I hope my $239.00 season pass directly goes to making jumps. I'm happy to support improvements at pano.

Sweet but, it looks a little small. To ride the drop safely, it looks like I'd want a little bit of speed, but that with that speed, I might overshoot the step up. I guess we'll have to wait for the video to see how it flows before passing final judgement. Wink

Rode it today, speed is perfect. Go slow off the drop and hit mid tranny and send the right side wood ramp.

going slow doesn't sound perfect lol, gapping the bridge does though

looks cool but from the pics the bridge base looks skinny for the height... hopefully the posts are in deeep.

I guess my definition of slow would be different as to yours. Go and ride it.

Why the hell is everyone so damn critical on this forum? The trail crew at pano is great. Did you ever ride the trail 4+ years ago? The improvements to the park are great and I think they have one of the best crews this side of whistler.

Im impressed with the amount of work done this year,not trying to be critical. Im sure whistlers jump trails werent perfect the first time built/shaped either.

Ha! I think people with near a decade in the park have a right to voice an opinion, even if that opinion differs from the majority of people who ride there now. Truth is 5+ years ago there were a lot more trails to ride, the trails got more work done to them in a year and new trails were being built every year.

The past two season there has not been much new work put into the park. Some jumps here and there, re-routes, some shady wood work and that's about it. The new jump line looks great, had a chance to run the first few a couple weeks back and a great job was done by the machine operator to make it all flow well. But honestly it's sad to see less to ride there year after year.

Nice Owen! And don't get me wrong.....Pano is still my favourite hill to ride out of any. No lines, great trails, beers at the bottom, lakes and rivers to cool off and camp by, you can't beat it anywhere!
