dont worry about the jumps, they both sucked. people just made them and the jumps were better when the hill wasnt even open. the rails were about a 10-15 foot flat bar adn the other was a downward kinked rail, both fairly small

there was this really crapped up jump with a landing that was pretty much we grass and my friend tried a misty off it. it was pretty funny, he just popped outta his skis and went tumbling down. if he had more air he woulda got it no problem.

At around 3:00 there was another jump built with a better landing. But it wasnt the greatest jump for spinning.

yeah, the kink rail was fun, no jumps up today though, and the flat rail had a dent/nick in it so it was dangerous.

And I was the other guy helpin (with the old white 1080s)
We ended up losing close to an hour of ride time because the ski patrol where a little slow getting to him and well they needed our help aswell.

not so far, their more concerned with opening hills, i bet they'll make some once they have more hills to dispurse the crowds, worse comes to worse make your own, people have already done that and as long as no body really hurts themselves on it they dont really care.

Can somebody just tell me what the hell is up there right now! It is monday the.. hold on let me check... the 12th. As for setting up rails... When i was there last i saw some guys trying to make a kicker to one of the rails... the trap i think it was. Are you aloud to do that? Just grab a rail and dig it in somewhere? And, if there isnt a rail to work with, can you ask for one?

na dude, they were fixing the jump to the rail because snowboarders and skiers go off to the side flatting the jumps down. also the rails are ride on so they trying to make them as durable as possible. oh ya we are also getting a C rail and a battleship in the near future.
