yeah they'll have a park at pico but I don't know when it will be open

and i wouldn't worry too much about crowds. I've skied there my whole life and in recent years don't even need to worry about waiting in line.  Don't get me wrong they'll still be there but they're much smaller than 5 or 6 years ago.

Hey, so i took pictures but I'm away this week and don't have great internet so they aren't loading. Right now timberline is set up like: 3 small jumps in a row each with 2 take offs, then a 10 ft flat bar or a small double barrel, then a rainbow box or a wide flat box, then a wide flat box or a narrow box, then 2 more jumps each with double take-offs, then a flat box or a flat barrel. Plus there are 2 hikiable features: a flat bar and a flat box. I'll post the park report when I get back home but the park is really fun for a few laps and to just messing around on stuff. The park crew is killing it this year I can't wait for Bear's parks to open!

Have fun!!

rode that park a few days. Really fun, has great flow to it, soo many features in a row. Jumps are a bit small and the speed is hard to maintain through the jumps, but still was fun. also that tease of snow we got was good too. Definitely the coldest skiing i ever did, -20 with windchill froze me. i left this morning and today would have been so perfect. 20 degrees with bluebird and no wind. Great mountain though!

Pretty soon. I'm away right now but when I get back I need to start bugging Mt Ops because we have a big pipe comp at the end of jan so it needs to be prime by then!
