It started snowing at about 8:15AM today (Oct. 26th 2011) By 3:00PM there was about 5cm of snow on the ground and it was still coming down, slowly but surely.

Get your gear ready, the seasons coming.

not entirely true, everytime it has rained it has snowed a bunch before turning to rain. which is why the base hasnt really been changing.

can we not fuck the next page with autoplay.

Good job at the night jam everyone, so much fun. Tomas, that was sick you earned those Customs. Overall it was a great first jam, and snowed 24cm that day/night :) Quikpark should be open very soon, as I talked to the park guys while I was there. :D Good to see way way wayyyy more skiers then boarders in the comp.

Jumps are awesome, although speed sucked dicks and balls today.

10-15 foot table
25ish foot stepdown, super poppy, perhaps too poppy...
35sh foot stepup, super fucking good

Rails are alright but the set up is whack, nothing really flows too well yet imo

Park is losing snow and everything is getting fucked.. Hopefully Quik gets a rebuild soon. Cut jumps are still money

Does anyone have any extra grouse lift tickets they could sell me for cheaper? I know a lot of you probably got some with your season pass.

rebuilding got done, still some kinks to be worked out due to getting 50cm's of fresh snow just after the rebuild was finished. gap in down rail to canon box line is super fun, canon box is perfect.

Both parks are super fun right now. There's a 3rd jump being built on the Cut that looks to be 50+ feet, hopefully should be open soon.

parc krew should set up all their flat rails like they set that one up, so much better than when the lip is level to the rail/ride on.

I don't understand why park crew has to dig out features then not put anything new in that area. For example the down elbow kink.

because we dont get a lot of cat time and have to hand dig out most rails. we often just want to something out before it gets way too snowed in so there is less work on build days. we dont just do that shit to fuck with you guys there is a purpose.

secondly, bottom half of quik park done, so much fun. park flows so good right now.
