Is it just me or does last year’s park dwarf this year’s setup? Anybody have the story on that?

Absolutely hyped for what’s to come out of this week.

On another note, this suit Magnus made out of an old couch has got me asking all sorts of questions, but that’s nothing new.

TRVP_ANGELWinter Park heard Carson Kerr was a finalist so they had to size down the features to not hurt his feelings


I think that’s some Superunknown lingo my dude

Yes, the park is definitely bigger this year. Yesterday was insane, pretty much every feature got destroyed. Social media got maybe 1% of what went down, the edits are going to be nuts.

i think they're using both side of the lift now so the right side might look smaller or less crowded with features

This isn't true (sadly). All the Kimbosessions features are on the skier's right side of the lift. On the left are some melted out leftovers from the regular Klappen park, the same as every year. - Twig

This year’s park is bigger? From pictures it’s looks a lot simpler but pictures must not do it justice. I guess they’re not super comparable when you really look at it. Thanks for the input!

I guess the best way to describe it is that the number of features is pretty identical this year but the individual features are definitely bigger. If you take the roller in your second photo (though that is from 2017) and compare it to the rollers the 2019 photo, and use the size of the people as reference, you can see the difference. The walls of that channel are something like 8 meters (25ish feet) high. There's also a huge feature at the bottom that you can't see in that photo, with hips going both directions and a channel in between. In the channel there's a 15m flat down rail and one side has a takeoff on the wall of the channel.

Using that channel for a wall ride to rail transfer looks absolutely terrifying
