Yeah guys i agree with you on the subpar superness of the superpark lately... last year i drove up and decided it wasn't worth going broke to ski in it, so i just filmed it.  Please make some super awesome features... I'm debating whether or not to make the drive again so we'll see

not sure about that... but shelby pretty much had free rein over the entire park while he was there. 

after he left for tahoe the GM realized ow much the park was costing him in snow making and cut back a bit.  But actually, this year they stepped it up again with the real big line.  Im gonna be there soon and cant wait to shred it again, might go back for superpark too.

so yeah if the jump line is back to the skiers left is it gona be "super" like it was in the past. what i`m saying is i understnad its in the same place as in the past, but are the jumps going to be bigger than last year? or any word of any larger features bru`in in the minds up there?

Hopefully it will be good, I wouldnt mind to make the trip again

THIS YEAR WILL BE SUPER....

JUMPS are back on CHute and VERN our GM is actually PAYING a park crew this year.

We have new rails like a teetertoter box, two huge rollercoasters and a rainbox,

JUMP will have a 80'plus side and a 60' normal size

AND yes  I am going to try to bring back the hip.

Rails will have some kind of back to back to back rail lilke up-down-flat-down flat, down  all square stock bout 80 foot long, and the shark fin is back and better than ever,

WAll ride hitting great and will be added to BIG AIR as a bonus feature.

WE HAVE SOOO MUCH GOD DAMN SNOW, and the boss man is finally behind us (it helps his kid is finally good enough to ride the stuff)


MAKE THE DRIVE IT"S worth it.

I have more productcommited as of today than ever before... I had oakley, Rossy, vans, protec, and dragon all commit today, just wonder have much more free stuff I will HAVE to collect tomorrow!

If everything you say is going to be setup, I'll most definitely be there filming.  Besides, it's always a good time anyways.

I was out today and the place was a mess. They didnt groom last night. It snowed all day yesterday, turned to rain and froze. everything is set up so ghetto. What's the deal? You only take care of your park for the Super Park? Not sure i believe all the hype. The coaster that is out now is a death trap, so is the DFD. I will however say the Shark Fin is fun as hell, landing could be longer or further away. Teeter box is neat.

Wow, you couldn't be more wrong. Park is set up well, but is not maintained worth a damn, the guy Vern is paying doesn't do SHIT. The rails keep getting more bent because they pull them out with the cat!
The takeoffs for most of the rails suck, the landings for most of the rails, suck (case in point the new DFD set up)

The jumps for the most part were good, now they  have a huge knuckle due to down-hill grooming. The small park is in even worse shape than the big one, though when they re-built it it improved a little.

I watched "park crew" SNAP THE DFD, yes they pulled it apart at the first kink, because they are too lazy to dig the rails out when pulling them, so they hook chains up to the cat, and pull it up, bending and breaking them, there isn't a straight rail in the park. Though the flat down and the "a frame" are close.

You are right in that we have a ton of snow, broke 200 inches this year, lots of good BC lines to hit. Though the recent thaw rain freeze cycle killed that.

And thats all I feel like writing for now..
