I really cannot handle this. I know its pathetic, but staying on the tow rope at the top is such a struggle if there's no one around you

how about you try maintaining a park when there is 200 kids constantly lapping the park... and pretty sure our rails are on point...

Trolls rails are always perfect. Only hill where the lips onto the rails are actually well made, none of that ride on bullshit or lips all the way to the top of the rail. You guys do a great job at making what I think is the best park around.

wtf are you talking about? I wasn't dissing troll, I was just talking about that day where the tow kept stopping. Yes I love your guys' park, so much, (I have to go to welch) and somehow you can maintain it. jesus

Less crowds, gnarly jibs, better management. It's like the troll of the northland, just gotta watch out for the boogie-woogie one skiers

Just rode spirit for an icy hour. Did a switch up switch up 2 and my mustache froze

Just an fyi, their park seems to go to shit by around 11, and it doesnt get groomed till next morning. I went to a ski till three last year and the park was beyond terrible. Incredibly rutted and icy despite no above freezing temps during the day.

I've heard their daytime park is a blast but if the ski till 3 is anything like last year, dont plan on havi good conditions f

They don't have any really big jumps. There's a 30 footer that's pretty sweet, and another with a stupid steep lip that's a bit bigger, but the landing is super mellow, so it's a no-go.

It's $10 for 3 hits, $40 for 20, an they have some rates between those. The lip is super steep, but I haven't hit it yet. There are pics on their fb page though.

you're lucky, welch is never having jumps again, all the rails have to be straddle - able, and the park is tiny. I would pay good money to hit a 30 footer.

Cuz welch is all about the FAMILIES and CARVING and RACING and the BEST and PREMIER resort in the midwest. They have their STEEPS to cater to and the BACK BOWL.


I don't see why they can't do both, they're filthy rich, I mean for god's sake they could at least buy some new rails. So yeah whenever I talk to someone that's from Buck or Hyland that's at Welch they always ask in despair "Is this all you've got?"

Don't get me wrong, welch used to have a fucking crazy park, but they became retarded and now it's just... a novelty :'(
