For those who aren't aware, Edelweiss has a booth set up at the Ottawa Ski Snowboard & Travel Show at Landsdowne. They are handing out promo cards with deals for season passes on it.

Night season pass - $89 (not $99)
Student season pass - $239 (not $299)
Regular season pass - $269 (not $319)

Check it out if you haven't already.

well last year they had a tiny step down, followed by a 15-20 foot step-up, real good for new tricks.
then the four jump line went like this
25 foot step down
30 foot step down
35-40 foot stepover/step up, kinda weird
large 45 foot step down, dubbed the 'fokus pokus'

the rails were pretty good too, but everything was kinda late getting set up. the main park guy said that there water reserves got messed up, so they couldnt blow as much snow as early as they wanted. hopefully this year they dont have that problem, and the jumps will be bigger sooner!

Haha atleast one person does! Yeah it is pretty far, but my dad said he's willing to drive me down at least a few times this season, so I guess I'll make one of those times the NS day! Plus we make trips down to Ottawa every once in a while anyways, so the extra half hour or so isn't much.

As usual I'll be working a few nights a week on the patrol up there. Don't be shy, I am always down to ride with people, and usually have a ton of SN stickers on me

WOW, way to read the post i was quoting...

I was saying WE DO have a gaper day, and its on the same day as geeks love tweeks. i never said naything about NS day, but i guess that would be pretty cool.

Hahaha I'm impressed you can name our local "hill".... Where you from? But yeah, it's pretty lame when you can stand at the top and see the bottom...

@Bogez: Yeah, it's about 1-1/2 hours away, but my dad's not willing to drive me that far twice a weekend, so I'm just stuck here with a tiny hill. Their park was actually kinda disappointing last year though, so it's nbd.

as of right now I will be patrolling 2 nights a week. There are only ever 2 or 3 of us on, and the yellow jacket is pretty obvious. Skis always have NS stickers on them, though not sure what I'll be rocking this year

If I am not patrolling it'll be a Black and Blue First Drop setup

See you out there!

The new quad is a fixed grip. Will likely open just before Christmas.

The EDL park will continue to be a Rockstar sponsored park this season
