Hello Two Plankers,

Just thought I'd start this thread to encourage some talk about next season and get the ball rolling on our design plans. Check out the potential feature for next season, then get busy with that talk!

There has been rumors about a college pass in the works too. Keep your eyes pealed for deals.

Just to let you know, the sketch-up model above was approved along with the budget this year. You will also see a 40' handrail, rainbow box, battleship box, and a few more things along the way.

We are still deciding the best course of action in terms of park expansion for this coming winter. The idea is not off of the table, we are just trying to develop a sound plan before releasing any information to the public. However, the war against oxidation has commenced. Keith has already started repairing & painting all of our rails, boxes, and jibs for next season. So while you are at the beach or that bbq at your friends house and its 90 degrees, he is here everyday and some weekends already thinking of next winter! You won't find dedication like this anywhere else.

Parks this year were insane, big ups to everyone who helped make the park happen. Im sure next year will be bigger and better. Nashoba, would you guys ever consider making a three jump line? Obviously they would have to be a little smaller but i think a nice step over style three jump line would be incredible.

Yes this! They had a 3 jumpline technically, witht eh 1/4 bowl but it would be sick to have some big old step ups. They are safer, more fun and easier to learn new tricks on. I would love it if the park expanded or you had a jib garden somewhere like in years previous.

Yes do it! Also do you know if you guys can do a rail garden? I know you can't tell us yet but that'd be sick, maybe some cool other feature like you had with the 1/4 bowl. I am sure to come to Nashoba and go to most if not all the competitions next year. You guys are the best!

New Down Flat Down 4" Handrail underway. 8' Down 6' Flat 16' Down. That's right 30' of mayhem. Not to mention how unbelievably mellow this suckah is kid. I'll post a pic for you to admire tomorrow.

Check out a recycled beauty coming to life here in the shop. It's a 8' Down 8' Flat 16' Down 4" Handrail. The legs need to be taken off and reattached but the rail itself is done. Smooth and mellow. Switch that up!

Thanks in advance.

this feature would be bomb also is there going to be an option of a park only lift pass that would be cheaper than a regular season pass?

Hello everyone,

We will be offering a college pass for $199 which is valid Sunday through Thursday nights from 5-10pm. There won't be a park only lift pass this season but I can assure you I will pass this along to management. For now here is a new pic of the DFD well on its way to getting paint and plexi.

Looks sick Keith! I love the urban style on the DFD it looks sick. I've got some stuff kicking around in SketchUp as well that would probably go well with the current inventory. And one request, a cannon made out of a short corrugated to ~10' gap would be insanely fun!

Oh Cooper don't be a douche... He's clearly energetic about the season along with the rest of us. I wish more of you people would post on here and make my job a whole lot easier this winter... Just a thought.

Park only season pass would be ill. I know its out of your control but any type of lowering on season passes would be incredible, just so much money. New DFD looks so smooth, have a feeling it will get slayed.

We could be hiring this year for a few positions. Come to the Job fair in October. Training is provided. Any experience is preferred.

The Down Flat Down is fully complete and has taken its rightful place among the rest of the fleet.

stoked to see the progression of the park. we hit up nashoba a few times on our way to snow at it was always enjoyable. a park pass would be clutch, but I doubt there's a legit case for an ROI. It's cheap enough to snag a pass to enjoy lapping the park.

The new Metro Shelter fabrication is underway. There will be a nice creeper ledge surprise on the backside that will double as a ski and snowboard tech area complete with tools for fixing your gear. You will just have to ride with us this season to get a chance to shred it...

I dunno I mean you could get tech on the sides too and you prolly wouldn't fall off. Also you can use the sides as like stair tranny and go off early maybe. I think it would be sick if it was like

_
___I I___
I I

instead maybe so you can have creeper ledges on the sides and still have a rail with less danger...

it looks sick, at least from a snowboarders view because you could hypothetically nose-press your way to the top!
