It sucks so bad. I was up there when the park crew was setting it up and since its the only place my parents will bring me, I was trying to motivate them a stuff, but they don't give a shit even more than usually. There are 2 small jumps 10-20, a spine/hip and the last jump was like 35 last time I went. There's a rainbow box, a battleship rail and a stepdown rail laying on the ground, all of which such. I wish I could ski somewhere else. Don't go its not worth it.

The park at bromley has gone to shit. Like 5 years ago it was really good, they had a small pipe and the last hit was like 45-50 feet, but now they are such cheapasses that they dont even build a pipe and have a bunch of shitty shitty jumps and crappy rails. Send emails to them for sucking so badly. When i go there, i barely ever ski the park becuase it isn't even worth it. I just ski the mountain which isn't exactly much either. I bombed down 3/4 of the mountain without stopping the other day.

Seriously it has so much potential with all the rails it has and the jumps aren't that bad. It super sick it the park was decent cause it is so lappable. I want to do something to make a difference, but I don't know how to go about it. Maybe a petition?

Sorry about the double post, but I was just thinking about it. Maybe we should get as many people as possible to send them harassing e-mails. I usually send them stuff, but after a while they just ignore me. They can't ignore the masses. I know a guy who volunteered to build boxes for them no charge and they wouldn't pay for the supplies. You think a small mountain, especially in southern vt with intense competition from mount snow, stratton and okemo would value a decent park. Willard and Jiminy have far less resources and put out much better parks. Rant over

I don't think they are going broke, they barely ever make anything new so they don't spend too much on stuff like that, and on weekends there is always a good amount of people there. I think they just don't even try on the park anymore because of the likes of stratton and mt snow and such. I've been skiing at bromley for the past 10 years, and the park has been getting worse every year for the past 6 of them.

they are very, very far from broke. The reason I'm so strapped to bromley is my parents work at bromley on the weekends. Over christmas break they were doing 10 grand a day just in rentals.

I'm not hating its the only mountain I ride at. The trails are great, but they need to step it up in the park area. It january and there's three jumps and three wack rails.

the upper mountain is so dope there. Like stargazer, little dipper and havoc. You cant beat that. I ski at stratton only because of the park, the actual runs at bromley are so much more fun.

And if you want something done about the park dr. jib go talk to Bill Carens. His office is like right above the locker rooms

Bromley is not raking in the cash, but nor are they losing it. If anything they break even every year, I think could make a solid effort at a decent park.

the reasonfor no pipe is because their pipe cutter broke and its so old that they dont make any parts to replace them anymore
and honestly the pipe was never even worth it because they rarely ever carved it and when they did they did a bad job and even if they managed to do a good job one wall was always 3 feet taller than the other and sheer ice while the shorter wall was all slush
this year i think the last jump has been really smooth and good for anything up to 5
its pretty much all i hit cause though i love the place the rest of their park sucks
if you want a good run hit runaround its fun for going switch, buttering, etc.

i love that mountain, but it bums me out that they're not putting effort into their park. i think a lot of kids would prefer to ride there instead of defecting to Stratton or Mount Snow if the park at Brom was decent.

maybe they will learn.

Yea i remember when they used to have comps in the park a few years back. I remember seeing some kid throw a cork 900 with no polls on skis way back in the day, and i thought it was the sickest thing ever. Do they still have that blue j rail comp?

Yah I don't really care about a pipe, I suck at it. But I think they should have two jump lines on the right 3 in a row. One mellow line and one big one. Then they should take out all those damn speakers in the middle and have two rail lines. They need to get some more boxes for learning tricks and not a gay rainbow one.

their rails are terrible. i think blue j rails are probably the worst park rails ever made. they have good jumps but theyre all small. last year the last jump was good but you had to bomb the whole park to clear it. the only upside to Bromley's park is that it has its own t bar. it definitely was much better in the past.

not the greatest, but money is definitly not an issue-it is a year round resort-devil carts in summer and skiing in the winter.
