Rail Garden this Weekend!
Friday, Saturday & Sunday, April 8-9-10
We've Finally Done It!
With all this late season snow but not a lot of time we have decided to assemble a rail garden that should suit all skiers and riders of all ability levels.
Our new "double take" street style rail set up includes a more difficult, taller down rail and a lower rail set up with a flat approach as well. Taking it to the streets? Well we'll help you get a jump on next winter. Both rails are 20' long.

Next on our list is the perenial favorite, the rainbow rail. Missing for part of the season but reappearing with our recent re-re-re-reopening, the rainbow takes its place center stage under the brooks chair just below the pipe.
Also in place is the C box, set up with the bend curving in and to the right. Goofy footers complained too much so we made it better for them. Regular footers rule the roost anyhow.
We have the assorted little rails including flat-down-flat and the little A-frame as well. We also reconfigured the feelgood hit of the winter, the flat to down fat rail in the bottom of the park.
We'll keep working tomorrow to see what else we can add. We're shooting to add the flat down flat rail reversed to create a declined kink, as well as a gap to down rail for the skiers who keep asking for one.
Thanks to all the guests responding to our park survey. Our new priority list for 2006 is BOXES, WALLRIDE and QUARTERPIPE in our park, plus more STREETSTYLE RAILS.
Check us out this weekend because we will have some jibs for you metalsmiths...
