also made the last takeoff a little taller so it's easier to clear. Gonna try to get some pics this afternoon.

Starting to push terry's tonight.

Big air on Saturday on the last jump.

Triple Air the following weekend for the Open.

Thanks guys! Your riders were killing it last weekend. Level 1 had an insane sesh on it yesterday. Should be some good footy coming out of Alpine this year.

^^ Come on 55'. What are you a giant? More like 70, bra. Oh, and the other jumps are fun as well. They can't all be huge.

Sorry, No. If we are not working midweek, the rails would be laying on thier sides when we come back. I know it's a bummer for the jibbers but we simply can't maintain rails right now.  This late in the spring, rails are a big pain in the ass.

Yeah the jump is amazing! great work!!!

Here is one of the shots: https://newschoolers.com/web/content/pictures/id/347759/cat/latest/

Got about 18" of new snow yesterday. Park is buried again. Don't expect too much park for tommorow due to snow conditions. So shred the pow while you can.

Last jump will be closed Fri/Sat for Level 1 shoot. Didn't want to close it but the weather this week has not cooperated. Hope to have it back open for Sunday.
