So finished the complete rebuild of all of our park lines last night. Everything is on point from the Shred park on the Dutchman, the Core park on 49ner, the superpipe, Acceletron jumpline, KidzX and the lower night park. We went a little crazy with the zaugg in the lower night. The top half is a tranny riders dream come true. On the left coming out of the pipe you have a roller tranny wall, turning into a bowl corner, feeding into a wallride that follows into a tranny hip ending as a mini pipe wall. Coming to the right out of the superpipe you are meet with a full zaugg QP that hips into another mini pipe wall. Between the two mini walls we set up the pyramid podium box. The rest you can see int he picture. As we continue to get more snow, look for these trannies to extend the whole length of the lower night park
Just to let you know the format has changed from a Superpipe comp to a Big Air comp on the 2nd Jump in the line of 7. Sorry all you pipe jocks, maybe we can get another event for you before the end of the season.

Park Report 2/21/2009After finally getting some snow we are trying to put new features on the hill as fast as possible. Shred Park on lost dutchman just got a whole new line put in over the last 2 nights, and expect more features to go out everywhere. The acceletron jumpline just got rebuilt and we are working on changing the roller in the line into a transfer gap. Over the next few nights we will be working on the 49'er park adding more jibs and also building the Battle Arena down by the acceletron lift terminal. If you have any suggestions or comments on the park or would like to see a certain feature setup let us know and we will see what we can do.

looks like the forecast is going to play out as promised:today 11"sat 2"sun 8-14"mon 6-10"tues 4-8"wed 6-10"So when visibility allows we will continue farming snow into the upper 3jumps of the Acceletron line to get the spacing better and adjust the heights to get the flow as good as possible. Our forecaster is also saying the snow will continue through the end of next week so until it stops the superpipe is going to continue to sit collecting snow until the weather allows for the rebuild back to 18ft...we waved good bye to the 22fter yesterday as it was loaded on a truck heading to the tour finals in Killington.Once all these storms pass we should be well on our way to a full build out of the all mtn park...BX course, bmx jump lines, rail alley, the CORE park on 49ner, mini pipe, new lower night, new Shred park out on Lost Dutchman and of course the Acceletron jumpline...E-
We appologize for the long time without park reports but we are finally getting back into the swing of things after the grand prix. Eric and Jay just finished building 3 new jumps on the Acceletron jumpline so now we have 6 jumps and soon will have 7 with the fourth jump in the line being changed into a channel gap. We are finally getting snow, so as soon as this storm system moves through we will be setting up all the features we can possibly fit on the hill. The pipe is getting rebuilt back into the 18' pipe and will be open soon.

Park Report 1/20/2009Look for some surprises in the NIGHT park for tomorrow. Hollywood and Cmarble are going to put some old favorites back into play tonight. Looking ahead in the week expect to start seeing jib lines on 49ner in the CORE park. The pipe rebuild is going along really well. Jay and I have finished stacking the new walls. The new zaugg was hooked up today and tomorrow we start cutting. Not only are the decks nearly as tall as chairs on Accelerator at the top of the pipe, the pitch is now well over 17degrees. This monster is going to be all tranny with with almost no flatbottom being built to the new Olympic standard. People are going to be boosting out of this thing. With the build going so smooth it should just be another 2-3 days till we're done.SUPERPIPE - closed for Grand Prix Rebuild - Soon to be a 22' pipeAcceletron Jumpline1 Step up Jump3 Table top Jumps1 Step Down JumpKids X Park10' Micro box5 Micro jumps15' Rainbow BoxLower Night ParkS-BoxLarge Wall RideFlat BoxFlat RailDance FloorMini Wall Ride / Corrugated Pole Jam OptionTable top jump2 C-boxesDown Rail/Flat Down Box StaircaseDown RailCorrugated Tube SpineTire Bonk Step DownPyramid Tire Bonk" The FrankenBox" - Wallride/Ledge Combo FeatureTower Tube Flat Down Rail Shred Park - Lost Dutchman10ft ride on box15ft ride on rail30ft down box15ft up/flat rail36' House Box36' Down-Flat-Down Boxmedium table topmedium table top24' Flat Rail 20' Up Box 24' Down Box
