big ben has been the same all season... and i just found out tomorrow is the last day for the sun bowl, which means the last day for a somewhat decent park at stratton this season... hopefully they put more stuff on suntanner.

So now there is one jump on the mountain? Big Ben is in PRIME condition right now, it's really too bad they closed it for the season. So now we have the pipe, one jump, and a decent amount of rails between Suntanner and Tyroliene?

welcome to an intrawest resort... I would love to see them push all the snow above the halfpipe for that stupid banked slalom into a jump and then along side the halfpipe put another jump and more rails and then more rails below the current ones on suntanner. get rid of that stupid pointless terribly setup pole jib. And they should just put Byrnside back to a park as well. I use to love the first jump on that trail

Got my under 30 pass! Price didn't change after the "buy early sale," we just fell victim to their dumb marketing.

Any word on a Memorial Day rail jam? I remember Stratton usually charging an entrance fee, do they still do that? That's retarded.

Nevermind, just found it on their website. It's May 26th (the day after Mt. Snow's Peace Pipes), and it's $20. I will probably go to Mt Snow's since it's free and skip Stratton.

I didn't notice until this year how few natural drops and jibs there are in the woods at Stratton. If someone were to make a couple log rides, stump jibs, etc., would Ski Patrol take them down immediately? I really want to take a few summer days and make some fun jibs, but I don't want it to be a waste of time if they're all going to be removed. Anyone have any idea what the outcome would be? Anyone want to help?

depends where they are. if you build them somewhere that'll be hard to find they won't care. i.e. skier's right in test pilot or skiers left world cup woods. also as long as no one will get hurt on them (i.e. in the middle of a track, hard to see, etc.) they won't care. if you go up in the summer into the woods you might just see trail crew cutting some new glades even! the trail crew guys are all pretty chill.

That's the answer I was looking for! I was thinking more along the lines of Cabin Fever because it is more accessible from the road, so hauling heavy wooden structures up in the summer will be a little easier.

In Colorado, they have a rule that if the feature contains nails, then it becomes an unauthorized "structure" and ski patarol is obligated to tear it down. Anybody know of a similar rule here, or will anyting fly as long as it's out of the way?

haha don't hold me to my word though. i can't speak for the higher ups i.e. if a vice president sees it and asks us to take it down we are obligated to follow his orders. just make sure they're out of the way and can't get hurt on and it shouldn't matter.
