Hey guy's I work at Pats as an instructor and me and some of my friends threw together a quick edit on all four features of the current park. In all honesty, not worth the trip. By 12PM the landing on the jump (that had maybe a 2ft gap to begin with) was bomshelled, the conditions were crusty, and the flow was poor. Non the less, here's what we put together.

pats is fun when u got a bunch of friends and just screw around. good place to learn ur first slips though cuz the jumps r smaller lol... i got a pass there just cuz its close and cheaper on gas when i have to drive to go skiing

agreed, the landings get bombed out and they never take care of it. plus, the last flat box was set up backwards, so you kept catching on the end....

Brilliantly! Didn't get to ride as much as I would have liked this fall, but I got a lot in over the summer, between Winant trails, the Quarries, and Massabesic a few times. I'll probably see you on some Fridays, then. Finally have my license. What's your outerwear for this year?

Lookin forward to checking out the park this w/e.

uhhh, so i guess we have new snowbikes to rent now??? wtf is this?. I also teach there and didn't even know about these until today. Can someone fill me in please? Is this a little on the gay side or what? I don't know what to think.

undoubtedly on the gay side of things, and rumor has it that they're allowed EVERYWHERE on the mountain, except parks, and are going to be part of POP...

hahah exactly... and congrats ur in utah... im still 16 so i cant go out there yet but in college ill probs go to utah.... oh and i ski loon a lot more than pats. pats is just close to me and not as much back roads. plus all my friends go their instead of crotched so i go to pats... and if u had ur facts straight then u would realize that every year they get a bit better with the park. like the crew went to cutters camp and trust me that helped with the jumps. there a lot nicer than last year

*just a shit ton haha. Last year they were basically as flat as normal ground. I'd like to see them change it to a triple jump line with bigger jumps/steeper landings than the so-so quad line.

Yeah I guess I just like smooth landings like Gunstocks where you tend to just touch down lightly rather than have to brace yourself for a hard landing at Pat's

went yesterday and was suprised on how much better the two jumps were than last year. They need to have 3 and have them be like 30 feet and i would be a lot more stoked to ski there.

On another note, they need to get more rails setup. On sunday I looked over to where they keep their rails and there were soooo many dope ones they need to utilize. If they get there shit together this year they will be a lot more legit in the terrain park world.
