Hey, I am going up to MM next weekend and wanted to know how the park was looking. I have heard that they don’t have the jumps they have had in the past. If this is true I might just go to Boyne one of the days. Thanks!

It isn't that close may even be a little more expensive. It would be the place I might stop on the way up there.

Ahhh Marquette Mountain sucks right now :(. Everything melted and then froze, so lips up to features are crap and stuff. I went yesterday and the park wasn't even open.

They have car load days this Sunday and I really would like an honest park report.  Their snow report page only states one jump! 

What the heck happened to the multiple jump lines? 

If they don't have that please let me know so that we don't waste our time.

thanks,

CJ

So no three- four jump line down chute?

It just looks like a bunch of rails.

Bring back the old days of the true garage hit!

Thanks for saving me the gas, perhaps the hill will get a face lift for superpark?

Here's some inspiration from the old days!

If I remember correctly, their park manager left. The park was horrible when I went there 2 weeks ago.

How are they going to pull off Superpark?

Why did they get rid of the jumps down chute?

They seem to be having a competition to design the park. I think if you win your prize is to come and set it all up and build all the features.
