hahahaa those that don't, teach. or something like that. nips is back this weekend then only 3 weekend days before he leaves again. NFO here we come! Post more pics of the jumps! equals about 1.5 second hang time..

http://www.jibacademyregistration.com/us/html/index_us.html Its free! Like the stop last year at Sno Mountain, (in spite of the crappy weather), this is the event for 16 and under skiers to be at. Granted its 4 hours drive for the majority who post on here, but its well worth the trip. John Symms, Tommy Ellingson, Nick Martini, Seth Warner and Michael Clarke attending Seven Springs. Additional coaches will be added as more and more kids sign up..... so sign up now! Symms is a nut. Good times! What is Jib Academy?

rail and box skills are dialed in, but IMO it needed proportionately more jump footage showing similar amount of variations. just me. ..

gts of nips... pleeeeeeeease? k thanx bye

find a different angle to catch the whole flight cl, landing included. thanx!

Cool coool.. sending you his cell number .. Both breck and keystone are super prime right now.

please hit the enter button twice to separate your typed thoughts. k? thanks!

Steven is back at Keystone this week and Aspen next week if anyone is going out, let me know, I'll tell him to be on the lookout for you. he is with Okemo Mountain School. Should be able to find him in A51 bright red Salomon pants and jacket.

yeah should have said last years season anyways.. nov 10th last year, and they would have opened on Nov 1st this year if they could have but weather.. Nov 20 this year. I don't remember closing dates but they were well into April. so going short..... April 1st. 38x130/599=8.25 happy now? Someone do Blue CB and Bear.

I bet there are probably only a handful of people who have visited all those parks in a short period of time this season who can objectively answer who has the best park. Any vote without actually visiting all of them is biased. Wouldn't the best park in our area be the one that offers the best value? The longest season and the most features make for the "best park" IMO The other stuff like ticket price, quality of snow, speed of the lifts, the infestation of noobs and gapers, how often the layouts are changed, and how well they are maintained could drag the value down if one or more of those things has a lot of importance to the individual voting for or against who has the "best park" Here, This is a suggested formula by using facts to help determine who has the best park. IMO of course. Take the number of features (jibs and Jumps) at height of season multiply times the days the park is open (typical season) divided by the cost of a unlimited adult season pass. Big Boulder Features = 38 each park is rebuilt every 2-3 weeks. Maintenance is performed every few hours Freedom - 10 Central - 3 Tannebau - 5 Snowdrift - 4 Love Park - 7 The Plaza - 6 Boulder - 3 Ramplestilt - 1 Average Big Boulder Season Nov 15th to April 15 = 150 days Last season opened Nov 10, this season Nov 20th Adult Pass after 10-31 = $599 (7-18yrs = $499) save $100 by purchasing before 10-31, I should add that Boulder in previous years dring March, sells a pass for around $350 that allows you to ride the rest of the season and the next. If you are a weekend rider, if you pay weekend rates individually for the remainder of the season, that money will pay for the entire following season! essentially allowing you to ski for free! So, 38 Features X 150 days divided by $599 Pass = a 9.51 rating. Using that formula, how do the other parks rate?

Yeah so this captures a different angle of Big Boulder. http://snowboarder.com/blogs/blog/20090115...r_hill-377.html

yay...... bout time!

blue the true mtn

You know what? I am going to make an appearance just so every freakin time dougy goes on about a PASR day I can tell him to STFU

They are for nooobs... Camp of Champions had one last summer. It was a failure. You get wrecked in wierd ways on big jumps. Apparently they twist you up in uh..... anyways thats second hand information. Windham has one...

pics of step-overs.

They look intimidating but they are not. Just to back up what was already described as a step over, this was from a report I wrote describing a step over.

anyone who plans to be there saturday, please post up the jump conditions after you get home. might stop by on sunday to get some different footage. Thanks!

werd ..........

Big Boulder.......... they open at 3pm on weekdays, correct?
