i personally wouldn't trust the sr park crew to build something this big, but i guess they hired some other professional jump designer.

The cat is out of the bag, the rumors are true, it is going down…
Simon Dumont is taking a 2nd crack at the world quarterpipe record this
weekend at Sunday River.
After injuring his shoulder this
January in his first world-record attempt at King of Quarters at Aspen
Mountian, The Dumont is seeking retribution and the world record,
currently held by Terje Haakonsen. As it currently stands, Simon will
need 33 feet (off the top of the quarter) to shatter the record.
Many
Sunday River locals have been speculating what exactly the massive
piles of snow being blown on Aurora Peak were for. Their questions were
answered this week when legendary jump maker, Frank Wells showed up to
shape the massive pile of snow into what will become the stage for a
world record attempt. As it stands, the quarterpipe is 90 feet wide and
30 feet high with a gigantic 46 foot tower containing carefully
calibrated camera technology which will be used to measure precisely
how big Simon goes.
Stay tuned to Freeskier.com this week
for more news and to find out if Simon does in fact break this record
and mark his name in the history books.

dude first of all i think the sr park crew rocks. secondly yah they hired snowpark technologies, The best out there, not just "some other professional jump designer."

dude your from colorado. i've been skiing sr for 11 years. they are nice guys, but their jumps aren't too great. the landings are short and they took down the big air jump (their one good jump) to build two half ass jumps. when compared to loon jumps or sugarloaf jumps, they suck. snowpark technologies are just professional jump designers.

dude im from maine, ive been skiing sr for 15 yrs. i just got back from heat harvest, which didnt suck. the park crew doesnt build the jumps, the groomers do. yes the loaf and loon had better jumps this year, but dont hate...appreciate.

maybe thats why there jumps sucked. they need to train some one in the park crew to use a groomer.
