phantom drop is way less than the redbull drop size wise. I think phantom is like 6 or 7 feet. Covenant is probably 13 feet. Just hit covenant, maybe tap the breaks if you landed really low and hit the cannon jump, hard to overshoot that this year since they lengthened the landing.

Dominion->Salvation are fun jumpy/flow lines on the top part of the mtn. Alpine or Crapshoot are both fun on the lower part. It looks like they're working on some new blue level jump runs so keep an eye out. If you've got 3 days, you'll have plenty of time to hit all the flow trails. They're all to the right off the lift with the exception of tempest. The trail map pretty much spells out where all the wooden features are out there. They also built up the new hip jump on the race course which is pretty rad and the finish line jump is big if its still up when you go, but you've gotta be flying to hit it.

Looking to the pinkbike family for some advise. We're looking to make the trip down from the Toronto(CAN) area some time in August and we're looking for places to stay. Anyone have any suggestions of decent places that are reasonably priced?

7 of us have a 3br townhouse ready at the Black Creek Sanctuary when we go in a week and half. $330/night and includes riding and taxes.(although not all 7 are riding). We wanted something with bbqs, pools, fire pit, no scary midnight hooker encounters, ride to the lift, this place seemed to tick all those boxes. Also, 3 day no bs cancellation policy is nice. It gives us the opportunity to keep an eye on the weather up until the last moment before we leave. Fingers crossed it's a good spot. Feel free to PM me in a few weeks and see how it went, we have never been and are leaving from Waterloo. Cheers.

Any idea how high the phantom drop is? And that red bull drop as well?

phantom drop is 8 feet. red bull drop is 10 feet down and about 8 feet out.

I must be measuring in Pink Bike feet because redbull feels bigger than 10 feet. I wonder how big the drop on NE style at Highlands is.

We're looking to go as cheap as possible, but also don't want a complete dive. Trying to keep it under $1000 for five days.

Check airbnb.com in vernon nj. I dont know how many of you there are, but theres some cottages and apartments up for rent in the area for a pretty reasonable price. I'd also look at the bike and stay packages, might be worth it with the lift ticket included. Any of the resort housing is going to be pretty nice. Also, they've got a triple play card for lift tickets that might save you a few bucks.
