Assuming it doesnt get rained out I plan on being up there with some friends on saturday and sunday. Im gonna have my cute little flip camera and ill probably throw together a pre-season SR montage. So if you are planning on going up post here with what youre most likely to be wearing that way i can get name recognition in the montage, or you can just find the fat kid with the shaved head riding 09 chronics and let me know who you are.

We made snow on lower escapade last night and up to the bottom of T72. If we run that trail during a cold night we can make some serious snow.

They said it would be lit last year but no lights on it or 3D. Disappointing but honestly I wouldn't be the smallest bit disappointed if they just put in some more rails in that whoville park at night. Night skiing was always so much fun

If they put in something longer or something more rail like and less box that would be way too much fun

Yeah I swear the rails we just set up with two shovels were better than the ones they actually had set up. Was bummed how little they had compared to last weekend, though the jumps were ight and park crew said they should be putting in a few more rails tonight.

I was up Friday and today. On Friday the park was pretty crap just because they only had the first three features set up and they weren't that good. The snow however was pretty awesome left over from the 2 days previous. Today I was up and the park was pretty on point, with 9 features, all pretty solid and fun to hit, but by the end of the day there was a bunch of ice/hard snow both in the park and (mostly) on the trails beneath the park. Still, I'd reccomend heading up because the new setup is pretty prime.

Anybody else super stoked for T72 shredding this weekend? Looks like I'll be heading up Sunday! So glad we won't have to take that Locke Triple anymore. Does anyone know if the North Peak quad will be open for park laps?

No North Peak Express, Chondi for the weekend. Can't complain though it isn't the Locke Triple ;)

I'm not really sure what their plan is on the build. From the snow we made it looks like you could make a decent sized jump line up top and there's enough snow on the bottom to start a good rail garden. It really depends on how much snow park crew is looking to leave as a base. That base will be important because T72 only gets limited run time on the guns. I'm curious to see what they're going to do with the snow that's up there now.

Was up with a crew on Saturday and Sunday, park was so on point, just pretty icy/hardpack today so it hurt to fall. Yesterday was super sick until it started raining. Sick weekend nevertheless.

One of the biggest setups I've seen them pull off, this year should be great for T72. All of the rails were absolutely sick, and the jumps were getting there for early-ish season. Good stuff!

3 top jumps, 10, 20 and 30 footer with really steep landings.

Rails, 10 total
On left
Medium-width down tube 20 ft (was second rail at top of pre-season park)
Medium-width semi-harsh DFD 30 ft (from Design-a-Feature, doesn't feel like 30 ft)
Massive fat cannon tube, 15-20 ft long, 4 ft off ground. This thing launches you
Fat FDFDFD tube, super mellow, 35 ft (from Dumont cup)
Medium-width up tube 30 ft in to close-out on either side, can use closeout as stall feature (looks like a T, quite sketchy its easy to get ski caught under closeout)

On right
Flat box 1 ft wide 10 ft long
Fat down tube set in ground, 25 ft (was first rail at top of pre-season park)
Elbow-y fat C-rail tube, 20 ft
Medium width flat tube, 20 ft
Super steep fat cannon tube, 15 ft long (probably 6 ft off the ground at the end with a ~40 degree pitch)

Everything in the setup, especially the left side, is huge and super fun. The setup is as good if not better than anything they had up last year (if only the landings weren't so icy!)

LOL, they had that problem last year too. My guess is they rushed to open it, pushed out all the snow they blew while it was still wet, and now will pay the price until they rebuild. Luckily we're all getting 12+ of wet snow the next few days, so long as they don't get too much ice/rain (good luck) and know how to groom new snow the landings should be a bit better.

Bummed to hear they only set up 10, 20, and 30 footers though. Do you have to slam on the brakes between each hit like last year? really ruined the flow IMO.

Park was surprisingly flowy actually still a bit of slowing needed, but the conditions were sick on Saturday until it started raining. Video recap of some of the features here if you want it https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/742266/Quick-Clips----December-7th
