Who's been up there so far? What do they have set up?


I might be there the 19th, so if you'll be there, let me know.

I was there today. the set up was this one after another: reasonably long urban down rail, battleship box, slightly shorter urban down rail, rainbow box. It was pretty fun for what it is

Thanks, yeah, I figured it wasn't much, given the lack of snow. Hopefully they add some more features by next week, are you going to be there by then?

i didn't buy a pass anywhere this year so i don't really have a home mountain. campgaws one of the closest mountains to me though and i was pretty impressed with how much fun i could have there so theres definitely a chance. I'll tell you if i am gonna be there for sure

Oh word, I'll still probably stop by. On another note, I can't wait for spring, you guys usually have a pretty nice setup by then.

two years ago we had an amazing closing day setup, i can only hope we can come close to that again, unfortunately management wants to keep the park scaled down this year

What? You guys blew up the past 2 years, partly because of the park scene. This doesn't make much sense.

Yea I'm really not a fan of the decision, last year we'd have kids come up from over 2 hours away to ski our hill and this year basically the only kids in the park are employees

I'll be there saturday. I think I ran into a few of you guys this past weekend after i completely ate shit on the lower rail, then we had a short (teaching the gf how to ski day) convo about filing edges haha. We'll see how that works saturday, feel free to say hey.

I was there for like an hour after work tonight, didn't really hit much (nothing except battleship box) but it did look fun. Psyched to see if more goes up soon, though I'm happy with how that flat bar looks... I need to learn 270 out.

Weather/Management permitting, the coolest rail feature ever put in at campgaw will be unveiled saturday for your riding pleasures. I can't yet reveal what it is, but its gonna be pretty damn sick

probably gonna be closed off until 1-2ish depending on how long the jam goes, maybe earlier, and then we should be opening to the public

the set up is prime. up top there is a donkey dick next to it there is a box to pig/stall to another box
on the bottom there is a double barrel next to a flat bar with a pretty nice drop...fun to try some 4s

Setup was prime yesterday, everything Byanelli said, plus a small kicker...but big enough that I could pull backflips..and I got a nose butter 5 which was cool. So /claim, but definitely come check it out! Always great vibes at gaw.

One of my friends got his 4FRNT MSPs jacked yesterday at gaw, if anyone knows anything or hears of anything please let me know, its reaaal shitty to lose your skis, let alone to lose them when you're an employee and losing them during your shift

Haven't been there in a few weeks, but I'll keep a lookout when I'm there. Though i doubt whoever stole them will try and use them there, unfortunately. That's so shitty.

i regret to inform everyone that operations of our park have been taken over by our ski school manager without park crews knowledge, and all the rails have been taken out, leaving us with 4 of the shittiest jumps ever built. Park crew and the skiers/snowboarders of campgaw have been greatly disrespected by this decision, so i ask that you all take your business elsewhere, which is a shame since i've considered campgaw a second home for the past 4 years.
