the rails are either on the side of the trail or behind a building next to the chair lift, btw they are heavy.

I recently checked the webcam and there is nearly no snow. :( looks like rain soon too...

I went this weekend and set up some rails and a jump. It was so much fun! Better than when Blue was open. There is still >1 ft in some places, although watch out for mud+rocks

I took it home but i brought a box and set up as a corrugated pipe jump to flat to drop on the bunny slope area. I also set up a jump cliff style and later put in a pole jam on the main trail. All the snow is basically gone. If you wanna risk it. Blue hills has rails behind their building by the lift you could easily move onto the hill.

A short run down. It is fun in the woods and you could do the backside. I have never personally gone but friends i know have. A lot of hiking/ uphill but seems fun. I may go.
