Need to decide on Welch or Hyland this weekend. I have a pass to Welch, but don't want to waste my time if they have a shitty park as usual. What does Hyland have up and are they charging full price tickets already?

welch park is currently non-existent. i've heard afton park is a really fun little setup right now and not sure about hyland but that sounded decent too. i have a welch pass as well but i'm probably not going this weekend

My park doesn't get built until after christmas =[
we have a few rails set up, but most are nearly impossible because the snowboarders ride on to all of them and fuck up the jumps, so you have to pop almost 2 feet to get on. and then they make these potholes in the landings.

nobody seems to ever want to keep them up. same with our pipe.

afton last weekend had a dfd box setup, the mailbox, and a choice of either a-frame or baby downrail. worth it just for the mailbox. but yeah, prices are kinda up there.

Did Fronius go to Cretin?  Just curious. 

I might go just to watch Travis Rice.  I have watched That's It That's All about 500 times.  That dude is insane!

afton is setup pretty sweet. Gotta couple rail lines and 3 jump line.  Actually its more like 1 huge mound followed by two jumps.  Fun tho.

so, Buck Hill got there park up. Finally. I haven't hit too much of it because yesterday when i went out it seemed more fun to shred the little pow jumps some kids put up but they have a 3 jumpline, a probably 20-30 foot down rail up top a big c box, flat up flat rail, up to small gap to down box.. that's basically there main run with a few more rails and stuff setup next to their halfpipe.. the lips on the jumpline for sure need work though..

I went to buck last night, wasnt very fun. The jump line would be nice if they fixed the lips.

We will be resetting at trollhaugen this weekend.  Planning the set up tomorrow night.  New DFD will be put out along with this re set.  We will be re setting both parks, top to bottom.  Jump in the Double Tow park is actually legit.  Take off to landing ratio is very proportional.   Ohh, and we have a poop tube now too, if you didnt know.

i don't know whether to be stoked on a jump that big, or completely sketched out that hyland would build something that big in the first place. Do you land in the parking lot? I'll have to check it out next week. Is that little rainbow box up? That thing can be a lot of fun
