This is a full view of the inrun taken from the knoll. The final meter of the inrun, as it is currently shown in the photo, will be cutoff to hopefully have pretty much everyone going out of the house versus from the bars. Normally there has only being 2-3 inches of snow on the takeoff but with the new profile the takeoff will be closer to 12 inches of snow. This will help improve the takeoff angle and should also help to keep the end of the inrun from turning to ice like it has in the past. Late February and early March has been tricky at times over the past five years. I can remember back a couple of years ago when the 50 wasn't even jumpable, due to lack of snow, any time during the month of March. Then again, this past winter we jumped the 50 on March 21st, the latest it has ever been jumped. We could have even jumped it on Easter Sunday, if it wouldn't have been for the holiday. Keeping the ice down will help to extend the jumping season and keep late season work on the hill more to minimum as well.
