Santa came to granite peak! That right there is worth the $60 lift ticket! Are they a little longer than last year?

I got this off of their Facebook, I guess the eighth one is being put in right now, the rest were in on Thursday.  I just had hand surgery so I can't ski, but I'll ask my buds who go there everyday how they are and get back to you guys

solid do you have any idea of how big they are...im guessing they probably range from like 15 feet on up to like 40 45 maybe but thats just my guess...also did they have a solid selection of rails up as well?

currently the jump line goes like four 20fts to like i'm guessing four 10-15fts. the upper park goes a small 10ft jump to a 20ft to the 40ft or you can hit a down rail and a an up butter box. the rail park has two lines, the left side goes 30ft down rail, to a down flat, to a really wide up rail. the right line goes up rail, to down rail, to a down flat down to an up tube, to a down culvert. they have the progression park that's like a 3ft flat box to two rollers to flip, to a 10ft flat box. they're currently setting up the park at the peaks which is there slope park, they have like 20 rails just sitting there waiting to be set up. and even more just sitting in the warehouse, and then the tree jibs in the woods

the jumps like sex, nice and floaty with a huge landing that you can send it deep on. the landing is like 30ft high, so the landings really long, i've sent tricks to the bottom and riden away like it was nothing. totally worth the money man. super fun to hit switch too. watch that video

Me and some friends might go to granite tomorrow from 4-9 for the buy one get one free deal...jw if they check tickets that much and if we went early think we could hike up and hit stuff without a pass?

eh, they usually don't check passes, but i went Sunday all day without my season pass because i forgot it. and if you get caught, they just tell you to go get one, or you could just be like. "Oh I must have lost it."
