Thinking about heading up tomorrow afternoon/evening and was wondering who had the best park right now between Grouse and Seymour?  And by best I mean like biggest jumps, gnarliest rails...set up well, that sort of thing.

Thanks!

There are no gnar jibs at all set up on seymour, though they do have one decently large jump (as north shore jumps go). Last I saw, Grouse had a lot of soft metal. Haven't seen anything involving jumps from up there in recent edits.

Grouse has no good jumps, some decent rails. There is an Oakley night jam contest tomorrow night in their rookie park.  hopefully there is a decent skier turn-out.

Is the "S" rail up?  How big's the jump?

As for Grouse, what's the sweetest feature... and does this Oakley thing cut off access to the goods or can you work around it?

Oh, and do any of the parks have a good sound system?  I can't ski unless Alicia Keys' new song is bumpin'...

just rode seymour tonight, they have 2 street style down rails, a L stepdown and a right beside it is a bit bigger of a stepdown that i think is XL, they have an M kicker and an L kicker, then at the bottom they have a barrel jib (side barrel style, not top jib style) a 30ft(i think) box that is slightly up and then right beside it is another L kicker.

As of this point now however don't expect anything better than that(more features but for sure not better for a while at least) since Keetley, the park manager just got fired for breaking the stair feature.

ya apparently keetley was too lazy and rather than trying to dig it out he just tried to drag it out with the cat and it broke.. so now seymour has no stairset or park manager

why do people do that shit, it never works to just pull shit out of the ground. Darren is going to be pissed his creation is dead already.

I heard Keetely got fired cause he was an ass and never got anything done

it probably was that for the most part, but the breaking the stairset was the kill

seymour put in a dfd at the bottom of the young gun park and are i the process of setting up another dfd and a dope up flat rail. Step downs up top are unique and a sick idea but don't have enough speed for fun tricks. Upper park is still short and ghetto, anyone know why they have had the sickest rails just sitting untouched on the side of the park for the past month?
