Jan. 7 (this sunday) Rail Jam

The slopestyle event isn't happening because this winter sucks. We're expanding and rebuilding the jib-park tommorow for this weekend's rail jam. From top to bottom there will be three different decks. Up top will have the new single barrel rail and the skinny box both set up as down. Next there will be a choice of the c-box or the kink. On the last deck there will be the battleship box, the flat box, and a jump. More snow will be added to the last deck to make the battleship and the flat box lips very skier friendly (anyone who's been up lately knows what i'm talking about). All of this is dependent on the weather. More updates tommorow.

Shitty, Shitty, Shit news. Alright, Fuck this winter. I just got back from the mountain and the snow is super grainy and the night crew didn't blow snow. We tried setting up the new rail and it wouldn't stay. The snow is exactly like sand right now. It's supposed to rain for a few days so the rebuild is probably not happening. Also, the manager of the mountain just got back from his vacation and says we have to take down the jump because it's hazardous. FUCK, this sucks. I'm sorry for amping you guys up. This blows. On the bright side we did get a single barrel rail and it will be up eventually. Fuck this winter.

------- CANCELLED -------------
It won't stop raining. The battleship fell over and the kink + down box lips are gone. Flat box and C-box still open. Flat box has shitty lip onto it.

You can count on the boxes being set up (poorly, as usual) and mabye even the rail. Jumps...well I have no idea but it does not look good.

Knowing how Belleayre works you can expect icy steeps, and decently groomed trails.
