toast21602 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 I hope you survive some real snow!!! yo, i dont break my skis in powder like justin does. i just do swedish donuts through the BC backcountry. Quote
snownskateguy Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 park crue did a good job saturday. great day. minipipe is interesting, i was getting fun little hip-type hits instead of dropping in. then maybe a slash and a tailblock. hmm. i cant wait for a straight flat or down rail to hit though. sooo many boxes Quote
Stevo Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 The mini pipe is actually pretty fun. You can't really air out of it though, since the lip is so mellow. It'd be awesome if they threw the wallride from come around on the side of the pipe. Maybe even throw the mailbox in as some coping like they had a few years back in the big pipe. Quote

Justin Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 I was pretty impressed with how fast the parks shot up. The jump was a lot better than I expected it to be. I hiked a bit up on Saturday night towards the snowmaking piles for my drop in. The lip is decent and poppy, but the landing is a bit too short and steep for the takeoff. I was landing pretty low, and it was all ice so my confidence level wasn't super high on that. Not to mention a crowd started to form near the landing waiting to hit the flat box, and the trees kind of freaked me out so thats when I called it quits. The mini pipe was fun as shit. It's better for hip airs though. I just pumped through it and hit the hip to the right. Lower terrain is really nice. The flat down is perfect for disasters. I mean if you even approach it with a little speed you'll disaster it. The butter box was pretty simple as butter boxes go, and the rainbow needs a gap on. As for sidewinder, I'm not really feeling the flat box lip setup. I just don't like it for some reason. And the staircase is pure sketch. Looks too short and has too little of an urban lip for me to hit it. Quote

Rodeo Steve Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Any update on Sidewinder? They were building all last night. Today? Tomorrow? Ill be heading up around 3 so Ill find out. Quote

Ill be heading up around 3 so Ill find out. i would assume building it would be done by tomorrow, but opening it for tomorrow or thursday with all this rain seems like a bit of a waste... Quote
