Just went through and saw a couple of clips of McChesney and Wacko throwing down. The features are definitely huge, expecting to see some more hammers in the next few days!
Superpark is ran by snowboarder mag, which is owned by the same parent company as NS. Last year we got the opportunity to bring skiers, they we're stoked so we got to bring a slightly larger crew today. Look for more social and some videos in the fall.
I'm friends with one of the designers and he sent me a picture of a 5' dude standing next to a jump, and he was about a fifth of the jump height. This wasn't even the biggest jump.
SofaKingSickthat main table made by mammoth is so stupid absurdly big :|

That's not big. Park City used to build step downs that large before they turned into giant pussies.
Coming from a kid who doesn't ski PC and joined NS before the jumps I mentioned.... You're like super legit.
PCMR and other resorts used to build the biggest jumps before they turned into pussies because of stupid shit like liability. This is just another cheese wedge but with a landing as tall as the takeoff.... pussy shit.

They never built a 115ft jump with a 50ft tall lip cut out...

PC (and other resorts) did used to build some reckless big jumps. But what is built and the way it's built at super park is un precenteded. You really have to see this stuff in person to appreciate it. Even the mellow jumps (60') are so well done. And these are the warm up jumps. The real jumps, hips and rails are absurd. There are 400+ snowboarders and skiers invited and only a handful get shots. That alone should tell you how gnarly everything is. Being invited to this event is extraordinary and should be cherished. Beyond hyped snowboarder mag is allowing more skiers to take part. Look at the photos and videos on snowboarders site and you almost understand how insane everything is.

How much does it cost to hold an event like this, or even push up a big jump. Thats an enormous amount of snow

Heard a rumor the big mammoth jump and hip were around $25k. There were somewhere around 2 dozen main features I think. The builds can get rather pricey but very worth it. Bringing the snow community together like this to push the progression and camaraderie is key to the future of skiing and snowboarding. This was quite possibly one of the best Super Parks in history. Very happy that some skiers got to take part.
