Due to more open terrain prior to the Thanksgiving holiday weekend Heavenly has made the decision to drop the Thanksgiving Weekend blackout ...days (Friday and Saturday, November 26 and 27, 2010) on all restricted Heavenly Pass aka: Heavenly/Northstar passes. So come on up! The snow is incredible … mid-winter quality. Also employee pass's are now good mon,tues,wed this week (no blackout).

it was pretty sweet today, the jump line is smooth, no speed issues, and reasonably steep landings. If you landed nicely on the transition of the second jump and just pointed it towards the third, the speed was perfect. The rails and bonks looked fun, potential handlplants on the weird axle and tire feature?? T'would be sweettt. I just lapped the jump line though...

Those jumps could use a little more pop in my opinion, but it didn't stop me from having a blast today! Gotta love that cali sun and beautiful mid air views! They're blowing snow constantly for the high roller park, that shits gonna be dope!

Why did you guys change the name of powderbowl?
Players park? & Ante Up park?
Those are pretty stupid in my opinion. Should've just kept the original, as well as High Roller.

the best part about groove is it seems to be keeping the majority of the gomers out of the other park!

it'd be nice to have one REALLY long park like northstar, not a couple jumps OR a couple of rails (cuz you can't hit both) then big traverse, some more groomers, down into a couple of rails OR a couple of jumps, then more traversing and more groomers.

I agree, its definitely one of the best beginner level parks I've ever seen, the quantity, quality and variety of basic features in there is impressive.

High roller is still high roller. only name we really changed was powder bowl due to it was a old run name, and now its no longer a real run and a park we wanted to tie in all the park names into each other around our location (geographicly) so gambling based. ante up is a new park in NV so had to come up with a new name. hope that makes since

hey courtney, yeah we would love to have a top to bottom park too and thats why were making ante up because we can... players park is a small aera and so we have to make the best use of it that we can.

sweet! sounds like fun, better get up and get some practice this week. You think you'll change things a lot for the contest? Or can I expect the course to be pretty similar to what is set up this next week?

The new snow helped soften things up a bit, but still pretty firm everywhere around the lake. this week is sun, wind... so maybe more snow before u come??  but on the + side we are finishing up our large jumps tomorrow and we just put on a graveyard groomer to till out landing of med/lg jumps to help things be a bit softer for you guys in the am. -TPC

Jumps are sick so floaty hopefully we'll get some snow and get a third in maybe a big step up? watch your speed into the second booter it was a solid three speed checks into it on the first day, but landings are both solid steep and long!

Hey guys, heres a quick update since its been a lil while since our last post.

All parks are back open and freshly rebuilt or refreshed features, here is a small break down;

  • High roller- 2 jumps (roughly 60 and 70”), 16 jibs including 2 “brand new” longer kink rails.= 18

  • Ante Up- 6 jumps (3 jumps each with double lips… big side and small side), 13 jibs =19

  • Players- 3 jumps, 11 jibs, 2 snow features=16
  • Groove- 8 jumps, 5 snow features, 19 jibs =32
  • Progression-, roller, hip, ,jump, rail, box, stall  =6 features

= 81 features of fun out on hill as of now and still adding more each night.

We do plan on closing down High Roller on thursday for a rail refresh and aAnte up park will be closed on friday-sat (18-19th) for the next Stateline showdown slopestyle event. sign up @ 530-542-5133
