A lot more change for Dagmar again this year for the upcoming season! As of recently we have expanded to four parks at the resort and we have a park specific chair, (meaning people with rentals and no helmets are allowed on the lift at all). The two newer parks(turkey shoot and hawks hurst) will be the smaller ones, basic features for riders interested in freestyle riding.

The two parks from last year are still there with changes being done alot of dirt has been moved around the parks.

-The big park jump line will be a 4 jump line this year
-The impound has been widened and the jumpline in it has had dirt added to it
-Airbag will be open right away as soon as there is enough snow for the mound
-we got more new features this year including a DFD rail, Two stair sets, a closeout stair set, a massive water tank, a long fat tube goal post style and a fat horizontal (elbow) kink rail

The big straight tube

Almost all the features 55+ (missing the wall and some that weren't made at time of photo)

Plus we have started to make snow!!

Get stoked

I love you.


You guys should seriously consider getting a rope tow for the park for super fast lapping, like the one at the end of this video:

They have a lift that goes right from the bottom of the park to the top, there is literally no traverse time..

It would make absolutely no sense for us to do a tow rope for the park, the Big Daddy chair is all you need

it true that you guys are putting parks in the far right runs? ive heard from a couple people the those are gonna be tiny parks? if so that would be dope and help out lift lines on busy days and keep the tiny kids out of the park area keep em safe from gettin slapped

Yeah Turkey and Hawks Hurst are now 'baby' parks but not all just little features. There will be some cool features in them and a lot of dirt got pushed around on them.

Well it will be about the same at big daddy, more park riders but we lose people on that lift people if you dont have a helmet or if you have rentals, then you can't get on that lift at all.

Just let it ride out and wait till you see what Aaron has planned out for the parks. The new parks are going to be sick, lots of features and stuff to mess around on

But it's slow and hurts my butt...

and with a rope tow, you could just hop on and drop off at any feature or level of the park. Super awesome and way better than chairlifts.

They also make life a lot easier for snowboarders, so they don't have to strap in and out every run. I understand that it's pointless though because they've already got a chairlift going through the main park area. Maybe if they built a mini park?

The weekend of the 14th is more likely than this. Lakeridge only needs about two more nights of snowmaking to open up, so if the temperatures do drop Wednesday and Thursday as planned, an opening this weekend is absolutely possible.

Well both -Alpha2- and I are on staff and we haven't heard anything about this weekend, seeing as its basically halfway through the week, its probably going to be the weekend of the 14th

But anything is possible and sooner would be awesome!

That's honestly pretty debatable

I've been at louis 3 times this year so far, and I rode dag on friday night. You can get way more hits in at dag per hour because the features are top to bottom, and they're all pretty quality features.

Louis stuff is definitely setup better, but dags features are pretty fun and the park staff is on their game with maintenance, and the hot laps are a definite bonus
