No. They are covered by snow and wind-drifted ......
They will be dug out with the cat tomorrow morning.
And yes, the first jump will be more step-over style so that speed is better for the second.

Those two Butterscoth jumps are setup great as a rhythm section, and also as tables with lots of pop. They look so much fun. Great work this year, especially considered what kind of weather you have had to work with.

Yeah they were a lot of fun.

Nick- do you know if the guy who ate it today is alright? It looked kinda bad when he wasn't getting up and I saw an ambulance driving towards Bolton on the way down.

No idea.....the guy that overshot the first jump? (pretty sure just a broken leg/knee issue) but, I saw patrol with a guest on a backboard with O2 and other scary things at about 4. That is what the ambulance was for, no idea what happened......

I saw they were making snow at the base, and on the flat part above the parking lots that they smoothed out this summer, for whatever reason. It looked like they groomed Villager this past weekend.
Anyone know what's up with the fencing over by Solitude and the glades on the left of Twice as Nice? It looks pretty extensive.

Thanks to everyone who came out for Night Riders! Stoked to see so many skiers this year!
Next week is scheduled to be slopestyle.......this may change if we don't have a legit set-up by then (i.e. if big park is not at least half built). I'll let errbody know ASAP

Eh... I like slope more... More pressure=Send it=Death or Stomp


Also we should make an edit with Carl. He's a robot. He can be in the Boltron edit.

His debut was in this short film. Watch him at the end. I built him all by myself.

Honestly, I'd rather have Jungle Jib be kept pristine than an attempt at a shitty butterscotch park.

There will be no bullshit, no mediocre crap, or half assed I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing garbage..........given the opportunity, I will build a nice small park for a nice small mountain.

YES NICK! I just came in here to post this! SMALL AIR! The jumps are also just the right size that they would be forgiving enough for people to learn some new schtuff, everyone would progress, it would be awesome. DO IT! Woohoo

Also, glidecam comes wednesday! Friday night edit anyone?

Snow report is calling for T-line to open soon. If that is the case, will Bolton be done making snow for the year? or is there a projection on when Butterscotch will get some more snow for construction? Any ideas on a Butterscotch build? How about the progression park? I am being patient with my knee and plan on starting small.
