The rain and snow stopped just long enough to get some hot laps in Timberline’s new park, Otto Lang. In my 12 years of snowboarding there’s one thing I always look forward to when spring hits, its Otto Lang. And this year Timberline really out did itself. Almost a mile long run of jumps and jibs that should make people from across the northern hemisphere severely jealous. With most resorts across the country closed, here we are sitting on a 7 (yes I said 7) jump line. Ranging from about 15-20 feet all the way up to the biggest jump which I paced out at around 55 feet. All with great take offs and even better landings.
The park department did an amazingly awesome radical job on this park. Now if mother nature would just help us out a little with some sunshine. Hopefully Timberline will bless us with two more weeks of extended riding.
Stay tuned for a report on the superpipe. If it ever stops raining…

Sunday, May 16th 2010 marked the end of the lower parks at Timberline. With the yearly death of Paintbrush and Conway’s comes the birth of Otto Lang. While no where near as fun (in my opinion) as the lower parks, Otto Lang still has a TON of super fun options, first and foremost being the spring superpipe. Timberline’s lack of steepness on the lower mountain makes it impossible to build and maintain a superpipe in the winter so the spring pipe is always a welcome feature.
So for now, say goodbye to Paintbrush and Conway’s and hello to Otto Lang…Stay tuned for a full report as soon as the weather clears.
Check out some more photos from closing day HERE.

This last week went off in the parks. The skiers from New Schoolers came into town in full force to shred. The parks got a bit of a facelift and they even built up a HUGE jump for them to session. Here are the photos from the homie Drew at DSImagery.com.

It’s one thing for a resort to have a fun park. Something everyone can ride and have a good time in. This is essential for any resort to grow its freestyle customer base. But it’s another thing for a resort to build a park that truly tests the limits of not only it’s riders but also what the resort can deal with as far as risk. It’s a delicate balance. I remember when Timberline wouldn’t even allow rails in their parks. We’ve come a long way. And Paintbrush is proof of that.

I’ve been working on ways to generate some income from the site so I can reinvest and bring you guys more features and a better overall site. At the same time, I want to provide something in return instead of just asking for donations. (which I do accept through paypal)
So here’s what I’m going to try. When the weather is good, I’m going to be shooting photos in the parks. If you see me shooting, holla at me. I will have all the photos from that day posted within 24 hours. If you see something you like, you will be able to purchase the photo, have it printed, and shipped to you. Easy! This service will get better as we go. I’m still working on the best way to implement it. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. So here we go. The Timberline Parks Photo Store is now open for business.

Paintbrush is coming together nicely. The jumps still have a way to go before they are up to the caliber of last season but they are still fun. The jibs, though few, are set damn near perfect. I keep hearing that the plan is to wait until the contests are finished and then they are going to stack everything up. Taller jumps, taller landings, more rails and jibs, etc. Hopefully this plan goes through.

Ok so I’ve been slackin’. However, you’ve got to admit, there hasn’t been much to report on. Over 2 weeks of rain and sugary shit snow have kept me on the couch dreaming of better weather. But I think this post will make it all worth the wait. The title says it all! Paintbrush is set to open TOMORROW! I’ve been told it will stay on the small side until the USASA contests are over. Once those are finished, and provided we get some snow between now and then, you can expect the jumps to grow.
