The park's allright.  I was there last weekend and we had really bad snow conditions so there weren't any jumps and just a couple rails and boxes.  Hopefully they have made enough snow this week that things will be looking better by saturday.

When the park is finished, there are three jumps, a halfpipe, and other jib features.  I don't know if they will have everything they usually do though

Tell your family they are crazy for going to sundown. chestnut is a 20-30 minute drive from Dubuque.  We are constantly changing and redoing all of our features.  The large jump in the park is now about 35 feet.

Sundowns park is currently a piece of shit. 2 jump line with 1 15 footer with an icy not steep enough landing and dont even bother hitting the second one. block of ice qp, a couple pieces of drain tile which dont really work that well for skiers anyway. then a whole bunch of sketchy rails with shitty snowboard trampled down take offs. Overall a huge disappointment. times better served going to chestnut, its worth the money.
