We are also planning to have the Superpipe open on the Warm Springs side of Baldy by Christmas. At this time we haven't decided on other terrain features near the Superpipe. There will be a small demo jib park built at the base of River Run for the Gondola Ganza on November 21 and that small park will remain there until at least the Dollar Mountain terrain park is completed.

Yes I agree we can't wait for this. We skiers LOVE Sun Valley and are happy they are finally coming around to the snow boarders in our families!!! Thanks for answering Jack- so just to clarify... 1) The terrain park's going to be on Dollar not Baldy 2) Concepts are starting this winter so it may be built by next winter? 3) Will any elements of a terrain park remain on Baldy? 4) Where is "Old Bowl"?
