If we got a good group of skiers together to go to the board meetings, they will listen.  They have meetings 2 times a month I think, no skiers ever go.  That's how you will get a better park.

Improvements will include upgrading the snowmaking equipment and chair lifts, as well as constructing of a second Chalet along Grand Avenue.

Other additions planned include new ski runs, a mountain bike park and additional trails to be used in the summer.

A number of these improvements came from public suggestions.

my point exactly

when i went to spirit for jib academy, i was going up the lift and i was thinking "oh my fuck im never leaving here this is so sick" but i changed my mind when I got off the lift and went to hit the trap box and got blown backwards by the arctic wind to the point i wasnt even moving anymore.

so i went inside and ate the delicious fries they make...

oh right, the park..build it on another run for maximum shredability.

I wish they could put their pipe and jumps on the next run over, because it's steeper and they could make so much bigger jumps.

yeah they deffintly need to put jumps on a steeper run, if the winds blowing at all off the lake you cant get enough speed where the jumps are right now, plus you have to ski down 1/3 of the run just to get to the jumps, next run over would defintly be better.
