I’m here at the moment, the jumps are big and real close together, no more Sochi flats, rails are smaller then the render made it look. I’ll try and get some shots if I’m that side of the hill today.

Word, please do. Hopefully it turns out well. Schneestern generally turns out a solid product. I'm hoping for some solid creative options on the skate bowl section. I wanna see weird lines and see it rewarded.
Hows your house treating you btw? I could be wrong but didn't you have the "I bought a house at a penny auction" or something like that troll thread like 10 years ago?
Hahaha yeah that thread was me ;) I sold it all and put it into bitcoin ;)

I thought that bird was a skier for a sec doing a mad tweaked out safety
aussieskierA few more of the rail section and the whale tail
Will the short distance between jumps affect speed? For Xgames it looked like anyone who hit the side jump couldn't build up enough speed for a triple on the last one

theabortionatorthats just a setup jump for mellower tricks
I know that, my bad for linking the wrong pics but I ment the bigger jumps lower down. They seem really close together. Would that affect speed negatively. Do you need a longer run in?

Oh word I gotcha. I thought you were talking about the one right by the rail.
Idk, I guess time will tell.
I would think they'd have a good plan though. I personally think the course last year looked way better than people made it seem, but there was a lot of negative stuff going around. They def don't want the same problems especially on the world stage.
Schneestern is no stranger to building big events though. I don't want to jinx them but I think they got it.
The lips of the jumps went up over the last few days. One guy guinea pigged and speed won’t be a issue. The big thing with speed is the snow stays super consistent here. We had a handful of days over -0c the whole season. I’ll get some photos of the jumps when I’m back up there.
I saw a pic of the rails on IG and I was legit staring at it for 2 good minutes thinking how this render looks incredibly real. The shaper crew created a masterpiece, it just looks perfect!

Chris??
It's Mason.. Howdy!
Also currently at the Phoenix Park.
The park is shaping up nicely now. Rails are massive, it looks straight out of a video game. Pure art really.
Halfpipe is still in the finishing touches of shaping, I know it's olympic standard, but the thing is MASSIVE.
Shameless plug, but follow me on IG for updates from the broadcast side of Olympics!!
I never really played the Shredsauce courses of slope courses but I’ve played the x games and olympics courses so fucking much and it definitely made x more fun to watch.
GrandThingsIts funny how well I know the course already purely due to the ~billion runs I've done on Shredsauce
Funny insta from monsroisland about the course. I'm not sure if the snowboarders are 100% loving it. A couple of insta stories I've seen indicate that it's difficult af

Maybe it's just the pressure of it all. Honestly thought the sochi course wasn't bad but it was non stop bitching. I think this course is tits, so if people aren't digging it I don't think it's the courses fault.
Hell the test event had some of the same features and everyone was down, I think maybe the olympics is just getting to people.
I wonder what the craziest trick we’ll see in the rail section will be, Those jibs look pretty gigantic. We have the potential to see some pretty rad shit go down.
Heat 2 def had some better runs. Curious what lines the skiers through out. Especially getting some time to watch the boarders. Hope some people get some good lines on.
Speed def looked like an issue on jump 1 and 2 although I saw a couple people go pretty deep.
