When the park may be back up?

Yea idk if this needs its own thread but any idea when the park may reopen and snow wont be made during the day? Obviously I understand they need to take advantage of the cold weather, and I am not complaining. But I am just curios so I can plan accordingly cause there really is no point to drive all the way up there if the park isn't open. Normally id be more patient, but there is literally nothing to do here since everyone I know is still in school and there is a shit load of down time with no skiing.

Also might as well ask, any idea what the setup may look like when it does reopen?

Thanks

Seriously, looks like were coming to an early end.

The kink box could be cool as an A frame, short side up long side down. 36 set up flat, or at least flatter with less of a lip. Or the tall tee set as a slight gap to up rail, just move it forward a bit and drop the front end with a nice gap to landing. C rail to the 12' handrail set up as a down setting the handrail just outside the C so they are essentially flush. Maybe bring back the 2nd step up, with it getting warmer its going to get slower and harder for my scrawny ass to clear the bottom hits. But other than the excessive melting for it being february, the park is pretty sick right now.

Just some ideas, maybe if they cant happen during regular season they can happen for PFC. Not to thread jack but is PFC $100 this year instead of $150, someone told me the price got dropped back to $100? I checked fp32 but didnt see anything.

it would be sick to get a small urban style box rail in the mini for those of us who need practice hitting urban before we hit the big stuff and kill our selfs.....like the 15 ft box set as a down urban rail. Id like to also see wall-e come out as like a jump type landing or something. and a hip or the step up step down thing in the big park would be amazing....it was great in the mini but no one knew how to use it. And maybe a dance floor?

Why not just treat the down 26 as an urban? Its real low, just come at it from the side to get used to the feeling. Then work your way up to the 36 handrail, the rails not too high off the lip right now. Ask some people up there if you need it, Im sure theres plenty of people down to help.

Good stuff guys. Some of that stuff can happen i would think. Expect the park to be closed for a good part of the day on Tuesday if I have the chance to rebuild the big park. We're going to go over the plan this weekend and make a spot for as much as we can. Hope to have it finished on Tuesday afternoon.

Keep the ideas rolling. Just don't be upset if they can't happen.

thats a good idea, but its a little different from doing that to an actually urban in my opinion, working on getting over the rail with out the major consequences would be awesome.

It would be sick if you could pull the 15 foot box out of the minni and put it at the end of the rollercoaster.  I remeber this being done once.  Also the cannon set up last year at pfc.  It was like a big pipe cannon.  If that could be set up again that would be sick.  Im also a fan of the hand rail cannon to

Just got the email about suspended operations.

GOD DAMNIT. Fuck rain. Seriously.


Looks like ski season is coming to a screeching, rainy, cloudy halt.

i love this idea, i need to practice hitting stuff urban style.  id also like to see a flat rail (ex: the rail used for the cannon set up flat) so people can learn to do round rails.

The snow report says, "The park crew did some reworking in the parks and they are in good shape today!"  What was reworked?

so when are they supposed to close exactly?  any chance of there being some more bonus days after the spring carnival?  that night its supposed to go down to like 24 and some cooler temps are forecasted for the following days.  it would be sick if they stayed open another week before they started building for pfc.... or maybe just the following weekend or something.

anyone hear anything?

As of right now it's all bonus days, so if the weather cooperates and there is still a decent number of people coming out, they should stay open. I'd guess there will be some kind of announcement after carnival about what is going to happen.

what are the chances that the slopes will re-open for the weekend?  i dont want the season to be over!!

A great idea:  PNS get an mSnow setup with like 4 rails/boxs like some summer camps have and you can sell a summer pass and tickets to have acess to it.  maybe just make your own summer camp haha (foam pit?!)

Hey Everyone,

Late post but i was here late last night trying like hell to salvage the park, which i think i mostly accomplished with the help of Bryce-o-rama. I also added a couple of features from Jam session to get some mellow stuff for the novice of you out there. 20' Flat box at the bottom, with the tower box descending next to that. Most everything else has remained and got some fresh lovin'. Also what does everyone think of Richard the down-flat round rail?

Later,
Tad

Ha yeah I heard you guys were out there til around 6, I stopped watching the cams around 2 or so and you guys were still out. We appreciate it! And as far as richard goes, I dont want to speak for everyone, but I think its way better.. so much more smooth and its a fun little feature.
