Rode up the lift with a patrol today, and was talking to him about everything.
Basically, they need a week of -4 of optimum snow making conditions.
Then they will be able to fill everything up.
After they, they have to focus on building the pipe, the new pipe is the same size for 2014 Sochi Olympics. This means it has been dug out, 26' walls, wider and longer. So a lot of work is going to have to go into that.
All of team Canada (including half pipe) will be training at COP this winter, so we'll have some good stuff to watch in the pipe from the chairlift this winter.
This weekend, they plan on filling in the top part of the park, and setting up a few jibs and hits. This will give the skiers and riders an upper park to play around in.
We need to be patient, it'll be well worth it.
