Hey NS. I'm the new terrain park coordinator for Earl Bales Ski and Snowboard Centre. Giving everyone an update on our current park status. Alot of people don't even know this hill exists, let alone has a terrain park. The hill itself is quite small in comparison to other Ontario ski hills, but is slightly bigger than centennial, and is located right in the middle of the Toronto (Yonge/401). Its no Blue Mountain or MSLM, but giving the fact that it is less than a 20 minute drive from almost every area withing the GTA, its well worth it. If you have any questions about the hill, hit me up here on NS, I'll also be there quite often (Black Lethal Descent pants, and Level 1 vest), don't hesitate to approach me with suggestions or ideas. Hope to see you soon.

Do you think the park will be open on thursday?
I was there this past thursday and everything was blocked off.
Will there be any rails this year?

The park was closed this past Thursday due to my absence, and no possible coverage(I was in Tremblant). Yes, it will be open this Thursday from 4:00-9:30. I have made a request for a 20 foot barrel rail in early December, still waiting on a response from my supervisor, I'll let you when I do.

Terrain Park Hours:

Monday - Friday: 4:00pm-9:30pm
Saturday: 9:00am-8:00pm
Sunday: 9:00am-6:00pm

**HELMETS ARE REQUIRED FOR TERRAIN PARK ENTRY**

Looks just fine for the city, the jumps defiantly need work though.

Sweet, thanks for this thread. I found the site but it didn't have any details about the park.

I'm just starting out in the park, this looks nice and unintimidating :) Thanks!

its pretty shitty there now
i was there a few days ago to hike all 3 features they have set up

they have a rainbow box, flat box and 5 foot table right now
there is no gap before either of the boxes and when i was there there was some kid just shoveling off the lip of the jump so i told him to fuck off

i was talking to a guy that goes there alot and he said they want to set up a 25-30 foot step up by the end  of the season which would make it worth hiking during the week but right now its only good if you are fiending and cant go another day without skiing
