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.

Ehh.. I like the wallride....as long as it isn't icy.  Hit it from the qp part and do a wall plant like thing on it.  The rainbow rail is actually still fun I just always hit it from the side though and not straight on.  I wish that rail was longer and not so raindbowy though

yea i hear ya guys..

i think next year they should do a 3 jump line and maybe try to fit more rails in at the top. sounds dumb but it can be done. then a 3 rail line at the bottom and they should have a really fun and flowy park next year

I had a waterville pass last year, and the competitions every other week started to piss me off because I couldn't ski the days I wanted to, I'm thinking of going back to gunstock next year cause they have really stepped it up since 2 years ago when I last had a pass there

tyler. its mike how are ya.
- i say at top. from right to left we should have. the flat down. the battle ship (actually dug in with a better jump on aka. away from the rail a little bit) then maybe a cannon rail? yea cannon rail
- the jumps. idk what to do with those. they r actually kinda nice now.
- move the dfd over and try to put in a down rail. next to it.
- i like the idea of a flat corrugated tube. after the jump line too. kinda how it was set up over x mas break. (street style)
- then the stairset is nice i like that
- the hitching post i dislike but lots of ppl seem to do it so u guys will probably keep that.

these ideas probably suck dont they

Busted a rib in the F5 park today.  I'm really bummin and could use some vibes from you guys.   It's acually the same box that NHfreeskier11$ sessioned in his edit.  Breathing and coughing is so painful and it's the second season in a row that i've gotten wrecked. 

At least i'll be able to rip some groomers in a short while.

The park is pretty fun, BUT maybe make the lip onto the rainbow rail wider so you can hit it better from the side.  Re-do the lip to the A-frame rail and make it the same steepness as the rail and also so it isn't ride on.  Set up the trap rail on a higher roller with a lip that isn't ride on.  And just pray the groomers do a good job on the jumps.

PS Pat's Prairie is about to get shit on with rain so I'm foreseeing some park damage as usual at this time of the year. Hopefully they know how to groom in unusual conditions.

How did Pat's fair from the rain? I assume it did some major damage considering they are Pat's Peak and all but I hope for the best. I might go after school Wednesday so if anyone goes tomorrow and wants to let me know how it was feel free!

yo tyler its dave

but in all honesty just get rid of all the jumps cause they are pretty shitty and make a decent jib park. I have not been to pats in a while, but last time I was there there were 4 different rails lined up next to each other at the top so you had to pick 1/4... why not line these one after another so you can hit more features in a run. If they do keep the jumps, set the cannon box over in F5 off the first jump on the right I think it would be sick. And last but not least, I think they should get rid of F5 and focus completly on turbulence and get more features put up, there is plenty unused room over there.

Great idea here. How about instead of the dual jumps next to each other, 2/3 jumps on one side of turbulence and like 10 rails in a row in the other side. Basically split it in two the long way and have one side be jumps and one be rails. Sure youd had to pick one type of skiing each run but it would be sooo much sicker and youd get to hit a ton of rails. FUCK YEAH!

It's Pats, and late-ish season... the landings are pretty damn flat, the jumps are getting smaller, but the lips are still in decent shape. Grabbed fives or hucked sevens on both of the two left jumps.

Boys spring season is upon us. Pats will continue to get shittier. I want to go sunday for the rail jam but I heard its only for snowboarders. That would be pretty fucking ridiculous if its true considering how many more skiers there are this year.
