S Rail install

December 22 marked the beginning of jib installation in the Quiksilver Park. It was also the first Park Build Session where we invited up park locals to be involved with the construction and gain first-hand insight into how parks are built. The major project of the day was installing the brand new S Rail. From start to finish it took around 3 hours to build the platform, move the rail into position, hand shape, fine tune, and test. Hopefully this video shows a bit of the work that it takes to install what soem may think to be a simple feature to set up. Cashen does some excellent runing commentary from the snowcat thanks to the new wireless microphone kit we purchased. This should come in very handy for future film shoots.

This is what im doing for my volunteer hours, you get a free season pass and a job after.

Great deal.

This must be a fun job, first you install the features and then at the end you try them out

Just decoration for the rail, usually mountains will put their logo or some other cool graphic on the side, but this rail is just solid orange.

It doesn't matter what you add to the Snow Parks at Grouse... because you have to ride the "Screaming Eagle" chair at the end... which commonly has 30+ minute LiftLines! Pretty hard to get any runs in with that kind of wait every time...

If you want help the Snow Park at Grouse either:

1) Put in a new Chair

2) Make a trail to get from the Park(s) to the Olympic Chair, which usually have 1/10th the LiftLine!

Letting out the SnowPark(s) to that LiftLine at the bottom of the Cut is tragic...
