  3. Shawnee's Park this weekend??

    in Other Mountains

    Posted

    well you shouldn't have been suprised ParkBuilder posted the park layout on friday becuase i asked him before i drove an hour out there for it. i could have gone to mountain creek for free but i felt like doing some free riding and the trails at shawnee had snow that was like a hundred times better than what was left at mountain creek. besides shawnee isn't the best place for late season park becuase there is dirt under the features instead of a flat trail with snow features, there is less snow to push around. if those plateaus in the middle where snow instead of dirt there would be enough snow to push around and keep it going, but you can see the dirt melting through. it opens faster that way but ends sooner. i'd personally stick with the dirt, i'd rather hte park open full earlier than close later becuase parks usually have a low priority on snowmaking and the mountain usually closes with plenty of coverage anyway.

     

    Either way, i still had a hell of a lot of fun, mostly just becuase of those 2 spines and the up-flat-down setup plus the nostaligia of going back to shawnee after a 4 year absesnce. My first day of snowboarding ever was at shawnee, and so was my last day of snowboarding before college, and its kind of unclear how much i will do in college so its like full circle for me.

     

    Besides i remember when i was throwing 360s on skis like 5 years ago thinking bushkill would be the perfect place for a park. and i also rememeber breaking two pairs of skis in 2 days, and then getting nutted on the 3rd day and deciding it was time to snowboard instead. Good fucking times. If i had a drink i'd toast it to shawnee for lots of memories.

     

     

    couldn't have said it better myself...even though i broke my arm last saturday at shawnee...bs to gap to fs on the battleship box and slipped out..ugh stupid mistakes.

     

    ok so anyway, shawnee came a long way this year(thanks to keith) and props to that man. i loved it. good season

    Yeah, i was there last saturday. not the best. the second landing looks perfect. just as good as the first. keep that first kicker there. maybe reshape it a bit but other than that its lookin good.

     

    also the flat down box was covered in snow *it was really hard to get enough speed to hit it with the 3'gap too. the doube box was slidin a'right...oh and the second rail was completely covered in snow. but i guess it was all for next snow search...

     

    everything else. was good. the wallride was really nice last saturday too
