big jumps are back!
Sorry for the long delay and the bad camera phone pictures, but our biggest jumps will open tomorrow, 3/25. We finished as much shaping today as was possible until the snow got too sticky for cat work. Hollywood will put his touch on them tonight for their grand opening tomorrow. The double line is bigger than anything we've built off of Accelerator but not quite as big as what we used to build on 49ner in the CORE park. They should be fun lap-able jumps for those inclined(and capable!) for such things as hucking off pro size jumps. For those not yet up the task of these big jumps there are two lower entries into the jib and medium jumplines below, plus there will be the superpipe when it re-opens as another option to the XL jumps. The first jump is a true step down and the second is half table/half step down. Pipe may re-open tomorrow as well. So disregard to beat appearance in the photos because Jay was still cutting and I have some more work in there tomorrow am before it possibly re-opens. The pipe has taken a beating since the zaugg cat when down awhile ago and it hasn't had regular TLC like it usually would. It has taken some time to get the zaugg hooked up to a different cat and getting it working properly. Today we chainsawed the walls straight and did as much work as one can do before it turns into a total rebuild. Some more grade work tomorrow and some more cutting to the east wall and the pipe will be as good as new for the rest of the season..straight as an arrow and super smooth. We are going to be adding as much as we can to the park lines off Accelerator for the rest of the season for maximum park shredding after Dutchman closes on the 29th. We'll keep you posted on the additions as they come.-E
Pro Double line
Isn't cool when jumps are are as tall as the chairlift!
First jump is a true step down
