I sent you a pm...  basically if you can find a better park on the entire east coast then please prove it!  It will be worth it comparitively to going somewhere else

papasteeze is right tho, BB is better than almost any park on the east right now, he's just trying to spread the word on what is easily the best park in the area, so why the hate?

Hate?  It's NEWSCHOOLERS!!    LOL!   not everyone reads every thread all the time...  There are a lot of people who have been waiting for thier home parks to open for way too long. 

Plus, it really helps corwd control for small gangs to ride together, so that they can all drop together.  The big park is coming!

like your ego? i've been to okemo plenty of times, and their park is sick, but boulder's jumps right now are on par with the stuff i hit at okemo last year, easily, and they've got longer landings too.

little birdy whispered next week this evening.  they were looking for 15' base before the build.

There is a Mountain Dew race on saturday and that trail is where the timer set up is.

A 15 foot base on the whole trail in PA? there is no way that will happen by next week and what do they need all that snow for? I mean the best way to build an awesome park is to farm it before you build it, but 15 feet is way to excessive. I dont even think its possible to blow that amount of snow without spending a rediculas amount of money. What depth are they at now and what the hell are they trying to build with that amount of snow?

yea i am bitter that bc cant open but that has nothing to do with my previous post. i just want to hit some big jumps and boulder will have them 1st and im pretty sure that they are not going to wait to get a 15 foot base before they build them. thats all

uhhhhhh...   trust me, not that it matters now. but if it turns cold it will likely happen.  The intent is a large channel gap.  As it gets later in the season, it becomes less and less likely that they will devote that much snow.

I can tell you this.  a 15 foot base is/was planned 2 weeks ago.

the reason why they just drop you off is because the slope in the big park is too steep so then its basically like skiing a steep slope and then gradually becoming flatter and flatter and then the jump kicks only kicks you up a little bit i cant really explain it, if you drive into the parking lot and look at the jumps in the big park from the parking lot youll know what i mean
