No pipe this year apparently. Anyone know if it'll be back next year or if they're phasing it out for good?

very upset that they did this went today and i mean the features are nice and all but i would still prefer a pipe. They could have used like rusty nail or fools gold for a park but I guess this warm winter is making them do what they can

Hit it up today set up is ill! So much fun to ride especially up top where they still have the banks on either side. I definitely support this style set up or a plain mini pipe over a super pipe.

It's not a super pipe tho... Still takes a lot of snow maybe they'll shape the top section of it into a really mini pipe?

I would love to see them build some type of QP rather than a normal pipe.

we are lucky to even have some snow left. this season sucks so far. glad to see they still made use of the space for a nice jib area. be blessed guys. honestly id love to see superpipes go away and bring back the 15' pipes that us normal guys can have fun on.

This is stupid. They have plenty of parks. There aren't very many pipes left on the east. Just because you don't like, your cant shred a pipe, doesn't mean their aren't plenty of people who get down in them.

I'm hoping this is just for this year with the lack of snow. It's understandable, it's been a rough here for the east coast. If this is actually a direction they're trying to move it's a pretty poor move imo. That said, it's pretty likely a result of this shitty east coast season.

It's normally an 18' pipe. What are you talking about.

Meh, its not even a 22'. Deal with it.


Also can they really claim this as another park? I mean it's the same trail as the other small park right next to it.

Whenever they had the full pipe open, it barley got used. To have it as a rail garden, or a smaller pipe (this would be my preference) would make much better use of the space I think

It's super fun, you can hit Nitro and then gap over the previous pipe wall. The rails are also pretty fun, with a ball at the bottom
