Thats it for the 07-08 ski season here at ATP. Today we featured an 80' Rail Jam, in addition to our 80' Pond Skim contest, both of which were a great success! Both parks were still holding up well for late March, with everything getting sessioned plenty today. Hope everyone had as much fun as we did this season, and we will see y'all next year!]]> Park Summary:

Park Summary:

Today was a nice day to be out riding, although it was a bit breezy, especially in the morning hours. The crew has been working hard lately, with all the rain and warm temperatures we have had recently, lots of rails and boxes did not survive the weather, and needed to be pulled off the hill to make way for some snow work. We did set up the rainbow box and 33 ft handrail in Appal Jam, and the tabletops over there are getting hit non-stop these days; they are on point. Candied Appal has been cleaned off and construction has begun for Fresh Fridays tommorow.

Temperatures stayed in the 50's for most of the day, Wind gusts reached the 50's as well, and it rained harder than it has in years. The melt was pretty incredible, but thanks to some sopping wet, hard working ATP crew members, most every feature survived the storm. Highlights from the day included: resetting the Shark Fin Box twice, watching the Stairset snow melt in front of our eyes, and skiing through a few rivers which appeared on select inruns. No photos today, just too nasty to take the camera out.]]> Park Summary:

Park Summary:

Great start to the day this morning, we found a coat of freshly made snow over all of our features, which groomed out amazing and should be prime throughout the day into the evening session. The hip at the bottom of Appal Jam was reworked with the Cat this morning, and will be receiving some final touch ups during the day. Everything else was left in mint condition overnight, and all takeoffs and landings are dialed right now.

Park Summary:

Another cold day in store at ATP. The sun popped in and out throughout the day, coupled with some stray snow showers as well. The crew did some more shovel work on almost every single feature in all parks, as our snowmaking system simply puts A TON snow out when it can. Lots of riders in both parks today, with many people getting out from school. Fortunately, the wind died down by the afternoon, making for a pleasant evening, especially night skiing.

Park Summary:

Cold, Windy, Snowy, and Wintry...That pretty much sums today up. Temperatures stayed in the teens throughout the day, allowing for some great snowmaking. The crew spent a good amount of time digging rails and boxes out of the snow, keeping them from getting completely buried! Both parks and Candied Appal are still in great shape, and now have some nice fresh snow over them.

All features held up well with the temperatures, the crew removed the Trap Box as well as one C Box from Candied Appal in between sessions to make more room for beginners in Candied Appal. All riders seem to be loving the new setup, look for it to be around most of the week, and make plans to come hit it up!

Park Summary:

Both parks looking good today, with Appaljack sporting a brand new feature for the Fresh Fridays this evening, courtesty of the crew members who came in after hours last night. The lift tower jib was moved from the quarterpipe at the bottom of Appaljack, and set up at the top of the slope, letting riders hit it as a flat rail. The bottom knuckle is now home to a 40' U box combo, that is hittable from both sides. Should be a great setup to watch riders on this evening, we will see everyone out at the session!

Another nice day out at the Mtn. The snow started out a bit firm with a little fresh layer on top, but softened up quick in the sun. The crew worked hard to get all the features in both parks open and looking good after all the rain. The crew is looking forward to an overnight rebuild tonight in order to get ready for the upcoming Fresh Fridays, definitely make it out for the event tommorow, as it should be another super fun setup!
