Mount Snow's Un Blanco Gulch - 1st full terrain park in the East

[clenois]

Hey there A-zoners,

Can't wait to answer your Q's in the Alpine Zone challenge, but I just wanted to drop in real quick and let freestylers know we've got Un Blanco Gulch rolling as a full terrain park as of noon today (Saturday, 12/9).

Our park and pipe manager, Ken Gaitor, just gave me the list of 11 features in place. More could be going in through the day. Here they are from the top of the park to the bottom.

1) Doghouse (a mini wallride)
2) Hip jump (25')
3) Trap Box
4) Flat Down Rail
5) Flat Rail
6) Step Down Jump (20')
7) Narrow Flat Box (20')
8) Rainbow Rail (20')
9) Flat Bar (20')
10) Butter Box (Gaitor struggled to describe what this was beyond this term, guess you'll have to see it for yourself.)
11) 25' Step Down Jump

And tonight from 4-7pm, we're opening our Mixing Bowl tubing area as a jib park. (Calling it JIBLET.) Gaitor is planning 4-5 features under the lights, and serviced by a magic carpet lift. Park use is available for holders of a Season Pass or a valid lift ticket, or you can pay just $10 to come and experience some Saturday Night Freestyle under the Lights.

Later.

Yeah, like I said, Gaitor had a hard time describing the butter box beyond what he called it. (I actually haven't had a chance to get out there and see it yet.)

Our Snow Reporter is out shooting photos so maybe we'll get one that will help. Here's a couple others he took right when it opened this morning.

Apparently I suck at putting photos in here sorry. Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.

Nope. It was an issue on my end. All set now.

Here's a shot of the butter box, good for nosepressing or tailpressing.
