Rebuild is complete. Come check out the new (bigger, better, more shapely) features for yourself...
(3-4-09)
Time for a rebuild! If you haven’t been in the park over the past couple of days, you’ll notice some changes the next time you’re there. We re-stacked the jump line and made things a little bigger; check stuff out before you hit it. We also have added a combo rail setup and plan on putting up the 44 Magnum within the next couple of days. We plan to have the entire park rebuilt within the next week with a new feature or two that you haven’t seen yet; and if time allows with Grom Stomp and Stomp Games coming up, we’ll get Chair 2 Mound going too. Thank you mother nature! Hope everyone’s been having fun, I’ve seen a lot of new tricks being thrown over the past few weeks. Remember, make a plan, look before you leap, easy style it, and respect gets respect. See you in the park.

Down flat down rail is up! Swing by the park and check it out. Scope it a few times before going for it as it's definitely an expert only feature! Or spectate as Tyler and Josh get disasterous...

First off, CONGRATS TO NATE HOLLAND on his fourth straight snowboarder X title Saturday at the Winter X Games!!! We're heading into another great weekend up on the hill and the park just keeps on improving. New features have been popping up throughout the week. Don't forget about the Terrain Park Ediquette and Safety presentations every Saturday in the park shack at 12:30 PM. Stop by, say hi and give a few minutes of your time to GET SMART!

What a weekend! Those lucky enough to spend the last few days on the mountain, more specifically in the terrain park can vouch for the incredible (soft and spring-like) conditions we've seen. The park crew is cranking away nightly to perfect that jump line. Dan and Cole have been winching snow for the middle jump...check it out.
(1-20-09)
The weather has been gorgeous! Not a cloud in the sky for what seems like weeks now. More sunny skies today and temps in the high 40's. Take advantage of these spring park conditions while they last! If nothing else, come up and join these guys for a midday bbq.

Well, as you’ve probably noticed, we’re finally getting enough snow farmed to get some big landings pushed and some takeoffs built – well, one so far. The next two in the main line aren’t far off. We’ve been winching snow up from the flats below the park which is a slow and tedious process, but it’s the only way we’ll get the park built since we’ve used everything that’s convenient. As we get jumps built, I ask that everyone take a run or two to check features out before hitting them. That doesn’t mean sending your friend down to check it out for you; you need to know the size and shape of what you’re hitting. Ten minutes of your time could mean the difference between having a full season and sitting it out on the sidelines. And if you see others not following this advice, feel free to clue them in, they may not thank you at the time but it could save them a lot of trouble. Hopefully you can see our vision taking shape and are as excited for us to get more built as we are. We’re working every night to make that happen, I hope you’re having fun on what we have so far.
Sincerely,

Lucky for all you kids out there, the snow has taken a turn for the better as far as park construction goes. Cole and I’ll be pushing snow around over the next few nights to get a good base and a consistent platform to start building on. If you haven’t been in the park for a couple of days, we set up a flat-bar and a large tire jib to keep you somewhat entertained, I know the same three features can get a little old after awhile. Expect to be seeing new rail features popping up throughout the week in the Stomping Grounds; and with the snow we are supposed to get this week, we’ll begin farming for our main jump line soon. Thank you all for your patience throughout this slow start to the season, and beware the rocks at the main entrance and steep section of the park.
P.S. If any of you think the way the wallride set up is lame, don’t worry, that’s just where it sat all summer and we don’t have a better place to put it yet.
