Everyone at my ski shop keeps telling me that they expanded the mini terrain this year. Anyone have the inside scoop or pictures?

im probably wrong, but i've heard jam session is basically going to be double in size. with both the rope tows being longer and centered down the run? oh yeah, and they're putting a halfpipe in.

Halfpipe should be pretty chill. It's gonna take like half the lake to make that bad boy though.

Are they putting it in the mini? Seems like it wouldnt be nearly steep enough to put a pipe in there.

I'm barely ever even going to hit the pipe. I personally don't like them because i think the people there is no style in halfpipe unless your edollo

Edollo sucks. Pipe skiers are insane. If you've ever skied a 22 foot superpipe, imagine being 20 feet out of it. Those guys have bigger balls than anybody, hands down.
