Sorry for not putting this in regionals, I just need responses quickly and thought that would be more likely here. Just wondering what ski sundown's park setup is looking like right now; I'm trying to decide where to ski today.

Not sure about sundown's park, but Southington has 2 tiny kid rails, 1 mellow down rail and 1 mellower down box. Plus this weird jump thing at the bottom which is really just a pile of snow. Good enough if you just want to hike the down rail or take some cruiser laps off the double chair.

Sundown probably has a more legitimate setup but they don't have that soul like Southington does.

Southington is pretty sick right now, or at least it will be soon. 10 rails/boxes and 2 jumps. We've got a killer top section designed like a skatepark, and 2 jumps. First one is a 10ft step up, second one is true 35 to the knuckle, 40 to the sweet spot.

Ski Sundown has two trails with features on it...
Stinger: FDF round rail, DFD, Lift tower, Skinny up rail to lift tower, and 32' flat bar
Toms Treat (small park): Small Flat bar, Up rail donkey dick thing, 10ft Jump

This is what I saw today, not sure if they are doing rebuild... most of the sundown chatter nad park updates are in this thread: https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/792587/Ski-Sundown-2014-2015?page=3

I race at southington with my high school (i know kill me, but its worth it) and there park does look a lot better then usually. last jump has some good size but i have yet to see anyone huck off it from the lift.

but really, go to bnut. nice and long park run with tons of fun rails.
