alpines are pretty big, but there a little to lippy for me. I wish they just had a medium sized one. Theres rails are great to.

thats def a big one, i cant imagine that size of a jump in michigan.

Have you guys actually done anything off those big ones at alpine? I have never seen anybody do anything but case a super sketchy 3, im not quite good enough to try much but i seriously havent seen anybody do anything.

Finally made it out to Alpine yesterday, but didn't get to take many laps thru the park.  The two hits look pretty similar to what they had setup last season.  Didn't get a chance to hit either, but will be able to next weekend.  The landing are pretty deep, which is nice.

The Highlands finally finished the Challenger park.  When I was there last week, as they were finishing cutting the park, it looked as though they would be in the 20-30 ft range.

alright, these people that say they ride alpine need to say what gear they rep, (skis, jacket, pants) cuz i ride there, and there are very few good skiers there and id like to match up these people that ride alpine with them on NS. I think ive seen 2BWise last year because he was the only other person i ever saw with line octolands, and i think hes an "older guy" in his twenties maybe? Anyways, if you ride alpine, define yourself.

You pegged me.  Mid 20s, I teach up there as well, so I end up spending a lot of time over on the carpet.  I've been out there for the last few seasons. Usually out on my Octolands, blue coat and black pants.   I'll be out sometime during the week and all weekend.  Say hi if you see me.

A week ago they still had 4 large (25-30' booters) still on chair 3.   All the pop and landing area you could ever need.   Top quality.

Otsego had one probly 60 feet to the knuckle, poppy and and scary as hell for someone who has never hit anything over 35 before. I cant imagine tricking something that big it scared the crap out of me just straight air flailing.
