I think they charged $5 two years ago but last season it was free. It is hike only. Most stuff is on the lower part of the hiil. Still too many variables and unknowns to guess what they will do but the setup last year was awesome. They knocked the whole pipe down to form a big hip and a line of 3 or 4 small jumps. They had a bunch of rails and different stuff all moved to the bottom of the hill and a good sized jump higher up. They also left everything for weeks after the actual event and stuff was still good for a while
