Conditions are great and the park build up is complete. I think we are at about 20 features, and the boys are working their asses off to keep everything maintained.

they took that out. good thing too, it was much too close to the bottom of the booter. if someone effed up on the landing they could easily have plowed into it. unless they put it back in somewhere after this last Tuesday
 
here are a few pictures of some of the jibs. lighting was super flat so It's kinda hard to make out any snow features. next time I'm up if the lighting isn't so bad I'll get pictures of the rest. skiing is E.C.

finally made it up tonight, park was looking sick. I really liked the jumps.

Finally saw a fellow ns'er there, Liam. Recognized me then saw me embarrisingly eat shit on the dfd lol
 
I'll be up today for a bit in the evening. Orange pants, riding this years Alpha 1's. I'll be doing mostly jumps but I'm down to do laps with others so say hey if you see me, name's Rob
 
nice to see some people putting down some nice tricks this evening. props to whoever did that banger octo 5 on the big jump.

Just measured the jumps for shits and giggles and here's what they are from lip to knuckle from top to bottom: 18', 25', 28', 31', and 37'
 
Sounds legit... Hopefully I can make it up there soon. Was gonna go last week but things didn't work out... Any changes in the park since the pictures were posted, or are things still pretty similar?
 
yea i was up last night and all the jumps are looking just as good as they did before in my opinion. The park was actually great, i dont think i hit ice once. Probably do the fact that it was almost empty all night but still i wasnt expecting much after that fucking thaw.
 
if anyone ever sees me there, Black coat blue pants and armada skis. i got some ns advertising on my helmet too, hit me up

 
i'll be there tuesday and thursday night, white pants, purple/red/black armada coat, definetly down for some laps
 
best day this year. not for the park, but for some reason the day patrol closed Strief and all the runs on far skiers left. from 1-6 all I skied was pow. not too shabby for March at Edelweiss
 
fuucckkkkk why didnt i go up! i thought it would all be skied out by afternoon so i didn bother

NNNNNNOOO
 
Was up last night... Park is set up nicely but underneath this new powder base sits some nice hardpack ice. The last jump has a really hard inrun, but the plus side is you can keep speed.
 
dunno if it's true, but I heard a rumour night skiing will be done soon as the Ontario March break finishes and day skiing will be finished April 2nd. So come out while you can!

but the park guy said they'll be keeping some jibs open and a jump for as long as hey have enough snow. so probably till June
 
Hmm so is there still a good base? There's a lot of rain in the next few days, but do you think it would still be worth it to go on Saturday or Sunday? I wanna make it out atleast once before the end of my season haha.
 
^ no, they still have a ton of base in some spots. take the big jump, that's over a mini little gully thing. there's a solid 30-40 feet of snow from the top of that jump to ground.

the park guy said they'll keep pushing the snow together into one strip with a few jibs and such and they'll have something right to end of may possibly june. but there's a ton of base right now still
