aiden516Wachusett just had one this past weekend, they were calling it their Cinco de Mayo Rail Jam. It wasn't a competition, just some fun shredding on rails that they had set up for the event.
mike759Is it worth driving from Long Island to Mount Snow for the Peace Pipe Jam?
theabortionatorBig boulder usually does may day the second weekend in may.
Mr.noodleTheres one at windham on May 23 the peace pipe at mount snow is the 28 I believe. D__h and I are attending both so pm me if you're going too
aiden516Anyone know how much the Peace Pipe jam costs?
theabortionatorFree fitty
Unless they've changed that but I doubt it. $10 bucks max and that's probably only if they're doing some sort of a donation. MS is pretty good about the freeeeeeee
Strange.Journey.any word on crotched's? any shop jams or anything in nh or vt?
RparrIs their big long tube I always see in the event videos set out every year? I would basically be going for that thing, it's beautiful
Titus69I hiked crotched 2 weeks ago and there was definetley enough, not like last years though. They wouldve had to break down a melted landing and push it to the next snow patch to make a good area for rails. Its bad, this weekend last year was when they had it at crotch and there was 3x the snow then there was when I hiked it recently. The park crew gave up the last 2 weeks of the season so I wouldnt expect one. Peace pipe at carinthia should be dope though.
theabortionatorNot sure which tube and no idea. There will very likely be a tube, I would be surprised if there wasn't a decent down tube of sorts.
How is crotched these days? I heard they kind of fell off a bit
Titus69The park crew wants to build big features, especially jumps but apparently peak resorts and the crotched manager wont allow jumps bigger than like 35-40' I think. This year they actaully put work in. Once the temps dropped in NH they built all 3 parks in about 2 weeks which was about 30-35 features in total. Its fun but my friends and I progressed to the point where its fun for 2-3 hours. They let it go to shit really early but I think theyre getting more serious, they just need more features and a better jump builder, the park crew aside from the groomers 2/3 volunteers. Toward the end of the season it became my place to ski after school and then Carinthia all weekend. If you can next season, try going in late February when everything is built. Im gonna ski there weekdays probably, I have a feeling theyll take it seriously, especially if the winter is better here, plus they have a kinda pro skater on park crew who does better than the manager and actually builds stuff and maintains it.
theabortionatorIMO you don't really need jumps bigger than 40 most places. I like big jumps but most jumps 40 and under get hit way more. Unless you have a ton of resources to spare you don't really need to go bigger. Doesn't make sense for a lot of mountains.
Idk if I'll be on the east next year but I'll look for edits and picture. They used to build some pretty cool stuff there. I think the last I rode there was the video park in 09 but they had a pretty sick setup.
Titus69Well at crotched now they say the jumps are bigger than they are. They also cant make a landing at all, this year the landing for the good jump was steep for 10 feet right off the knuckle then immediately flattens out, overshot many times. The skill level now amongst the regulars definetley want bigger jumps and we all push them to do it but theyre just not allowed to I guess.
Ill be skiing Carinthia most of the season, at least 3-4 times a week if I can and Im so hyped to spend lots of my gap year in VT.
theabortionatorTrue, That annoys me when people overstate their jump size. A 30 is a 45 etc. Just keep that shit accurate. Run a tape on the bigger jumps if you need to.
Should spend your gap year out west.
