RICK_ROSSthey have a lot of rails for abay as of monday. 3 or 4 rails in the upper line, i honestly cant rember what, then 3 in the lower line and 3 "jumps". flat bar, tube, and a flat down.
but if your going to abay to ski park i feel bad for your soul.
FluffysnowkittyIts not like he really has a choice when everything else is closed for the season................
Brocka_FlockaI remember when they used to build some descent jumps like 3 or 4 years ago. Any idea why they stopped?
SwitchMisty540Limited water for snowmaking and a world class terrain park just down the road. Nobody goes to A Basin to ski park unless it is early season or late season and everyone else is closed. Jumps cost a lot of money to build and it just doesn't make sense for a place like A Bay. Besides, there are natural jumps all over that mountain that are way more fun.
ABasinTPKind of touched on it here. Mainly space and snowmaking are the issues. Believe me no one wants the jumps that we used to have back more than the guys on our crew, but we will continue to try and provide something fun for the rest of the season that people will enjoy.
SwitchMisty540Hey nice job with what you guys have. That flat/down/flat in the top park is super fun. I noticed you guys have a bunch of boxes and rails fenced off up there. Any chance that stuff will be setup at all throughout May? I remember a flat/up box from last year we were all trying to flip off.
Emma_Watsonupper park is a 20-25 foot downrail, 15 foot drop rail, a 20 foot flat down flat triple tube, and like a 10 foot skinny straight rail.
The windlip on lower east wall is ballin

SwitchMisty540Looks like East Wall and Land of the Giants might be closed for the season. There was a lip at the bottom of Land of the Giants right before the runout to Lenawee that was much better than the one at the top. Sucks they had to close it.
Emma_Watsonthat is very unfortunate.
park crew should build up a jump
SwitchMisty540The jumps in the park are pretty sweet actually. And they have been opening terrain as temps drop and snow accumulates. A lot of the terrain off Pali is open again and it looks like East Wall might open up for the weekend or early next week.
Emma_Watsonnot at all my friend. Park crew doesn't have the right snow or the go ahead by management to push anything bigger than 7 feet.
