Boston Jib Park

Sorry I already posted this in Regionals but I thought it was worth posting in Ski Gabber too.

Alright me and Adrian have been thinking about this for a long time, and I think it is time that we try and actually get this done.

I know Portland, ME and Denver have done it, so why not Boston? Basically a skate park for skiers/boarders, that would have like 6 jibs. Maybe a flat rail, flat box, flat down box, rainbow rail... stuff like that. I bet that some mountains up north would be more than happy to send down some jibs for it if their mountain was promoted somehow. I bet a ton of companies would be down for this too, I wanna talk to Ski Market Underground and I know that this guy from Freeskier wanted to help out too.

But I know that if we really want to get this done, we'll need all your help. So I'm going to make a cult and anyone that wants in just post here and I'll send you an invite. You don't have to live in Boston to join, just if you think you can help at all.

that would be dope. i'm down.

maybe it should be permanently set up with turf. in the winter when its snows its bitchin. in the summer summer its BYOS.

isn't there an outdoor rink in boston somewhere (not the frogpond)? like near the jamiacaway?

even though this was my original idea and i fully support trying to make it happen I have to agree... I'd be suprised if this actually happens because of boston's inability to get anything done.

1 mil dollar skatepark plan for under the bridge? Where did that go? i had many friends highly involved in that and i know they had collected something like $600,000

i think the best plan would to try and convert a local hill into a jib park for the witner with a small toe rope even

I know that Lars Anderson Park in brookline used to have a T bar like 30 years ago, its definatly big enough for a full line of jibs and a jump or 2

You could always buy a big warehouse insulate the shit out of it buy like ten industrial snow guns and blast alot of snow. I bet you could make it all year round if you insulatated it well
it would just be a big cooler with rails

a t bar would be too much money, space and liability even. you can get gas powered rope tows, that kill gas, but they work really well and are super easy. a rope tow and some jibs wouldnt be hard, just getting enough snow in boston to sesh would be the problem

Great idea! It's something we should all support, even if we live to far away to ever enjoy it.   Any one got pictures from the parks in Denver or Portland?

My friend is working on that project. They are just still raising money. It takes a while to raise 1 million $$, but it is by no means gone. Its just going to take some time. So everyone should get the rents to donate to that shit if you live near boston.

that sounds like a pretty good idea, boston is the perfect place to put one too since its pretty much right in the middle of the ec
