As many of you know, I have worked at Whaleback for a few years and will be working there again this summer. There are a few different threads in this forum with information about Whaleback summer camps, competitions and jib sessions. Lets use this thread to post all information about Whaleback this summer so it can stay out of other threads about other mountains. If you have any questions about camps or events feel free to ask me! We are working hard on a new setup and when we have pictures of it, I will post them in here. The first event of the summer is June 2. It's a free rail jam on the new setup. Hope to see everyone from New England come out and support Whaleback this summer!

just wanted to give everyone a little update, the next event was supposed to be a contest but because of the rain last time, we switched it to a jib event to give everyone a chance to hit the setup before we have a contest. the session will be from 1 to 4 on saturday june 30 and it will cost $10. we are also going to leave the setup the same (down box and down snow making tube) for this session and then we will be changing it after. thanks everyone for the support and see you at whaleback!
