Perisher 2014

I was told it will be 18ft directly from Charles Beckinsale. I’m not sure what it was previous seasons but it definitely didn’t look to be 22ft when we had the Shred there a couple of seasons ago. 22ft is freaking massive!

Actually…

Just been googling…

Wasn’t the gifting the pipe cutter from Shaun a bigger cutter?

Apparently ‘his” pipe was 22ft - so maybe it has always been 18ft?

I always knew (from marketing hype) that the Perisher pipe was a “Superpipe” but I thought it was tad smaller in size to an Olympic pipe.

Further googling has revealed that an olympic pipe is 22ft.

(slow day at work…)

Dyldo its been 18ft forever hence the hype surrounding the 22ft cutter. Having ridden a 22ft pipe at cardrona i can confirm that 22 is a lot bigger than 18!

Just wondering if any one knows if bc will get a park this year???  they had one around the same size as Leichardt in 2012…  (2 25-30ft jumps. 2 table tops and a box at the bottom, iirc) they didn’t make it last year (presumably due to the lack of snow) but we have has plenty of snow this year. Every other park is up and running.. (and some even had a few rebuilds already) but still no bc park?  - we like it because it wasn’t as busy as Leichardt. And bluecow is always fun for exploring and tree runs if you want a change between laps…

I haven’t heard anything either way.

I just checked the trail map and it is still marked on there so you would hope that they would be planning on building one.

Since they re designed the trail map this year they would have taken it off.

I suspect now the Pipe is open they might focus their attention over there.

Ask on Facebook?
