This is definitely the right direction. I don't know how much more they will be cutting down, but it kind of looked like that trail would be relatively narrow. Sno doesn't really have any of those except easy street.

I bet most of them drink bottled water anyway, they wouldn't notice a thing.

Good point Glenn, thanks. I've been in the mindset of freeride for so long when it comes to board sizing. I"m around 180lbs now. I knew I needed a shorter board for the park, but I really don't know how short to go. Being a big guy smaller numbers have scared me in the past.

I'm on a 159 now so something around there if not a smidge smaller because it will be a park board and I definately need a WIDE.

I just found a good deal on a K2 Fuse wide from last year ($219) online. I've been wanting to get a park board for this year and it seems like a good idea. I just want to run it buy everyone on here if anyone has input on the board. I've never really looked into park boards too much so i'm almost new to that side of the sport. Thanks guys.

Just pull out all the stops and buy a basketball jersey.

11 minute ride!! Thats faster than long haul

Thats amazing. Both from an engineering and skiing perspective.

So is that what we're seeing here or are they going to put some decking on that frame? Has anyone ever tried to hit a qp made of solid plastic? It must be pretty weird. Then again, boulder had some plastic ramps for a rail or 2 which weren't terrible.

Great news on the tree cutting. I'm just curious if we'll actually see a new trail. They're obviously very ambitious to start in september, but there is a lot of grading/installing of pipes/pumps/guns before we're going to see a skiable surface. I'm pulling for them though!! and yes ski, puppies make phenomenal carving surfaces. I also heard that baby seals are the newest and coolest bonk feature for this season.

I just saw a pair of pontoons in person for the first time yesterday. I was just amazed at the rediculous size of the things and I kind of wanted to slap the owner of the shop for having 2 pairs in stock.

Even if they really really wanted to (which I'm sure they do) I wouldn't cross my fingers for new trails this year. Even if they pull it off by next year it would still be 20 times faster than the boot with their new trail. Besides, those trails are already there, you just have to dodge a few trees/porcupines and watch out for the cliff.

That sucks that forum isn't doing a movie this year. They came out here last year to premeir it and it was pretty sick. From what I saw of the trailer of MDP's new one it looks absolutely sick. Then again, you can say the same for Medellin.....

That is just sick. Sno is in good company too with the other stops being at Copper, Park City and Hood. Those aren't names to sneeze at and its cool to see Sno listed with them. Just one more reason for me to buy a park board for this season.

While a $10 ticket is really good, it kind of sucks that its only on wednesdays now. Last year college day was both tuesday and thursday for a $15 ticket. I went up there twice a week before sno opened because of it.

I can't even imagine what day to day costs would be for a place like that. If there was anywhere that should go all park its a place like that.

Their website says they're adding a deck and doing remodeling for this season. I'd be curious to know how much has actually been done though. Anyone want to do some recon for us?

I don't think it'll be that bad bigdaddyk. Worst case scenario you can still take refuge down on the north face

Sounds like something I'd wait a few seasons before I'd buy one.

boom boom room?

I'm 20 and a non smoker........

WTF mate. If this trail (which has been in the works for 3 years) doesn't open this year I'm taking my business to CB.

It would be cool if you kept it going through the season and into the spring. Then you would have the snowmaking process, all the daily snow movement of the season and then the melting.

Sounds like an awesome idea. The finished product will be sick!!
