I figured everyone can post updates in here throughout the year. I'm up their every weekend so I can update this a lot for people who are coming and want to know what to expect.

I got pics of the temporary set up that will most likely be here t'ill they make snow on the North Park or the Alpine bas park. Visibility is really poor because of the snowmaking right now.

First you start off with the choice of two small up-boxes here is a pic of the smaller one.

Now in the line you got the two best features right now, a flat log jib probably 18ft and the rainbow box at about 22ft.

To finish off the line you got a 15ft flat box and a 8ft butter box.

It snowed 5cm on 2/3 of the mountain. The bottom part recieved nothing. Everything was open in the park except the 3rd jump. Spring conditions today it was fun, but watch your speed.

Yeah for the first there is no set area to drop in. Some hit the rails and can straight line to the first some can do 1 or 2 speed checks and some gotta start way above the rails and straight line it from there to make it.

yes. i watched it happen with my own eyes. i was right above the rail & box before the jumps when he went for it.

he slowed down waaaaay to much and he did like a flip and quarter and then cased on his head/shoulder/ribs. it looked rough as hell. patroll everywhere took a while to get him out of there and down.

I think everyone needs to watch kristaps thompson entry and vote for him. Kid destroys...switch dub on the second jump is insane.

Plus this video will show you the new cannon box in the park.

How the coverage?

Also, from the pics that they posted on FB, it looks like they took the up down, rainbow, and setup a t4 down box, on the bunny hill for a burton comp.
Is it still there, cus that would be sick to hike after they close the lifts.

Coverage is great just about everywhere. Super hard base in the mornings but everything is really nice once the sun softened things by about 1pm

Shitty if they keep the april 10th closing. Maybe they should make up for those 2-3 weeks they said they would be open last season at the beginning.

^It all has to do with wether or not they can make money. My dad was talking to one of the staff and they said that the majority of staff also work at the golf courses and they need them to start work there. Also, the majority of people still skiing are seasons pass holders, they aren't making any profit except from the cafeteria at the top.

^did you really expect them too? Its intrawest, all they care about is making money.

They're opening next season on november 24ths, thats bs, they could easily open a week earlier, if not two, if the weather is cold again. They blow so much snow. Why not open with one run off the tgv or lowell thomas in october, like other EC resorts (killington, even avila opens that early and they barely have any vertical).

Considering I drove home in a blizzard on Sunday and Marc Dandurand skied powder yesturday I would say there is some good snow up there if you are interested in hiking.
