Okemo got a new wall ride, its probably about 20 feet wide and atleast 20 tall, its the same red one from about 5 years ago. But they put a box on the top, like the one last year

okemo is so fuckin gay, they have no idea how to build anything, as far as i could tell the top sheet was wood, which as everyone know isnt right if you want a good wallride, and if its anything like last years it will be pretty bad

actually, the red one from 5 years ago is plastic and its been on the ground behind the shed for the past 4 years. its not wood like last years, and its much bigger. if they put a box on top of it it will be much better than last years wall

E-mail from John Conway (mountain opps guy)

Yes we will have rails out on World Cup early season. I would hope that we could do something for the first week that we are open. The one thing that may limit us is the width of the trail. We have to make sure that the other skiers and riders have enough room to safely make it around the feature if they choose not to ride it.

We will be working on some new jib features through out the season. I think that we are going to start with some smaller size rails. We need to give the grommets something to ride. That way the are not gaping in the other parks. After that we will be working on some bigger jibs.

the park should be fun and its not the wall ride as last year you can quote me on that, but they are designing the park in advance for the east coast open so it should have a good initial setup

Okemo sorta knows what they are doing. This year they are welding in a permanent wall to the bottom of the noreaster terrain park. lets see how that works out for them.
