This post has two parts
Part One: Powder Ridge is re-opening in Connecticut and needs a color combo for their rails. I have a connection and was asked for my thoughts /claim. Ideas?
Part Two: I want to paint my backyard stuff and wanted ideas for that as well.

Any help on either?

Are they actually gonna have a good terrain park?
I think the black with white would be cool, but i think when coming up to the rail, it might blend in with the snow. Black with a yellow grinding surface.

black and yellow would be dope.

silver structures with black sliding surfaces could be cool if the silver is right

brown and green army styles

clear plexi-glass for sides. So it looks like your grinding on nothing, and its not even dangerous!

planning a reopening takes a long time, especially for a ski area. probably next season, if anything. what I'm wondering is who the hell has the money right now to buy and restore a ski area to operating condition?

Blue and yellow I think would look cool. Like yellow rail with blue board underneath.

I think they should make it an all mtn terrain park, that would be sick and they would make a lot of money.

it would indeed be sick but they wouldn't make nearly as much money as a normal ski area does.

Whatever colors are visible. So dont go for black and white, otherwise it can mix with the snow.

I like Keystone's black. Colors make the park look like a little kid's playground or an amusement park (yes, I might be in denial a little).

I don't get it... If you live in CT and want good terrain park, why not go to Ski Sundown...

No. Because anything that isn't white should be burned... Because white is a cool color, of course.

I'm trying to decide this as well.


Honestly not that worried about it. Will go with whatever's around for this year.

Might do wood skirting for the next season. Not sure how it would look through a whole park. Maybe I can hire that kid to stain and varnish it for me.


This year more concerned with finding as much steel as I can and getting shit built. Also still trying to get a 20+ corrugated and 250 gallon or bigger propane tank from the yards up here.

I think people will be less concerned about the colors and more concerned with what gets put in.

White on Black or Red on Black.

Black being the prominent color.

@ Everyone doubting PR, apparently they're going to really put a lot into their terrain park and give it a shot. If they continue on this mindset they could emerge with one of the primary parks in CT.
