Ski Hill in Manitouwadge, Northern Ontario just tried to build a park this year for the first time ever, they would like criticism, ideas for next year, we went on a road trip on march break for their first ever rail jam, take a look. super fun little hill.

i mapped it, you weren't kidding when you said northern ontario.

Suggestions, they could probably get rails that are made out of metal. Old bike racks don't count. The park looked like a decent first attempt though for a hill that is in the middle of nowhere, probably with limited resources

That spine feature that you can hit from multiple angles looked really fun, definitely tell them to keep that in the future. As for everything else, maybe move them up the hill/to a steeper portion of the hill and add some space between the hits. It looked a little cramped.

Still, not a bad start for northern canada

don't know if I'd call Manitouwadge Northern Canada.

lil bit steeper of a hill, jumps, and mebe a few more rail hits, they could use some old trees or something and smooth out the tops if they had to, that looks like a fun mountain!!

I was thinking maybe get the rails up a lil bit. They seemed low to the ground. But that would be a great spot to get some stuff dialed in.

the spine looks like a lot of fun, i think everything should be a bit more spaced out though

MORE SPACE!

a few small jumps would be sick, and  a solid double rail line is nice.

Embed for lazy.

Longer rails, maybe smaller jump that send you further, maybe a few techy bonks and other tree jibs or something

it looked like a fun little place but is it just me or does each feature need to way more spread out from the next... it seemed so tight
