Anyone know whats gonna be open park wise tomorrow? Saw that the spot jumpline is closed. Local resort just shut down so I'm thinkin of taking a little roadtrip but wanted to make sure the parks are worth it at this point.

Tow rope park is done. The alley is pretty fun. They have like 10ish rails.

Alley is meh. The rails are ok. Nothing special. The jumps are unclearable.

Santa's beard absolutely blows. The rope tow is closed and there is like a flat box and a jump.


The halfpipe is still open. The rest of the spot is closed for the Rev Tour (I'm normally not one to rip on comp skiing, but Rev Tour can actually fuck off with closing the entire spot. What the fuck).

Is it worth a 3.5 hour drive and 75$ lift ticket?

I can't answer that for you as our standards are probably very different. In December I drove 5 hours just to hit a flat rail. If you need to get your last session in, then go for it.

I don't think anywhere east of Denver is worth that. Especially this year. That's a lot of money to ski on dirt.

Oh god, there is not shit on those cameras. I was trying to come up next weekend but I don't think they'll last that long. What do you locals think? will they consolidate their snow at all in an attempt to build a new park? Or just hold out for the mashed potato meltdown?

They're open Saturday then they're done. From what I've heard the backside will not be open. They'll probably make an ok setup in the beard or in arctic blast. Thanks to Rev Tour, Good Company photo shoot, and Burton U.S. open, mashed potato meltdown isn't till April 16th.

They're trying to have it sooner but that seems like the best date for them so far. Kinda sucks. Usually a late meltdown=mediocre setup.
