Nice to finally see some pictures, should go off tomorrow though, they had speed issues and problems with a super quick tranny yesterday. Excited to see what comes out of this!
 
God dammit, why don't resorts make these sick set ups during the season for the public? Every east coast resort that has a set up for a private shoot makes the dopest shit, and they can clearly set similar stuff up during the season. Let me guess, liability....
 
But they could scale the size down a bit. Plus I think most people know their limits, no little kid is going to go off that kind of feature, and if people get hurt, they should know that it is their fault and they should know their limits. Mount Snow has monster jumps and they don't have any issues.
 
gapers bro. they tend to disregard logic and point fingers when they get hurt. "There were no signs warning me not to...." blah blah bullshit. i feel your pain though.
 
Killington is the absolute worst with that shit too. not a single jump over 35 feet. ever. Their most difficult feature is the r2r DFD, which isn't even that crazy.
this and the Dew tour this year show that they clearly have the ability to build some decent sized features, they just refuse to because of some stupid lawyers and insurance issues.
 
oh no they do, i know that, i'm just saying that it shows they could build bigger features if they wanted to.
 
what pisses me off is that mountains on the east have issues doing this but when you go out west there's crazy features and a little sign that says "cliff" right before a 50 foot cliff drop. no issues there. oh well, next season i'll be on the west coast.
 
Bingo. MOST people... its the few fucktards that are like, "WEE! I DID A MINI PARK JUMP! IT MUST BE EXACTLY THE SAME ON THAT 85 FOOTER!" that fuck it up for everybody else. Just this year my mountain was in a lawsuit with a kid that went of a jump and is now paralyzed or something, and his argument was that there were no signs of warning, and no signs that stated the jump was dangerous.... supposedley he cut into the trail froma different one, avoiding the sign in the beginninng
 
you think thats bad? my resort didnt even have a jump and the biggest thing set up was a rainbow rail that was 4 ft at the top
 
mid-late February is mid season brah.

And I know there is always one dumbass that has to fuck it up, Sugarbush had a ballin jump that I never got to hit because too many kids got hurt on it. Kids are going to get hurt, resorts should realize this and there are plenty of places that say the mountain is not at fault (tickets, website, signs entering the park, etc) so anyone who thinks that it is the mountains fault deserves what they get. It sucks a shit load >:/
 
yeah dude snow park technologies builds all the dew tour courses. That being said i still think they could make their park a lot better than it was this year.
 
So sick, 7 springs had such a nice setup for a forum snowboard shoot which was real nice. I only wish some skiers could have come and hit it.
 
I mean in the way of one of the biggest Resorts in North America. They clearly have the resources to build a park at least equal to a number of the best known parks in the world. They just choose not to.
 
pretty much this..... killy is legit (kinda) for about a month and a half every season.... they just dont spend the money on the park. they could have a park that rivals every mtn in the east and a bunch in the west but they dont want to spend money on it.
 
yeah it was them and esk, i got to hit it, the best two tricks thrown were like a cork 7 and a flat 3, nobody really liked the jump. i prettymuch strattled the takeoff
