i was there yesterday and it looks like they're just blowing snow now, so probably in a week or two, depending on the weather. The rails on gunbarrel are cool, though. I hope they set up the rest soon.

jarrod says he just wants to hurry up and get a jump up at this point, even if its not as big as last years to start out, but next week is spose to be cold as hell so they are going to hold off till the end of next week and see how much they can blow. so give it a week and a half or 2 and well have a jump.

well... possibly... they got like a 15 ft jump at the bottom. they took the 2 rails from the bunny hill and put them side by side at the bottom with a little jump inbetween. theres one big pile of snow at the top that could easily be made into a jump, but other then that, i dont see how it would be possible for a good size jump unless they can make shit loads of snow fast and make a jump in a day

we dont BLOW anything boys, get that shit straight.


snowMAKING weather is in the forcast, this weeks start of the points series will run a lot like a rail jam, with the intention of a re-arrange after the snow making session to add 2 jumps, the 60, a trap, the c box, a down box, a flat down box, and eventually (hasnt been started yet) the roller coaster box.

in anyevent. bare with me here, snow is at a premium right now, due to the rain and hot weather. a jump is not possible out of the snow at the end of the race course, im hoping that;ll be enough to set the c up for friday evenings event.

as soon as the temps drop, i;ll have my guy in a cat tilling out the course so we wont have to session on brick, it;ll be as nice as i can get it.

keep it rad

as of today, there werent any jumps onto the boxes. it was like they were in the ground. id rather see the coaster done instead of those minor corrections though.

I was gonna go but there are 3 qualifiers and then the finals this year. I didn't feel like doing all of them. Why is there a need for so many qualifiers? There weren't that many people there last year. And from what I read, it seemed like you had to do all of the qualifiers to get to the finals.

you've got to place in one of the 3 qualifiers....

basically, im taking the top 5 skiers, top 5 boarders of EACH of the 3 qualifiers to come up with 15 skiers, 15 boarders and a couple of invites for the big air comp with the cash prize.

the idea being that if you've got 3 chances to get yourself into the big event.
