Lol wut? If that's true that's lame. Was the jump super beat?

Interested in that story. That's a hell of a lot of snow to waste on a feature that people don't want to hit.

How are you confused by this? Some hills don't know how to build big jumps and they're too fucktarded to get someone in there that has the knowledge. It's happened at the Canyons resort every year they try to have a legitimate park shoot there and they're a legitimate resort. Imagine the troubles that a shitty resort like Seven Springs has to put up with.

OK, I'm sorry about that because the Canyons blows dick and comparing any resort to the jackasses that run the Canyons is simply not fair... I'm sure this PA resort will make it safe... well beyond anything what the crusty, fossilized jackasses at Talisker can pull off, anyways.

From all the money they seemed to be pouring into the parks, the major contests they've had, and some of the pics I've seen it seems like they know what they're doing.

And if they don't it seems like they have enough loot to bring some people in, especially if it's for a big shoot. Doesn't seem too smart to waste your snow, and make your mountain look bad by building a jump for a shoot that's too sketchy to even hit.

I mean I've seen plenty of awful jumps, I just haven't ridden anywhere or really heard of anywhere that's had a lot of trouble with building photo shoot setups

I think I remembered what i was told wrong. The one day that a friend went nobody was doing more than a 3 on it. But when they were done i think they let my friend hit it.

well skiierman, it appears you are retarded. Seven Springs builds arguably the best parks on the east coast every year and has a collaboration with SPT- you know, the people who build the courses for that X games thing?

And while it is a bummer that they are so obsessed with snowboarding exposure that they only give us big jumps for a little over a month every year, they are really starting to annoy me when they put on at least 10 snowboard events and 1 ski event in a season. Seven Spring's is so damn focused on snowboarding even when the parks are filled with at least three times as many skiers.

Are you talking about when it was open to the public? That's not a surprise. Hell inferno jumps were PERFECT in 08/09 and nobody was hitting them. That place was perfect. Nobody going in there, and the best park I had access to.

Seven Springs built the Snowboard Superpark a few years ago. The one that Sammy also killed.

As far as the beginning that's what I figured. Sure looks like they've been putting some effort in and I thought they were on the SPT train these days.

As far as the end I hear you. It's a legitimate thing. Even the promo video was all snowboarding if I remember. It's about ride 7 springs not ski 7 springs. I think that's just what they're trying to market it to. Seems a little ridiculous to alienate skier though. I me both sports are a huge part of parks.

^Sometimes people on this site forget that going the other way though

No I believe they were closed but he was filming and the park crew let him have a few hits. He just had to hike. Im pretty sure they were closed for the shoot though.

Your name is fitting.

1. I never insulted Seven Springs, only the Canyons because they deserve it.

2. I have no fucking idea what you are talking about but you are really stupid... or drunk... or both... who the fuck knows. You're a bitch either way so maybe being drunk will make you accepting that fact a bit easier... or a bit easier for you to fuck off forever. Either way, I'm happy... but really, fucking off forever would be best for everyone involved.
