none of the jumps have any kick, they all just kinda shoot you out, its fine for spinning but flipping is kinda difficult. and speed is kinda an issue, i wasnt able to hit all the jumps in a row but if you skip a couple then u can get speed for some of the bigger ones.

jumps arnt that big

bump

also looking for current set up. Heading up there this weekend for the first time this season.

Does anyone remember the park set up for the 04/05 season? Everything since has sucked in comparison, except for 2007 I can't speak for cuz I was out w/ my torn ACL. Timberline was top-bottom with sweet medium sized jumps and the best flow of anything I've ever ridden. And the parks at Bear Mtn were AMAZING. Real big, tons of pop, good flow. Same season they had the "big air" jump on Viper Pit, and a boarder/skier cross track set up.

I went up yesterday. Timberline has some small rails and boxes and 5 15-20 footers. Dream maker has some rails up to 40 ft i would guess. The jumps on dream maker are sweet.  35-45 feet i would guess. good flow. dream maker is pretty sweet

gone. early season park. in my opinion that was awesome considering the 2 minute lifts to the park. now its at bear mountain it start off with a long handrail and a long down rail then goes into two boxes and to a dfd rail and elbow rail, then an elephant rail and a c box,- thats the rail garden then goes into a 30' and to a 20' 25' 30' 35'. then the pipe

same here. i'm small so i couldn't even clear the jumps because i didn't have enough weight, it was wicked windy, and the course was so flat. i could have easily got like 2nd or 3rd in jr jam if it wasn't so flat and windy.

i heard that timberline got a complete overhaul. Jumps are bigger, more rails and boxes and the whole thing is a lot longer now. stoked to shred today!

yeah I was there today they revamped it for the better (in the case of most features).

They added a stupid banked turn segment and a mini pipe which are lame but there are a bunch of nice sized jumps and a few more rails and things as well as a stall type thing, bottom line much better than it was.
