They had one decent size table up and a couple boxes, but the t-bar kept breaking down. Overall, it was pretty good for being the first day open, plus it was FREE.

 
tea they had a table but i wonder once we get snow what the run is gonna be

This thread is outdated, but in case anyone is still wondering, Ripley now has a 50 ft hip table to a 40 ft slight step down to a 35 ft table to a 30 ft table. On the chair side of the hill there will soon be a 40 ft table to 50 ft table to 60 ft table to flat-down slider on a table to a rail on a table. I wish Pete came on NS, it would help.

Wouldnt it be funny if Ripley was spelled Rip Lee?

You know what's better than that? We used to go off-piste by the chair into the trees at Ripley to smoke herbs and then ski the powder below it...well this year it's an actual run and they named it 'Buddah Bowl'

I don't think pete's really even into rails anymore. He just likes really big tables. The S-rail is fucked cause someone hit it with a groomer so I've been trying to get him to make a double-barrel rollercoaster, so talk to him, maybe he'll let you tackle that. I had the cam out filming last night and I was going to take pics but if I post them on here everyone will come and crowd the place so I'll just let everyone think it sucks!

We built a pretty sick jump into the bowl and filmed it yesterday, Alex killed it with stylie 3 tails and some big 7's and we spent the rest of the night building a big step up by the chair which we'll be filming around 6 today. Show up, you won't.

Sweetspot was measured out at 70' to the small side of the landing. Most of us are going at least 10' down from there. Zero? what?. YO KEENAN - I got some pics, and I'll post them tonight...maybe. We got lots of good video so far this season and I hope to double it by spring. Get your ass up here and pump out some clips!

zero sweet spot? youre crazzy. i was going to come up this weekend but then i was shit on by school. shitty.

 
ryan, i heard about the zeros and switch 180s both directions...rediculous.

i cant wait to ski next weekend

yeah, jumps/conditions were gnar and people were going off...pete wanted to get 9's back so he did like 15 in a row. Alex turned 15 and backflipped it and learned 540 japans. I've been working on stuff...I'll just say that. I took pics of the whole park but the pc's at school won't let you install usb drivers without administrative privleges so it'll be a few more days...sorry.

That's a pic taken from the landing of 'sweetspot' (75 ft. gap), 5 tables in a row, first like 45, to a 35 to a 30 to a 20 to a 15. There's a rail on a table and a up-gap-flat 9' slider there too if you look close, plus the kiddie-section.

You ain't up on the Ripley scene, son. Those jumps have been open since Friday. We had a nice sunny saturday sesh and broke them in. The first one is a 50' step down and the second has to be at least 70', it's sick.

I think I have some stuff of you Keenan on my tapes from last year with the old camera. The dude that died was the Mad Bomber and yes, he was mentally handicapped. He was bombing and swerved to miss a pole tower and went out of control and ran into some trees at full speed. It's too bad...

If it's sunny we should build a booter at the old-people bluffs. The one last year was built so well you almost got too much air.

snow skate park is going up for the feb26 comp so all the rails will be super low.

If anyone wants to be in the video just give me your footage...if it's good it's in. I'm giving myself a deadline of May 5th so I don't get lazy. If you have enough clips you can choose a song even. The title isn't totally for sure but I'm probably going with 'Daze of the Seize'n'.
