Eat your heart out people.. Boyne Mountain in Michigan will be home to the BIGGEST super pipe in the world!! Thats right haters, 700 feet long with 18 foot walls! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

~n~
 
probably not the part where he said 18 foot walls. 22 foot walls doesn't work good though, mammoth had that super duper pipe and it went down the toilet.
 
i heard talk of a uber super duper pipe thats 1500 feet long and has 44 foot walls and a special 60 degree 1000 vertical foot drop-in ramp to get enough speed for it.
 
yeah i have heard that, its too bad, cause i am sure they are dropping a ton of cash for that pipe, and its a shame to see it go down the tubes.
 
sierras at tahoes pipe has 18 ft walls. its about 500 ft long. but heres the thing. it gets groomed everynight and isn't solid ice.
 
ummmmmgood for you you guys got a really long flat pipe with small walls. try a real pipe like snowmass 600 feet long 24 foot walls
 
Boyne has brought in new blood to head up the terrain park management and he's promising things will get better... hopefully he's right. time will tell, though.
 
Wagner, who is in charge of Boyne Highlands park(at least i know he used to be), actually does know how to cut a pipe, he's just never had the resources to make a good one. Hopefully he's still with boyne, and they have him cut it often, it could be a good thing for Michigan.
 
they've had a dragon for the past couple years that they shared between highlands and mountain. the pipe was still cut about 3-4 times the entire season...hope the the best tho...
 
18 foot walls!

Sorry, but plenty of pipes out west have walls higher than 18 feet.

Still stoked for you though, that's a great thing if you live out there.
 
yep Jason Wagner and Mike Crawford are going to be doing the parks at boyne. wagner has been there from some time. Both are SAMS so they know there shit
 
yeah fuck that, the west has tons of superpipes all way better than boyne's could ever dream of being... anyways the only thing i can think of that the midwest has and the west doesn't, would be the 80 foot s-rail at Cascade. nothin too special though, the west is wayyy better
 
But its still the longest.. So I'm happy, and it will be way less busy than ANY pipe outwest. Mid week at boyne theres only like 30 people there, all geezers which means SUPER PIPE TO MYSELF.

~n~
 
i don't think boyne has 700 feet. i mean i know the place well and i don't see anywhere that they have 700 feet unless they are making it all the way down the lift on the flat.
 
unless they have some crazy huge ditch dug, sounds like it might be a waste of snowmaking that could have been used for jumps
 
Wagner's still there, but he's got a new boss who's making shit happen so Jason can get the resources he needs to make some good stuff happen there. they need to make a good park this season, because the only good park in the midwest is in Marquette in the UP and most kids downstate can't make a 6+ hour drive to Marquette Mountain very often. oh, and Marquette doesn't have a pipe. the pipe at Nub's was fun to ride, but icy as hell by the afternoon and a bit too steep, and the rest of their park was a fucking joke. best of luck to Wagner and crew.
 
breck also got the 22ft zaugg as well. and c'mon everybody you know breck's pipe is already amazing. so now its just going to be insane.
