curious if anyone can give me a park update for Vail.. heading there friday after missing most of the season with an ankle sprain. hoping for a few decent days....
 
well ive been working lifts for a couple days so i havent been in the park lately, but as of a few days ago they had torn down the whole main jump line...
all the rails and shit are still up though, and the mini jump line
 
The jump line was never torn down. They have done some work to the lips it seems but they have never been torn down.
 
3 big-ish jumps (step down, step up kinda, table), lots of flat bars, some big rail features, fd box, lots of beginner boxes, tiny jump line, a really long urban rail with a weird (but fun) takeoff, urban dfd, log jibs.
hope that helps
 
yea man they made new wedges for the tables, one of 'em is a step-up i guess... if 40-50 degrees again tomorrow i'll prob. just be lapping that, or building a booter somewhere. i got the next 2 days off
 
The speed is much better on the big line now. Two step downs to a step up. Just about every 10 year old kid I saw was d-spinning the first hit. Super pipe was nice. Mini Pipe had a big hole in the rightside wall. Rails are nice, and they have a log canon. It's grippy right at the end so olly off a little early or you'll get pummled. There is a horizontal log bonk at the bottom and verticle log tail tap. They also put in some sketchy log rails, battleship and rainbow. Beginner rails are pretty fun. They have a semi spine skinny box that is great for lipping on. Every time I slide that thing my skis stick like glue when I get back on the snow. Worse than the white fun boxes for some reason. Their is a super smooth flat down box higher up too. Sick wall ride just below the quarter. I think the crew is doing a great job of maintaining the park considering how fricking warm it's been up there.
 
awesome - thanks guys. i was there last year around this time and it was a little disappointing. but it sounds like it's pretty fun.

cheers.
 
went up yesterday.....6 fresh, but it was total dust on crust in the back. frontside wasn't bad at all. definately need a lot more snow though.
 
yeah whenever ive been at vail the bowls have been crusty but i have heard unless its a pow day they usually are correct me if im wrong i probably am. and the weather says it should snow every day i am there i will update too on the park and snow when i get there
 
gnar day today, they called 8" fresh but it was more like 12-15" if you know where to go... dropped some big hits, hiked some good stuff. great day. they say more snow is coming tonight.
 
Dang!! Seriously? About 12-15" in Vail. About time we got some freakin' snow. Riding on ice for the last month starts to blow.
