Noticed all the other threads are started up. Thought I'd get this one going. Anyone know if they are gonna add features/move the park so its accessible from the lift this weekend? Probably gonna be there Sunday.

idk if it will be a zoo.... yea itll be busy but not as bad as usual i think.... after the rain and it being warm, no one will think the skiing will be good. so no one will go. especially all the people that go once or twice a year. atleast thats my thoughts.

and just to throw this out there. loon has been resurfacing trails all day and all night at full capacity so hopefully it will be good. they do wonders with good temps so i hope it wont be too bad

its not as bad up there as i thought it would be... where they have snowmade its really nice and soft.

although the park is a little hard (only a little icey) and with some snow showers coming i think that will help

but the bottom rail section looks really fun right now. hopefully its open on wed!

40 a person. so my team would cost 120 or 160$ just to enter. I have a season pass, so the lift ticket does nothing for me. maybe i'll just go and make an unofficial entry with my franns.

pipe will be closed on sunday.

video games wont close anything... its an edit contest so nothing needs to be closed.

idk why you would compete instead of getting a pow day though. the park is gunna blow. your gunna get no speed.

trees are a bit boney still- you can find some good snow but its not hard to break through to the layer below and really tear up your skis- one more good dump of snow and the glades will be in great shape, but i wouldnt recommend going in just yet

I've been skiing black for glades and it's not bad. Yeah there are some spots that are pretty thin on cover but if you take your own lines the 2 feet of pow help keep your skis from harm.

Got rid of the flat tube, now it's another flat box. Got rid of the down tube now its a small DFD, and got rid of the flat down box and replaced it with a "dragon" rail. Overall changed for the worse

was there today, but I was with my old man so no park laps (not to mention...I suck in the park)

pretty decent conditions overall. Plus after 12:30, the place was absolutely deserted. Chair to chair, every run, no lines.

Went to loon today. they closed the park yesterday. Honestly i am disappointed. They made an even more stupid at the beginning. The one they had before was better, not that it was that good. The park crew hasnt doesnt anything and never changes up the park anymore. Springboard has that stupid 5ft dfd instead of the fun big round tube. and then 2 boxes right after eachother at the top. Honestly they need to step it up. Killington, and waterville have stepped it up big time.

They changed the top with a stupid wall "closeout" if you wanna even all it that, with a down flat on the right and another down flat on the left. those rails r dope but the wall thing is fucking stupid. Other than that loon is the same. Like i said, they dont change it anymore. they have so many rails and dont put hardly anything in.

they also set up the yellow half gate in the flat between the high cascade rail and the ledge to rail stairset feature.

and yeah.. the new "closeout" is a POS.

warning:

to anyone who uses the cut through trail from the family zone that you have to duck under the pipe at the end, snow-po has that shit on lockdown. DO NOT try and duck the closed sign. This past friday 50+ people's passes were taken for the day after ski patrol set up a blockade halfway down the trail..
