SHRED and GOLF Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 sidewinder opens 2morrow with a flat box, staircase,and some sort of jump. thank god, come around is getting BEAT Quote
Rodeo Steve Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Excellent news..and welcome to PASR..I can't wait to ski down the steps..woo hoo Doug your avatars are always unusual, but I wouldnt have it any other way. Quote
Justin Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Is this for real??? Not all of Sidewinder...see the other post for more details. They're opening with the staircase, flat box, and a 30 foot step up. Quote
shopey1080 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 you cant get enough speed to do anything on the step-up...it sucks but it should all be good when the rest is open...the flat box is sick..stair case is a lil sketchy Quote
Shadows Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 its not a step up. its more or less a stepdown. and you can get speed if you hike up a lil. but once you have enough speed you still wont want to hit it. theres no pop at all and the landing is nice and steep so you either case it, or over shoot it... there is no sweet landings. they built a good landing and a good takeoff, but for two different style jumps. the landing would be nice for a step over/really poppy table. the takeoff would be nice on a 45 foot cliff into 3 feet of powder. they know how to build things i guess, just dont know how to match them up and make it work. flat box is good. round coping is nice, its real long too. but the lip is too far back.

method9455 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 It is certainly easier to tweak a ramp than the landing, it shouldn't be too hard to fix with a little cat work. Quote
toast21602 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 so, does blue have a park yet? they have had a park. thanks. didn't boulder's dick tell you that? Quote
Justo8484 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 uhhhh whats with the lip on that flat box? its about 4 inches high, and 3 feet back from the rail....? and the 'rebuild' on come around? the flat down rail was better before, besides the crosstrail traffic. Quote

Totally Agree. The lip on the rail cannot be any closer if you wanna ride the whole rail. You should have come to the Park Crue meeting. You would have been hired. Quote
Shadows Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 its a little late now. see ya later homie. Quote

You would have been hired. not sure if i follow. you could set it up higher off the ground and have a mellow urban style lip on either side of it? sure, you miss the first 2 feet or so, but it'd be better than how it is now. its just kinda awkward right now.

This rail is gonna be moved to the top of the park. It was constructed to be a low rail. Where it is now, the terrain is very steep. We are fixing the lip to make it better today. On Monday the rail will be gone. Quote
train36 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 The parks were in good shape today, come around was nice and so was lower sidewinder. I was really only hitting the box on lower sidewinder and hit the cylinder type thing at the bottom once that got open. I also got to take a run through terrain run before I left and was very impressed. The mini pipe was nice and the boxes setup on it were also fun, small but fun. Conditions were great all over the mountain and it was another good morning session. Its nice having terrain run open because you can hit almost any run and get to it some how, at the end of a good run its nice having a mini pipe and a few jibs to play around on. Quote
n0xidee Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Yeah, they have a mini half pipe at the top of Terrain Run Park. Quote
train36 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Yep they have a mini pipe at the top of terrain run that was cut today, they also have a butter box, flat down box , rainbow box and a mailbox set up sideways on top of some snow. They cut the pipe and were grooming all morning, its a real cool feature. You can only get maybe two hits but its fun and a nice change of pace. The regular pipe is pretty much filled with snow and I could see them cutting that soon as well, Sidewinder has a ton of snow on it. Quote
toast21602 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 nice, thats kinda cool. i look forward to seeing how things are at blue when i get back. Quote
peski28 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 excited to hear that sidewinder finally has a ton of snow. im in tremblant till next week and hoping that it'll be open by the time i get back. Quote
snorovr Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 Mondayish for Sidewinder say the walls in the lodge... Quote
toast21602 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 i hope it survives the big melt down. Quote
snorovr Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 i hope it survives the big melt down. I hope you survive some real snow!!! Quote
