A couple days ago the snow melted and you can't ski all the way to the lift and there is a two jump line with 5 rails/boxes setup I think? I thought it was fun.

down rail

3 jump line

donkey dick

flat bar

flat box

up box



no more skiing to the lift. you ski down, take your skis off, walk over some rocks, put them back on, walk over more rocks, ski down to under the lift, take your skis off and walk like 50-75 yards to the lift.

it was melting darn fast when i was there

but they basically had the same setup except no down rail at top and a down box before the donkey dick

but i would rather straight up hike all day and not pay then try to lap and end up walking a shit load and pay 54 dollars

they must have because my last day skiing there was the 16th and they tore the half pipe down had a 2 jump line and 3boxes and 2 rails. It looked like they were starting to set up a rail where the bottom of the half pipe was though. and as for snow, like they said it melted super fast while i was there.

I heard from a few people this spring that they were going to be checking for passes to keep hikers out of the park, but I certainly cant confirm this or anything.
