VinnieFfalse. Fortune is better for any skiing that's not in the park.
FitzRoyIs edelweiss still the call for park and fortune for non park?
CalumSKINaw not anymore
FitzRoyWhich would you recommend for park this year? Moving to ottawa for an internship this winter and im trying to decide which pass to get.

CalumSKILol nvm fortune is ass
edleweiss all day baby
icedyou seem to be familiar with both
hows ur impression of their park crews?
I might join either next season and was wondering if they have any staff rules like a spin cap or dont let you build weird shit at the top every shift
CalumSKIWhile I ski locally at fortune and coach their freestyle team, for absolute freedom of building features and having full support from the mountain, definitely go work for edel if you can. Fortune unfortunately doesn't really give any support of the park, barely sets up anything close to a good jump, and sometimes just sets it up midseason to make the park skiers shut up.
Pm me with any questions you have though about either and I gotchu!
icedthanks man that narrowed down the choice real good
CalumSKIhell yeah dude any time!
wouldn't mind ripping with a fellow NSer next year so give me a shout if you ever wanna ski together

coronaI think the problem with Fortune is nobody who currently works there who has a say about anything gives a shit about the park. So early season they do just enough snowmaking to get it open early but not enough to build nice jumps, then they prioritize literally everything else before putting groomer time into building a proper park. I think if they hired someone who actually would champion the park and put in effort it would make a huge difference. They've had people in the past who have done a decent job. I recall the jumps being pretty sweet when the park was over on Marshall. It might actually be worth looking to Fortune. I think all they need is one person with a vision for it and who is willing to be loud about it and it would really improve things.
asparagusLETSGOOOO ITS HAPPENING
cheerioMaaaan as if, this is sooo good news for Edelweiss. I remember being so bummed the year they got rid of the park pass. Smaller features and less random ppl standing in landings
Hope they buy more rails and have more than 1 actual jump next year.. they're in need of a solid medium sized dfd.. and honestly as many more tube rails (fat or skinny) as possible
