Well everybody has been asking why we didn't open this weekend as planned. Check out the pic's and you'll understand! It's still like winter up here. The snow is starting to melt, but that and the ground thawing is leaving the tracks pretty muddy.

This is the downhill ski jump, notice how I'm working on building up the landing ramp. It used to step down in the middle. When I'm done it will step up another 5 feet but will gradually do so from the takeoff to the landing.

The landing will be much smoother. I think you'll also be able to jump further.

Hopefully I will be able to finish this and the flag jump this week.

The driveway is just as muddy as the tracks right now. I doubt we will actually open until the Weekend of March 14th which is two weekends away. I'll be sure to have the tracks in great shape before we open.

Actually my accountant didn't understand how a 6" suspension lift and 35" tires could be a business expense?? I showed him the pics and told him Its my resposibilty to check the tracks regularly.

It's about 4 hours on a good day of traffic for me to get to cinnci. Probably about 5-6 hours for you depending on traffic and which way you go. I myself am about an hour away.

The warm weather on Monday melted all the snow that was here. The ground is still in the process of thawing, but with these warm temps I'm expecting the ground to be thawed by the weekend.

I'm still finishing up the downhill ski jump - its almost done, and it looks killer. The landing ramp is so tall its sick !!!!

Haven't done anything to the kids track yet. But in the next couple weeks I'll be up there making some cool changes.

I haven't been able to do as much to the tracks as I had hoped with all the bad weather we had this winter. Trust me I'll be out there everyday now that the weather has changed, and you'll be seeing lots of changes every time you come up.

Its amazing your like 4 to 4 1/2 hours away and the difference in temps/ground conditions are huge. This winter has been warm/dry here in NJ as a whole. If breezewood was in NJ you literally could have been open most of the winter. I cant wait for a lil bit warmer temps to be constant though. Also daylight savings starts this coming weekend!
