Don't mean to hate, but does boreal try to tilt their rails? I mean, it's 2011, the level has been around for quite some time. It's a sick park, but would be sooooo much better if the park staff leveled out the rails and put steeper landings for their jumps. It's all about the little things you know.

How warm has it been? Sometimes in the spring, if its warm enough, and the snow melts a bit, rails can migrate a bit to an angle. It happens..

Thats what happens when it gets hot as shit out, bud.  The rails melt out on 1 side and it's practically impossible to keep up with.  Just compensate for the tilt with some press and lean and play with it.  I personally love a tilted box or rail here and there.  As for the landings, my back hurts.  I know they are as steep as they can go, but what about making that second jump of the big line almost true table like it was before?  All in all though, boreal it tits right now.  Having an awesome time!  Hope it lasts!

hm, did not ever think about that. Makes sense now. But yea, those first two jumps are gnarly/sketchy.

get out your inclinometer and check those jumps...landing are 33plus degrees and need to be winched....dont know what you're smoking but you wont find a steeper landing anywhere and that is a FACT...sorry to burst your bubble

dude, not even. First two jumps off accelerator as SO DAMN FLAT for how much of a step-down they are. If boreal changed the jumps they would be okay, but they won't so...stfu. And those places with better landings: alpine, mammoth....

alrighty, well the first two landings might be 33 degrees, but you basically fall from the sky into the landing. So it would help a lot if it was 37-40 degrees or less of a massive step down. Just my two cents; parks still really fun.

exactly when it's fucking dumb hot out and you have the sun beating down on one side. HEating up the skirting real hot and melting the snow super fast on one side plus people hitting it all day. And you have a ton of rails to take care of, it happens.


Deal with it or take off your skis for 5 min and kick some snow in against the low side.
