So what would you guys like to see in the park this year? Keep in mind that we can't do everything, and some things just aren't reasonable, but I'd love to hear some ideas/suggestions.

The old double kink is broken to the point of essentially being unrepairable, so we're going to have to build a new one. I'll keep the specifics a secret, but it should be pretty cool.

judging by this, and you saying big black is saved for another rail, my guess is big black will be a giant dfd tube or box of some sort?

Just an FYI, but a pretty large park rebuild is going down tomorrow, so check the cams before coming out.

Yo think it is possible to get an air bag for PFC? I Feel like that would be the ultimate feature for progression, would be sick to hit one!

It'd be the first thing they've one-uped us on. And don't take this as a yes or a no in anyway, but I'm pretty sure they are really expensive.

My buddy up at mad river told me that
He said a bunch of people were asking the airbag employees about it and that's the price they told em

Also said Peak Resorts will probably buy 2 and cycle them through their resorts..

So last PFC I went to was in my sophmore year of high school (always been out west for spring break during the dates) but this year I am planning on going but has the price always been $150 for both days. Like that is pretty high, idk maybe prices have skyrocket since I have last went but I never remembered it being that high...

It has been 150 for the past 2 or 3 years, and before that it was 100. But you have to take into account rising fuel costs and other costs of building and putting it on going up. Sad state of the economy and such.

Are you guys going to scrap the 30 flat, if it's too fucked to put out againg you should make another 30 ft. box b/c that rail works good as cannon and is a great rail to learn stuff on when it's flat.

I dunno. Honestly it's really old, but the repair wouldn't be all that difficult. And as far as I know we've never had that one set up as a cannon, we normally use one of the 20 or 25 foot boxes. Maybe we'll have it fixed for PFC, it's too late to get it out there for the end of the season.

That thing was scary as shit at first but holy shit once you got used to it, it was great. So easy to take deep.

What happened to the 30 flat?

Accidents happen bud. It's hard to see in there, and the night time groomers aren't as experienced in park related stuff. Most the time it's not a big deal, but every now and then something happens that requires a little more work.
