i totally agree with this. that school seems really messed up to me but they put in a snowflex center so i can't really complain. i live in Charlottesville which is about an hour from there so i will be there a ton this summer.

to those of you who have gone how is it? how many rails and what kind do they usually have set up? Are the rails really sticky? do the jumps feel sketchy as hell or are they fairly legit?

i have been thinking bout heading out there soon with my friends but not sure if its worth the drive from ohio.

he said the jumps aren't super sketchy, but they are smallish, and they don't hurt to fall on.

so the place fucking rullllllllleesss and you will learn more there then snow(shock pad is fucking money..almost kinda feels like a moon bounce?). $5 a fucking hour. There was 5 people total practically on Saturday when i was there. 80 degree sun. Google fucking tan! Endless t-bar laps. SOme of there jibs are large(30ft+ maybe 3 or 4 ft high?) You can take the jumps as deep as you want(doubles can be done). See you there a shit ton this summer. Its the new "ghetto Mt hood" of the east..and im fucking pumped. ANd i think they have some mountain bike stuff too..if your into that.

SOrry i left so fast Saturday! Realized i had to make it 2 hours north to the campground before dark. SUcks to ride for such a short time. Let me know if you head down there again!

yeah i've seen a video of a straight dub back, but in reality, its not a dub jump. 9's were doable, but i couldn't imagine someone doing dub corks or dub flats.

the jump itself is MAYBE 25-30 feet. yes you can go deep, but it isn't safe because the landing will literally fall away from you.

i was at a comp there last fall and a boarder did a dub 9. it's easily dub front or backable. much more than a dub 9 is pushin it. corks up to 10 or maybe 12 are doable. i've seen a cork 10 with a steezy tail grab.

That video?  I saw another with dub fronts in it. Probably not a double jump. I live like 3 hours away so I am going there probably a few times this summer.

this is about right!

COrey has been killin it down there.

Took my first hit 3 way deep like an idiot.....thought to myself as im falling "Cant believe Im going to get carted out of here on my first fucking hit haha). Was ready to implode on impact....put my feet down and just rode away....shock pad rules!

I thought the qp would ride like absolute shit...couldn't see how it would work well....but its a dream...just like everything there..its "shaped" perfectly because of the construction.

Place is legit as shit...anyone from the east that can't get out west to summer ski camps would be a fool to atleast not try it. Kids in Virginia are going to start getting sick good skiing year around(they cover it with snow in the winter).

Dude working the rope tow talked about a skier hitting the big jump..and gapping all the way over the battleship box? Crazy shit

Liberty was pretty sick and the 30ish foot jump was money for a small booter. I learned all sorts of new tricks. The boxes are okay, but when I was there I spent 99 percent of the time on the jump. The landing is soft and super long so you can take it as deep as the snowflex will allow.

Not to mention it is skiing in the middle of the summer, EPIC.

wear whatever you want really

your stuff wont get that beat up but every time i go i get so fucking wet from all the sprinklers on the carpet

so as long as you dont care if youre wet than whatever works
