Yeah I was the judge in green pants who seemed out of place because I was the only one with ski boots on.

they took out the traffic block and put in a barrel bonk. i think everyone was having a pretty fucked day with the snow and speed issues because of wind.

yeah green pants, orange jacket. couldnt get anything other than a switchup on the pipe. box was too slow and i couldnt even slide the entire down rail. ended up shredding top to bottom for most of the day since it wasnt too bad up at the top.

I was at Mt Ellen yesterday. It was pretty good but it got really scrapey by the end of the day. They only things they had set up were a tiny down rail and a flat box at the bottom of the GMX.

I got a sneak peek of the park today. The two words I would use to describe it are:
Huge
Firm (icy)

The jumps don't look too huge in the video. Are they actually pretty big?

did you check this: http://www.sugarbush.com/reports/interactivetrailmap.asp

everything in yellow is closed, white is open, black lines mean its groomed. im guessing you were thinking yellow was open trails, since there arent many of those.

park: riemergasse on mt ellen
terrain: exterminator woods and bravo woods (both on mt. ellen)
if there is fresh snow to be had though, paradise to lower paradise on lincoln peak is an amazing opened up glade similar to glades out west. always gets more snow because of wind too.

im really looking forward to all these pipes instead of the bars. down flat pipe looks super smooth and the cannon looks sick. jumps look smaller than last year and im fine with that. they seem to be much nicer in shape and landings than last year.

cant wait to get back to school. guess ill have to make use of my backyard for now.

Yeah the donkey dick tube is actually SUPER sketchy....I didn't really care for it. The down tube is pretty fun though, it just takes some getting used to because really really slippery.

The jumps are pretty damn small, but they have nice long landings so it's okay to over shoot a little.

The park is still more directed to snowboarders IMO, but it's okay. It's still a really fun park and I think that once they add a few more rails it will be prime.

What are the chances Sugarbush will still be on wind hold tomorrow? The wind is still going to be around 20mph with gusts at 30

i had a good time today. the donkey dick was actaully pretty fun. and the single barrel was smooth as always. only one jump was open but it was fun and they all looked pretty well made. the down tube was sick. only bad thing was that the boxes seemed suuuper sticky. definitely off to a good start with the park this year.

He tried to slide into it, like slide the snow then continue up the rail. As soon as he turned he caught an edge on something, could have been the front of the rail, or the edge of the foot wide jump. Whatever it was he came down hard on the rail. It didn't look so fun...
