They opened the park from the entrance by the 7 bros chair/picaroon entrance. Had some nice rollers to butter which will eventually be jump landings. a smooth dfd box, big hip on the left with the landing leading into a high spine/wall ride on the right. Anyone hit this straight on? Seems like a big boost to get onto the top of the rail...

They should have it open from the top by the end of the week.

They just updated their park page and it says the main park is closed for now and will open this weekend, possibly earlier.

yeah I really hope they get rid of that hip and put the classic 3rd jump back up, such a fun medium sized jump to spin

Agree with changing the hip for the usual third jump. That was always a nice poppy medium jump. Good for warming up before the build the big boys.

I also which they'd wouldn't use so much time & snow on the pipe that turns to a block of ice for 90% of the season. I know it's a marketing strategy to say you have one but...

Anyone going up tomorrow (friday the 24th)? I'm back home over winter break and skiing at loon just for the day. It'd be fun to have someone to shred park with! I'll be on old Line 1260's and wearing a brown cordoroy jacket with tan pants and a white hat.

They have the complete park set up and have changed up the jibs at the top a little. The big jump line is up in the bottom half. I hate guessing at jump sizes but they're normal size for Loon (meaning pretty big). The second to last one pops you suuuper high and the last one is even bigger. Fun stuff.

not to turn this into an edit competition thread (the rail shots in the one above this were killer!), but I just put out a lil Loon edit too and thought I would share, filmed the January 8th-9th
