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.

1337Bummed 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.


Yep, basically you have to go in to them really slow, save the last one, and if you go even a tiny bit too fast you will send it to flat because the landings are so short and steep.

Are we talking about jumps or rails?

Pretty friggin icy on the landings everywhere in the park. Up top there's two new feature sets. Left line is a sweet urban on up tube and then the elbow rail. The right line has a up box and then a c box. They're both set up with a pretty huge drop on the first two features.

Yeah the weather and the pushing out the snowmaking piles before they were cured really took a toll on everything. T72 really just needs some more snowmaking attention. Hopefully we'll get back to making snow in the parks world soon

Yeah, pretty good snow-wise and the jumps were slightly better than last week. The new features were nice, and the setup down below was still super sick. Hoping that they might get 3D going soon for some chiller jumps.

yeah I am pretty stoked to see if they actually fix it up nicely like they say there gonna do. I was disappointed last year in 3D. I was expecting a park closer to what Starlight was like 2 years ago when it had Medium sized jumps and creative rails. I found the jumps and rails in 3D to be to small and more or less resembled moonstruck park rather than starlight.

Yeah, that'd be perfect. Put the really tiny stuff from 3D back in to Whoville, you could hardly tell the difference between the two last year. I know SR wants to give beginners their own little park without the intimidating atmosphere associated with the bigger stuff, but I think it's be fine to have those small features found in 3D last year in Whoville, making a small park more like Moonstruck. Something other than flatbars and straight boxes in 3D would be prime.

I agree with most of your post, but last year they definitely did do some decent stuff with 3D. Remember they had that up flat down tube, the rainbow box, the polejam, and a couple decent other rails. The jumps definitely could be bigger and nicer I agree. Hopefully Whoville gets the smaller rails from 3D moved there and we can ski something decent at night this year. (I'm still confused as to whether lights on T72 is a thing or not?).

Also for the sake of not double posting, my broken collarbone is feeling pretty good after a few weeks off skiing, hopefully should be out of the sling, into PT and back at SR in a few weeks time. To all of you up there appreciate being able to ski and keep those of us who aren't up posted on what's set up, I sure as hell would be stoked on any skiing right now.

The park was sweet yesterday. They did a good job getting rid of all the ice. I'm trying to get back into skiing the park so I've been fine on rails but yesterday I misjudged the tiny ass first jump and landed on the flats. Stuck it out to my feet but I think I might have broken my big toe

For the record, PurpleDino skis once in a while. He'll be the one doing sixes off the up rail if anyone is looking for him.

Park was prime feature-wise today, the 10 little features and 2 small jumps were a welcome addition. Quite icy by the end of the day, but the setup was the best so far this year!

The jumps were both fantastic and terrifying today. I took the first to the Gucci Plateau a few times, but the snow was so soft I barely felt it. Definitely the best jump day of the year so far.

Damn, been waiting for a soft snow jump day and I might have missed it. Hope it stays somewhat soft for Friday. Ill be up at SR and Sugarloaf both a couple of times during vacation.

I've mostly just been cruising around the Mtn all day but when I checked out the park the other morning it was pretty good, snow was soft (maybe too soft, a lot probably got skied off later in the day) but none of the features got melted out or anything.

Currently sitting at home with a concussion. Apparently I caught an edge hitting the second jump on January 1st and landed on my head. Went to patrol and the hospital but have no memory of either. I lost memory of New Years Eve and pretty much everything on the 1st but some of it is coming back. I'm having some issues with short term memory but should make a full recovery. Hopefully I'll get back soon and most likely will stick to filming for the rest of the season. Everyone keep killing it out there.

Holy shit dude! Issak told me today what happened! How long do you have to stay out? I should be back out by next weekend, but I damaged a muscle and a ligament in my lower hip last Sunday that has prevented me from walking right but I've been healing pretty well as of Thursday. Dude, that sucks big time, hope you have a fast and full recovery and come back to kill it soon!

Physically I feel perfectly fine. I'm still having some issues with short term memory and focusing on things for awhile. I'm hoping to get back up as soon as possible but I'm just gunna have to convince my parents to let me go. My goal is to get up by the last weekend in January but we'll see.
