They usually just have one run. Here is a pic of the park. Looks like 2 down rails, an up down to a dfd, and a mini box to a flat down box.

for me its two hours of driving to hit 3 features on a tiny ass rope tow, its fun. but really not special. id rather wait a few more weeks and ski when more is set up. in comparison when abasin opens for the season, they have a decent looking park set up, something i wouldnt think twice about driving two hours to hit
