Slopestyle course is busy, heaps of features, plenty of different lines but everyone's complaining that it's set up too much for snowboarders. The kicks aren't big enough, there's no real gaps to rail. Those that have been killing it: T-Dawg. The only one that's been going anywhere near as big is Dumont. Still plenty of time to go though. Next practice isn't until Saturday. Will let you all know what happens if I'm sober enough.

the more tiny are the jumps, the harder and the sicker it is...we'll see which riders are the most technical...I think that's good

yes much to large for them. and if candide's riding at breck last week is any indication of what he is going to do, i think he will defenetly be in it. but i think he may hold out a little, he wants pipe bad, you can tell. he has the 10 dialed now. or at least he did in the breck pipe, and we all know that anywhere else is a step down.

jumps a pretty sweet, the landings are huge...they can easily go over 15ft and still hit a downslop landing. there's 1 60ft. and the final booter is 55ft. after watching snowboard slopestlye today, the skiers are going to be able to throw down for sure. the only thing that inda sucks it that there is like a rail route where you miss like 2-3 jumps. and only hit 2 booters. It be interetsing to see how the use the course. This year will be the best x yet, trick wise.
