Any mountains in the northeast getting rid of rails this summer?

Anybody know of any mountains getting rid of any park features?

I know there are always places building new features and getting rid of old ones. Just figured I would ask if people knew of anything at the moment.

Because I want to buy some depending on what's available, what condition, how far a drive, and how much they want.

Why don't you just call your local mountains and ask them? And do they actually sell rails to random people who ask?

I have. It depends on the place. Some places only hook up the other mountains close to them, sometimes places will keep their old stuff and use it toward other builds.

I decided to make this thread because their are a ton of mountains and I know that some people on hear might be working on stuff, or know what's going on at some of them.

I have. I'm building a few more/ finishing others up this fall. If I can get some rails that are built for the right price I would help out a lot. I'm still going to finish what I've been working on but it would be nice to get some other stuff.

I did a while back. Understandably they were still trying everything to somehow make it stay in business.

I believe the mountain is being auctioned off as a whole tomorrow. I wish they would have sold me a couple boxes, would have been prime. I'm def staying up to date on that and seeing what the new owners intend to do after this auction is done.

i see, hopefully theyre able to bring it back, had two awesome years of camp there regardless of how ghetto the sleeping arrangements and food were hahah. dylan is the man and evan is basically a pioneer of the sport, and although i never skied there during the season it seems like a sick after school or night spot, and the best summer setup ive hit

For sure. I only made it there once summer 07 or 08. Hit the setup there in the rain. Drove like 5 hours not including getting lost. Had a pretty wild adventure.

sketchy OP is buying 4 flat boxes, a cbox, bow/dragon box, aframe rail, flat down rail, down rail, 2 round tube flat rails, 2 2x6 flat rails.


YOLO


Also just posting since I bumped this the other day. I am no longer looking for any rails for this season.(Well, unless they're stupidly cheap or free)

How much did all that cost you, and how big is your back garden?

About $3.50

But really $1000. It's for a small mountain though. Adding to the other stuff I built for them/ am building it should be a good year.


I gave away everything from my yard. 17 foot drop in just went last fall, brought some of the steel I had over to the mountain. I'm at whatever mountain all day the last 8 years I wouldn't have time to ride anything in my yard anyway.
