[JollyJ]

Each Mountain should be receiving 1 skier and 1 snowboard invite at any time now. Doesn't hurt to send in your info!

 

[jjjibs]

[JollyJ]

Our good friends at Subaru! Hoping this event goes off without a hitch and hopefully we can build an even stonger relationship for next season. Look out!

 

[jjjibs]

hey J,

what jibs will be in the slopestyle line?

 

[Fitz.]

what is the prizes for 2nd and 3rd place?

 

[White-Goblin]

what skill level u expecting.. like as good as purple suit guy (think his names steph but not sure on that one) and his crew or better

 

[JollyJ]

Choice...Down Flat Down or Double Barrel Rail...Very urban setup for both. We're putting a wide flat box on the middle jump...and then the last jump.

I'll find out what 2nd and 3rd place prizes are and get back to you but they are product NOT cash.

Here is the Snowboard Video from the Comp put together by Terry Oakes. Look for the skier video to be out shortly.

Terrain Park is still setup the same as the comp, plus another rail line next to the Comp line. We're also still 100% open boundary to boundary. 5 days a week. We need another 5 cms of snow to hit 15 feet on the season.

Thanks for all the positive comments on our park and the comp.
