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.

Day crew started up some guns around 6ish and we've been running since. We just lit up top to bottom too but that's gonna take a bit more snow. T2 and upper punch are coming along pretty nicely and starting to add up

you guys are doing an awesome job . took a run from midstation to the bottom and even down there there was a solid 6-8 inches in some spots, if you guys keep going all night i wouldnt be surprised if it was open top to bottom

Someone who skis tomorrow should post what the setup is. I'm expecting a 8ft flat box and 8ft flat rail meanwhile Killington puts up a down rail with a donkey dick and a dfd.

Setup was a down handrail, 8 foot flat bar and little up rail. It's probably gonna change by Saturday though cause they took everything down at the end of the day

It was a pretty fun rail setup, although everything was kinda shaky.

At his point its assumed that killy has a way better set up early season, but not to hype too much because I doubt it sets in stone, but i overheard the park crew say that they want 8 features in by Saturday. I don't know if the weather will co-operate and i bet the rails will all be 12 feet or shorter, but if they make that happen before Halloween. Hats off

I'll never understand why mountains put in their shittiest rails first and leave all their best features rotting on the side of the trail...

Wish I could get up there this weekend. I have work both days, but hopefully the conditions are still good for the weekend for all of you. It doesn't look too favorable at the moment.

What are the alleged '4-6 features' looking like for this weekend? SR site says that's their plan. Anyone on the inside know? Thinking of making the trip but only if it's not a bunk setup

Shouldn't be terribly difficult for them to get a few rails setup, maybe a mellow down, a flat, a fd, and a box or something. No one is asking for much, people just want to shred.

I'm sure park crew would if they could but there really isn't a very solid base where the park is. Best to avoid making grassy landings. They've got a couple features setup and unless you're a pass holder at Killy, SR is your only option. Try to appreciate what they ARE able to do instead of bitch about what they can't...

for october 24th they did a really good job, especially considering there was only like 6 inches of snow over most of the park area

Definitely wasn't bitching, was simply saying that it is do-able for them to set something up, and it was and they had a fun setup so props to them.

Haven't had any good snowmaking windows. Been seeing a lot of people hiking up to ski T2 but not sure how much snow is up there

we set up the greatest 4 foot long box in the world for a while before it got taken down.

there is basically no snow where the park was and t2 s too narrow for it. it was really icy this morning but after lunch it got soft and really fun

Ayyyyooo

Since Sunday River is open daily, anyone know about what's good with the park? Historically around this time is when they build that banger Upper Sunday Punch park that stretches all the way down the trail. Anyone who's up there see any signs of them moving the park further up now that they're blowing a lot more? Tryna ski this weekend but if the park is the same as it's been I'd rather just send it to Loaf considering I bet they'll opening this weekend.

haven't had the same weather at all this year. Snowmaking approach has been different, opening different parts this season, wouldn't compare it to last year, Just sayin.

finally getting cold enough though. should be over to south ridge and aurora earlier this year.
