Within an hour of shooting that it turned into real snow but none was settling. That was the first stuff that fell.

It kept coming all day sometimes heavy! Now it’s dark the temp should drop and the village will get some on the ground.

There are actually a few people around and I saw plenty coming down highnoon all day. I was going to bother riding though - maybe tomoz.

What do you guys think of the new Thredbo Park features?

It annoys me that “park” once meant jumps, but now it’s mostly rails and boxes. If there’s jumps, it’s usually a showcase line of larger kickers that the majority of punters wouldn’t even contemplate, and neither my knees nor my balls can handle that anymore. I’m all about meticulously maintained sharp edges (and keeping my knees intact), so parks are mostly a waste of time for me.

I get it though - it’s largely about resort PR. You can get a park up and running a lot earlier and maintain it easier if it’s all been made in a warehouse prior to the season - and the more impressive the features, the more bragging rights. Most jumps don’t really cater for the average punter though, and that’s a shame.

I totally agree with your points chucky.
I wish parks made more jump based features, and not just massive booters. progressive jump lines as well as more things like rollers and mini hip type features. Things that are more like natural jumps and features. And things that everyone cant hit.

Also agreed. More jumps less rails!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I realised that Tj on the first day I strapped in and acknowledged to myself that I had been talking through my bumhole in the other Thread.

It must be time for a reminder that spaz makes up what he doesn’t already know. Be cautious when listening to what he says.
