my stance? its like 22 or 24 i think. maybe i'll try it wider next week.

Id say sorry I missed it, but I was up in Killington this weekend, and we got about 8 inches of fresh snow up there on friday, so it was pretty awesome. they had a few fun boxes set up and a few jumps. good stuff. anyway, when does creek open south during midweek? are they starting that this week or waiting until the week leading to Christmas, as per usual?

they already started opening mid-week

really? how tall are you? i'm 5'2 and my stance is 22. but eh do whatever is comfortable

yeah, im 6 foot i may kick it all the way out to 25 this weekend, i'll have to wait and see.

thats soo wide for someone so not tall like that hahah

anyone going to creek tonight(monday)???

wait... so theyre open every night already?

yup. i plan to be up there tomorrow night.

december rains are coming ...http://www.erh.noaa.gov/ifps/MapClick.php?CityName=Vernon&state=NJ&site=PHI

I was there today (monday) they are open till 9pm i believe. It was great, i like the little park they've got set up and there were no lift lines. Got kinda icey as the sun fell but thats normal. I will be back up again on wed.

What rails were open? And how big are the hits? I'm going up tommorow.

theres a small beginner rail, a medium sized ride-on box, and 2 kickers, probly 20 -25 ft. gaps at most

no offense gwr your not the only one who does this, but no way in hell are they 20 foot gaps. If those are 20 foot gaps i've hit 50 foot gaps (which i haven't but by your measurements, i can say i did), if those are 20 what the hell is the jump thats usually at the end of kybher? it makes me want to go up there and measure that shit for people. I saw the same thing today on a post on the camelback website saying that one of their jumps was a 60 footer last year. The biggest jump at camelback was about a 15 footer last year. If you say 20 foot gap that means end of hte lip to the knuckle, that couldn't have been more than 9 or 10 feet on either of them, the first is like 2 or 3 board lengths and the second maybe a shade longer. anyway, thats just something that makes me angry. when people exagerate the size of stuff 1) its not accurate for people asking and 2) waters down when people who actually can and did do a 20 foot jump or a 30 or 40 foot jump, and then poeple hitting 8 foot jumps can claim 20. I'd say 8-10 on both tables. Imagine the last table on flying fox last year, the small one, twice in a row in exhibition, its actually nice. the lips are short and its great to warm up on. The box is either the one that started out sugar last year, or one of the new 20 foot flat boxes. I think its one of the new ones just becuase it felt a little differant sliding it, but the ramps into the rails are nice this year. They are wider than usual, it looks like they're using the full blade width from the cat for both the rails and the jumps instead of just the center part of the blade. The flat rail is the normal ride on flat rail in exhibition (maybe 5-6" wide, 14 feet long?), i didn't hit it becuase me and that rail have never gotten along, i'd personally rather hit the 40 footer than that thing becuase the landing is always rutted, but i don't think it was setup ride on. The box was setup well, tiny gap and no landing rut. Overall the snow was sick for early december, i'd say its equal to mid-february conditions (not icy january but not soft march or april, and not spotty normal december), i honestly saw no grass popping through like i usually do in the opening. All the trails on south that have a good amount of snow on them are open, the others appear to have nothing. There are some trails on bear with enough snow to open but no grooming, and vernon has way more snow than i expected. The pipe specifically has like a massive amount of snow, and the sugar jib park has a lot too, i still stnad by my prediction that the sugar jib park will be where the rome jibulation is - exhibition would require a rework for it and I don't think they'll do it. Its either the sugar jib or flying fox but you can't get sponsor tents and stuff up to flying fox, i would bet sugar jib for exposure. My 0.02 cents - i'm hoping its going to be a good year, i had a great first day.

and its too far out to call for rain, some are saying snow (accuweather) and the temps are only 37 on the noaa forecast. that will most likely be an ice storm on the mountain cuz the snow chills the air above it a bit. so yea, boiler plate until they groom it but even if it is rain, at 37 that won't be disasterous to anything they have opened yet - only the trails that have natural snow or very little manmade snow

I'll be up there tomorrow night after 5. if you see someone around the park in all black clothes, silver helmet, and a black and green gnu snowboard, just say "yo Raze!" if I dont hear ya, ride up and whap me to get my attention ;)

I'll be at Creek today, all day probably.. leaving right now with Jon. Look for the dude in the orange jacket, with stash pocket and Palmer Burn.. that'd be Jon.. so sneak behind him, kick his knee and call him a fag. Good day everyone.

opening day at creek....... http://www.njkayaker.com/snowboarding%20video/Boarding%20Cam.mov to bad it was so busy because I couldn't get any speed for the jump and then got cut off on the second one. working on getting the head cam placement dialed in. http://www.njkayaker.com/snowboarding%20video/NJK_MCsouthhit_med.mov steve [Edited on 12/13/2005]
