theabortionatorCarinthia used to be the sickest. Bummer to hear.
SofaKingSickdude yeah. nitro was super fun and long but kinda small features often
inferno was dope but usually empty
GULCH was the sickest, and usually pretty open cause most people flock to nitro
theabortionatorYeah getting nearly first tracks end of day on inferno. Prospector was so sicl. Gulch always good. I didn't hit nitro as much on the weekends but always cool. I liked just being able to try a trick on a down bar and then after 4 laps feeling dialed from all the rails.
KilaTsunamiBig Boulder would have entered the chat but they massacred that place. Used to be heaven for an east coast park rat
theabortionatorSad i never made it to may day. Never could get friends that wanted to go and was pretty far. We would drive to mt snow and set up rails till the end up june some years though. Also the mini ramp pre new lodge was fun.
Bb seemed like a crazy spot as well. RIP

Goretex_VidalThey’ve done it to every mountain they’ve taken over. They can sell more tickets if they rip out the parks and make ‘em a green trail on the map.

DummyBearsSolution is to go ski peace park at killington
skiermanWAIT. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME VAIL IS PURPOSELY KILLING OFF THEIR PARKS BECAUSE ITS NOT PROFITABLE ENOUGH?!!?!
I always wondered why the parks have severely decreased in quality and in some cases strait up disappeared at BRECKENRIDGE, PARK CITY, SUNAPEE, VAIL, KEYSTONE, WHISTLER, ROUNDTOP, LIBERTY, OKEMO, MOUNT SNOW and CROTCHED have all gone to shit in the past few years. Wow, thanks for sharing this surprising and not expected at all.
teamdummySeven Springs, are you paying attention? You’re next on the Vail hit list.
KilaTsunamiThey’re not on the pass we all get
isaacwrongThis is all fax..runs are too long and have been pretty boring. IMO nitro is overrated. I'd always hit the upper few rail pads, hit tunnel vision to prospector and then lap through the farm. Fools gold terrain is prime as it's kinda twisty and turny. Nitro is just a massive cleared trail that you can practically see top the bottom of the lift aside from the farms headwall

DeebieSkeebiesBreaking news: Lawsuits aren't profitable. More at 10.
hi_vis360Meanwhile places in Europe have XXL mega booters open to the public because you can’t just sue other people for your own mistakes there

SkiBum.This is not new or news. You all knew this was coming
Also that Carinthia park set up was way to big to begin with. 2 park trails there is more then enough. That terrain is much better for intermediate skiers and that new lodge. That brings in money.
Farmville420From what I’ve seen carinthia has actually invested more in the park this year than previous years (previous as in the past like 3 or 4). Chris dejon was posting some new features and for the amount of snow they’ve been building some pretty good stuff. Someone in another thread said they noticed some historic vail parks firing lately and that management may have actually started to re-invest in their park again which is dope. I am hopeful tbh, the future is bright as long as the weather permits it
isaacwrongI will say the gulch setup looks pretty fun/unique. think what I've noticed is how later in the season things start to go stale and features don't get changed out. I'm pretty sure the gulch only got like one update in years past. Nitro always just has short rails and the booters. I've mentioned it before, upper fools gold has the perfect grade for chill rail laps but they refuse to actually put features up. Super mellow and flowy.
KilaTsunamiCarinthia wasn’t too bad last weekend. They don’t have a lot of snow. My only complaint was the metal rails were dangerously sticky lol
Farmville420Temp change = sticky rails, and VT will go from 10 degrees to 60 like every other day
KilaTsunamiThat makes sense. I was this close (🤏) to buying a can of Pam and spraying them bad boys down.
theabortionatorJust get some silicone spray if you're gonna spray them
Klinger07VAIL SUCKS. Carinthia is putting in less rails every year and hasn’t done inferno or the pipe for 2+ years. Anyone know if they are gonna start to put in more shit or is this how it’s gonna be forever? They did get some new metal this year though😁

KilaTsunamiNgl I only said Pam because I seen Carinthias park crew do it all last year and it worked like a charm. I honestly didn’t follow thru cuz I didn’t wanna piss off any of the old heads that might not like super slick rails. I’ve done that before when skateboarding and felt like a twat lol.

bogustYeah today the two fat tubes were so sticky I couldn’t 2 on and swaps were super sketchy
