Cannon Mtn. Park Update

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 40' hip jumps. It was suggested by a person in the park one day, I tweaked it a little, got outta control, and voila Monster Kite. People are psyched, I've seen a couple of people 10' above the deck. Bet they'll go higher though.

Here's the rundown on the park right now.

1 - 10' straight table

1 - 10' beginner step down - 20' landing

1 - 15' step down, steep 30' landing

1 - 25' step down, steep 40' landing

1 - table, two hits, 20' + 15', 30' landing

1 - monster kite (2 40' hip jumps)

1 - 10' table, 20' landing

1 - table, two hits 20' + 30', steep 30' landing

1 - 24' straight rail on a small table

1 - picnic table

1 - 300'+ halfpipe, 12' walls, fresh cut today

Also at the mountain, a pro size step down 20' + 30' to the lip and a steep, 50'+ landing. (bottom of Zoomer Trail)

I groom every hit and landing nightly, Fri-Tues.

I get just as bored with the same stuff all the time as anyone, so some of the stuff will be changing regularly. That said, let me know what you want to see and I'll see if I can work it in! Thank you for the feedback so far - keep it up! If you come jam with us, let the mountain know. We'll be pumping them for more stuff all winter and if they know you like it or want it, we've got a better chance of getting it for you. (Hint: tell 'em more rails, bigger and better cut pipe, open sooner, etc.) We've got 'Super' dreams for next year...

Don't forget the freeride terrain - Tramline is open with huge boulder drops and serious steeps., complete with audience. Lot's of other stuff but I'd get lynched if I told you where it was.

Thanks,

Dropping in!

Make them bigger!!!

way too many hits 10-20 feet long. one or 2 in this range is good. lots of hits around 30-40 feet and a few between 45-60 would be rad.

you should make a reely good 25-30 foot table with no step down, all the reeely good hits are step downs besides the hips you should make one good one that isnt. More rails

P.s. Thanks for the updates

 
'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 second of the two tables, (two hits 20' + 30'), will boost to 30' + 40' on Friday.

Stept, also the second hit, (2 option table), has been boosted to 20' to the lip and may see 30' by Sat.

'More rails'

I know!!! Tell the mountain! I tell them all the time. It's important that they hear it from the customers. That's where the force of cash is. If you've already put in a few comments, have your friends put some in.

Thanks,

Hope to see you on the hill!

I had to kife some snow from the beginner trail next door (they weren't using it) but I got enough to boost the size! Check it out!
