they had 10 15 foot spine setup and nicely built but its a huge block of ice. A flat 10' tube rail thing brand new.

I was also there! Blue pants, grey hoodie, black POC.

Setup is good. The spine is pretty fun but icy as said above.
The down metal tube thing is fun but got really sticky by the end of the day. A couple guys setup a pvc which was fun and there are also two boxes setup flat down style with a shitty landing.

Great day on the slopes but busy as tits.

I think they had meech open pretty early in the season last year, like before clifford. As long as theres something better that flat as a pankake pineau, i'm happy.

i was there too, purple/red/black armada jacket and white pants.

yeah the spine would have been alot nicer if it wasn't rock hard, and the boxes had a huge hole for a landing by the end of the day. but still, it's pretty decent for the second weekend.

I was there today for 2 hours... I'm going to probably rip on the park here but...
-pipeline thing at the top way to short. Did a 270 on and it was just like tapping the end.
-Battleship is not very skier friendly and to short.
-Rollers or jump? not to sure
-The jump itself not that bad.
-Spine fun, but icy
-should have kept the flat down instead of making 2 flat boxes, but still not bad but 2 flat boxes right beside eachother.

Even though I'm hating I did have a lot of fun.

park = shit

Kids have been hitting all the boxes without skis, creating a giant crater in each landing. Somebody needs to dole out a tongue lashing... I know I did

The jumps aren't too bad, but holes were developing on the knuckles and all the lips were being rolled over and some were uneven.

Go to Edel or Cascade

I was there today. I only took one lap through the park though. Jump are extremely small...That's all I have to say. I didn't hit any rail but they looked pretty fun.

There was a couple fucking the the main lodge bathroom, yesterday. I walk in and the lights are turned off... how odd. I turn them back on. This is followed by a "shhhh... sh". I look to the first handicapped stall right as you walk in and I see a pair of ugg boots point 45* away from the shitter and another pair of shoes pointing the opposite way about 6" apart. I laugh extremely hard, take my piss and leave. That is all.

yes. i was there on friday and 3 bus loads of grade 3 to 6 kids were there and it was incredibly painful. i was about to kill a little girl who fell on the takeoff, then dragged herself over the top and took about 2 minutes to reorganize while standing at the top of the landing, all while about 10 people where waiting to drop. she then got up and snowplowed all the way too the next jump, which is when i said fuck it and just skipped the jumps. They either need to have a park pass or hide the park.

I think fortune's setup is awesome. It's free, and the jumps are pretty small but hit-able enough for gapern00bz to be like "Let's go to fortune it's SICK!!!ONE!" thus keeping most of them away from edel and cascades.
