The flat down was fun, so was the 2 dfd's. They took out the long flat bar though, for no reason. The whole minipipe thing was a waste of space. It was fun in all but wasn't maintained so half the shit wasn't even hittable. The big jump line was basically the only fun, and the week they had the long down rail to flat. Really hope it's better next year.

Edels park was a fucking shit show last year, the jumps were decent at times, but they had maybe 5 legit rails all year, and didnt effectivly use their space. save your money buy a tremblant pass.

i like edeweiss better even though they lack rails, considering prolly the better jumps in the region against cascade, fortune and the others, and one of the more faster chair lifts too

Best thing about edelweiss is the chair. Cascade is just brutal, I don't think I have ridden a slower lift in my life.

Honestly. If your going to invest in a new chair they should have waited another year and saved more money for a highspeed.

detachable high speed quad, the only way to go. they could probably save money if they didn't pay like 6 lifties to all stand around the base of that quad too

I think they only put it up since they got an amazing deal on it. It was already owned by St Sauveur (same company) and was just sitting in a parking lot or something. so costs were quite minimal compared to buying a new lift.

yea he can be a bit uptight. He really pissed me off once. I left my skis leaning up at the base lift hut while I quickly went to grab something from the patrol hut. He figured they were 'in his way' even though they clearly weren't and it was right at the end of his shift. he brought them around the back then left for the day. didn't tell me where they were or anything. would have been just perfect if I got a call and couldnt find my skis.

That would be super sick if it was an actual pipe. But unless they're getting some pipe equipment i don't think that's happening. And the guy with the dog is kalen. He's a great guy, super helpful. He shapes all the jumps and is pretty damn good at it.

Haha, Larry used to hate us, always had our passes in our pockets, cutting in the the ski patrol line, but as soon as he realized we were english he sort of lost all hate for us, and was really nice.

I really hope they make the jump line bigger. Last year was alright but they could have been way bigger. And more pop. They were flat as saskatchewan last season.
