its been a wicked busy summer for parks up here at big sky but i thought it drop a quick informal update on what will be happening this coming season.
3 brand new parks with major work to a 4th
pretty much all new across the board for parks.
as daph has said, swifty has received a MAJOR rebuild. Aside from the dirt we used to widen and build up the jumps, we used over 4k yards of dirt just to fill holes and level the grade on the upper part of the trail. thats equal to about 2 acre ft of snow that we will no longer use to fill holes... but to build features.
in addition the the work on swifty proper, there is also a brand new stash park located skiers left of the park. this will be accessible through swifty and also kick you back into the park. Swifty - The Cache - Swifty - 2.0 - party...
ZG is indeed dead.. but the trail we have just finished blows it and swifty clear out of the water.
Peacemaker Park will be one hell of a good time.. i wouldn't count on swifty getting all the love. last season was impossible to build in ZG with the shit snow so i pretty much wrote it off. Peacemaker will kick ass and will not be an afterthought.
pony park is also dead.
it will be replace by Maverick park that will be inline with Peacemaker so you will be able to hit both in one lap. like i said, moonlight
as for the other 3 parks.. cowpoke has been widened to make more room for the little guys
explorer should be seeing some changes in the next few weeks to allow for better snowmaking.. 2.0 will be more of the same radness.
If your still debating your pass choice.. just do yourself a favor and #ridebigsky
