Trail Update - April 20, 2010
Opening day is 10 days away and the ParkLogic crew is making tremendous progress. The crew is working overtime and as we approach week 5 of pre-season trail-building, there has already been a ton of improvements!
- Sections of Asylum have been revamped to control erosion and greatly improve flow
- A new bridge [replacement] has been added to the lower section of Waterboy near the merge with Victory
- The end of Twist has been reshaped and drainage improved
- The mid-section of The Jack has been completely rerouted (avoiding ski trail traverse). The new section adds a ton of flow and really improves the overall trail. In addition, the entrance to the Jack is now located near the entrance of Deceit (closer to gondola).
- A NEW double has been added to the end of Pipeline making this line even more fun for those who dig steep and poppy features
- Sections of Greenhorn have been tweaked to improve drainage and consistency
- The pirate line from Greenhorn to Salvation has been closed! Pirate lines = bad
- The run-in of the 2nd kicker on Salvation has been improved to assist drainage and improve speed
- We are currently working on Domboo and most of the upper section is being completely rerouted to be better suited for novice-level riders. The new reroute will greatly improve the top-to-bottom experience for new riders looking to get their feet wet on less intimidating terrain.
Much more on the way! It is going to be a busy 10 days, but the ParkLogic crew is dedicated and committed to getting as many improvements complete before opening day!
Stay tuned! Pics coming soon...
