XxRoSSiSCraTchxX, Last year was my first with the park at Cannon and I was able to put together some nice hits but the rails had to wait. We are planning to have a bunch of rails of each level added to the park this year. I am also giong to be in charge of the Pipe this year so it should take...

Ski Cannon now, Cause I'm building up the park there, but it's also got the best terrain. Inbounds and out. Also skiied Wildcat(best for top to bottom lapping of great terrain, HSQ great views), Ragged(interresting terrain but short vertical, overpriced and crowded), Loon(good facilities, top...

Thanks as usual for the feed! Looks like the next change should be in the next week! Popular request has been for a step up. The kite is getting tired so I'll probably remake it. Keep the ideas comming! Galen Cannon Mtn Park Designer

Well, I hope you'll be able to come back! Try it on a Tues. The Park will have been groomed Mon night and it is still a two-fer day. I'm off on Wed and Thurs so it isn't usually groomed on Thurs or Fri.

I just finished reworking the park after the thaw/freeze cycle. Last night I took apart all of the landings (death ice) and put them back together with snow. Tonight I rebuilt the take-offs. The fifth and eighth jumps on the list have been boosted in length into the 30' range by request...

How often do you get to ski? Where? Why? Just curious...bored actually. Didn't get to ski today.

'If I can farm enough snow in, the second of the two tables, (two hits 20' + 30'), will boost to 30' + 40' on Friday. ' '(2 option table), has been boosted to 20' to the lip and may see 30' by Sat. ' I had to kife some snow from the beginner trail next door (they weren't using it) but I got...

Gotta pic? I've never seen one. I can imagine it, but it might not be what you're thinking of. If not, describe one and I'll see what I can do!

'Make them bigger!!!' I have been working the size up as we go. When we first opened the park, few people would hit even the 20' jumps. As more people come to jam, and people get used to the larger hits, I bump up the sizes and put in a new small jump. If I can farm enough snow in, the...

So I'm guessing the board doesn't like quote marks representing inches. Really, 6 INCHES wil do wonders for the Tramline. We got an inch yesterday, looks like and inch or two tonight, I'll be skiing it. Galen

So I just read my own post... Who wouldn't benefit from a 6' storm?!! I meant 6'. oops. oh well.

Just finished reworking the park for the upcomming vacation weeks. Took a couple of tired elements out and scared the patrol with the monster kite. Think kite shaped table 20' high or so, long take off ramps on each short side of the kite and long steep landings on the long sides creating two...

The tramline trail is SWEET! It is steep and technical, with large boulders that create manditory air sections. The thaw/freeze did no damage to the base, it actually helped to consolidate the base and keep it in place. We've gotten a little snow since then, and there are several days of snow...

I'm bored with a couple of the hits in the Cannon park so I'll be changing them this week. I'd like to know what your favorite hit is. Size, type, or even specific jumps you've seen at a hill. Include pics if you want. You may see your jump in the park! I hope you'll come check out the park...

I uploaded a few pics of the park. Nothin' fancy but you can get the idea.

We've been working on some of the suggestions for the terrain park that we've received here and at the mountain. Here's the rundown: We added a 24' straight rail on Sunday and a picnic table on Monday. I reworked the halfpipe to more standard specs from it's initial configuration. It was recut...

smuggs, xpingxpongx 'the cannon rail' Thanks for the suggestion! I've got someone looking into it! 'by the way i ve never been to cannon but since i hear that you have a descent park up i think i'll check it out as soon as i get another car (a few weeks). whats the lift ticket price there...

Stept, Thanks for the feed. I'm psyched you like what we've done so far! 'YOU DO NEED SOME GOOD JIBS' We should have a straight rail up soon, possibly tomorrow, I'll know when I get there. One of the shovel team guys is working on putting together a double kink rail and I have my...

I have finished building the jumps section of our terrain park and would like to get some feedback. I have brought my 5 years of park building experience to Cannon this year in the hope of helping them to kick it up a couple of notches. Is there anyone who will be skiing Cannon and could let me...

Hey, I think a freeride team at Cannon would kick ass! And yes we are going to get a decent park! Actually I hope to make it a sweet park. I have been asked to build and maintain the park there this year and the park team really wants to step it up this year. I will be building the initial...
