Killington's site says they have a battleship box, up-flat-down im assuming, and a podium box. What the hell is that thing about? Plus anyone know wherre their jumps are on wildfire? How well are they shaped?

probably a box with 3 boxes side by side at different levels, like a podium

so you would do normal grinds on the top and then 5-0's on the sides?

I haven't been in the new park on Wildifre yet, but I talked to a friend who said the jumps were pretty nice. Apparently they have liek a 60 footer at the bottom that looks nice, too bad it as closed.

sounds sick. someone should get on one side, ollie to the top, down the other side, and throw some 1s in there to make it look sick

i'd still never touch salomon bindings with a 30 foot pole. they pre-release like its their job to.-lanks

Is it like a picnic table, big box in the middle, small ones on the sides? Snowboarders can use them much better than we can.

the real explination of what the boxes are. Podium box is 12 feet flat drop down 1 foot drop down to another 12 feet of flat. the box on the first table is the 'battle ship box' 8 feet up 8 feet flat and 8 feet down. AND yes the flat down rail is hot 8 feet flat to 16 feet down. what do you guys think of Wildfire?????

I think killington has a pussy podium box, I saw a real one on Mammoth's site last year. It was like 15 feet flat then ABRUPTLY steps up 1 foot, then flat for 15 feet, then drops another 1 foot and then 15 feet flat. pretty sure it's impossible to slide on skis

The battle ship box is awesome! The parks at bear are NOTHING like bloodshed used to be. My only gripe are the lift lines. Seems like ones on snowshed were shorter...
