There are a handful of rails waiting for us up on Stinger at the wide area. We will be up there early tomorrow morning putting them in. Unfortunately, I can't even say what will be up because it depends on several different things (snow and time being the biggest). We have a basic plan, but not really a structured layout. Really all I can tell you is that there's 2 corrugated pipes, the skinny rail, the cannon, the flat-up, and I believe the double barrel (can't remember the last rail) up there waiting for us early tomorrow morning, not saying all of those will be up, but some combination of them will be. Remember, everything needs to be put in and taken out every night we make snow (which will probably be every night for a while), and since we don't have access to a cat right now, everything needs to be small enough to move by hand.

Just in that wide area around tower 5. We'll build from the top after this first big burst of snowmaking, won't be long.

FYI, Jarrod and I met with The Studio Clothing guys yesterday. They are super pumped on their rail jam on the 5th. They checked out our rail garden and they're dreaming up their requested setup now. Should have more details in a few days. Gonna be an awesome event, I can't wait for it.

Even the small one. It's only about 2 feet smaller than the big one. Our boxes are pretty heavy.

Replaced the pole jam with the close-out this morning, also added the 32 as a flat rail.

Also, Tom's Treat will be open today, but there will be NO park on it today.

park was really good today and besides falling EVERY TIME (12 and i counted) on the close out. my only suggestion would be to fix up the landing for the cannon at the bottom. landing was pretty sketchy

Yeah...it took me out a couple times too...I learned you have to spin into the close out, not away from it (so if you slide right foot forward, blind spins don't work well). The snow on the landing of the cannon was extra goopy this morning so it didn't till out very well, hopefully better tomorrow.

Try not to look at the close out, think of it as just a flat bar, then just hop at the end.
