These are from opening weekend, I thought the trails were alot of fun and will only improve... Re: Freeride Park Pics!

Western Side of the mtn offers the Dh coarses, much more elevation much longer runs/faster etc.... the Eastern Side is serviced by a lift and runs are about half as long and there are quite a few trails spidering down, much more north shore influenced....... also a mtnx coarse with good sized gaps.....

(besides this past weekends national event) all in all there is probably about 20 stunts up there right now, but the trails are what most talk about, they are really techy.... they have ordered more wood to build with and plan to have 20 open trails by the end of the summer. so probably well over 50 stunts I'm sure......
