With rail jam season starting this Saturday at Avon Day, I think it's time to start this. There are some big plans for this season in the works at Sundown, so let's discuss here (instead of last years thread...)

BTW, here's the list of the upcoming rail jams Sundown is putting on:
Avon Day - 9/25 @12pm
Suburban Sports / Meatheads - 10/2
Sun and Ski, Avon, ct - 10/9
Outdoor Sports - 11/6
Colorado Ski Shop - 11/13
Simsbury Celebrates - 11/27 @ 4pm

Is the goal to have the whole mountain open opening day, or will some trails be closed due to snow making?

I believe the goal is everything but gunnie, panhandle, and most of sunny side (I believe just little joe will be open over there) - those guys usually take a bit longer to open.

I know it's really early, but they are forecasting a possible snowstorm Friday night- Saturday!

THAT WOULD BE AWSOME

snow would be fantastic to jump start this winter back from lame. 

park plan is to keep stuff in our "slope style" side of the lift until we can get more trails open.  we gotta spread people out ya know.  so, knowing that we're limited to that (which is fine because snow guns will be bombing the steeper section anyway) i was thinking of doing a cannon/hip like k-town had up in november.  into two lines.  rails on one side, boxes and bonks on the other.  all teh way to the bottom.  with the s rail last. we're gonna have brendan and another new guy come in this week to blast off the rust and paint up some jibs nicely. 

soon

haha wow. i thought it would be like 18". When you say in some places do you just mean some piles? because i know some other mountains keep a lot of snow in the early season in big piles incase temps go back up, so it stays better.

no, I mean some places that you think are "flat" going down the hill with snow, are actually giant trenches and berms and whatnot. There's already tons of snow and no stop in sight, good stuff.

i'm going to put features to the skiers left of the lift until we get more trails open (shuoldnt be more than a couple days) then we'll take over the entire trail just like normal.  Tom's Park will have tiny jibs and mellow rollers.  i got to observe how people are skiing the trail with features on it to decide where to plunk down anything else.   Get your joey friends, girl friends, parents... everyone! onto Tom's and learning sweet stunts.  the more people using the feautres the more space we can have.

Whatever we can get outta the pile probably, haha.

lift tower rail, 32, flat-up, mini dfd, flatbox, cbox, some flatbars, and a couple others are cleaned and ready to go I believe...but who knows what will actually make it up the hill, haha.

played out phrase..... "if it were going to be easy we'd be on the west coast." 

it'll be fine.  its only water... snow is water... so it'll be fine.

ohh yeah sorry i forgot about the jam part of it. Im excited for the plan of the park. How many features do you think in each line? The way it sounds, makes it seem like it would keep people from stopping at every feature and just flowing through the whole line
