I will be checking the park tomarrow to see what damage happened. A full report coming tomarrow. Also, if people want to go up and build jumps, or go and would post a report, do it here.
 
So I went and poked around a bit on chair three. All the jibs from this year are at the top, and if you want you can push them around and then hit them. Just put them on their slippery sides and slide them on the snow, and then flip them over and slide them on skis.

The Park is pretty trashed, but the third jump shows promise. They really didnt touch the landing, and pushed up some piles of snow in the tranny before the jump, so a step up is possible with a couple hours of shovelling. Message me if you are interested on doing something saturday.
 
And since noone around here has messaged me, I am sitting at home. Yesterday, Evan Kreps and I hiked up to Flower point, dropped into canyon creek, and then hiked back up to flower point and then did a ridge traverse out to Babys Butt and then came out on Russes street.

After that, we went over to the park and built a jump on the third table in the terrain park. It is a step up, and we couldn't get enough speed for it when starting at the park shed at the top, so maybe if a fast day comes it should be hittable.
 
And so I got tired of sitting, and went up alone. I put up two rails, the shotgun and the long round rail, on the cattrack between the top of chair three and the halfpipe. I would have moved boxes too, but they didn't slide as well. I need a sled to keep the tips from diving. If anyone goes up tomarrow, post something.
 
You're lucky your park is so close to the bottom that you can just go hike up, sounds like fun.
 
No doubt. What I really am amazed by is that Big Mtn just left their jibs lying around. I guess the laziness of the groomers paid off for once.
 
I wouldnt call it pow, but it was certainly fun to ski. We dug a pit on flower point, and the top ft or so was pretty granular and super wet while everything we could see below that was semi-wet but consistent w/out anything to create avies. We only went about 6 ft down, so there might be something below that but I'm not sure.
 
What? That step up hadn't even been touched yet. I am pretty sure we didn't wreck anything, unless your brothers the cat driver who wrecked it in the first place.
 
bro=friend. I have no brothers. he started building it the day after close. the weird tranny you were talking about, was where he was cutting out the snow to make it a stepup gap.
 
The landing probably cant support that kind of air. It is short, and not very long as you well know. Plus, Evan K and I were starting at the park shack and didn't have enough speed. To make it that big, you would need to start on top of chair 3.
 
That still doesnt address the size of the landing. By the way, I hiked up today, and it was dumping up top. Still decent snow, although I ate a large taco while skiing switch down Ptarmigan bowl. One tail punched through the crust and I proceeded to do a nice sw7 and then a few rolls.
