.:Hawksnest - Enter the park (Ravens Run) from "The Right Stuff". You will find a narrow chute dropping down into the park, with a ground rail on a bit of incline, then hit the medium sized rail.

The first tabletop is after that, and upon landing, you have a choice of hitting a table and a rail, or a 40 foot rainbow rail and a 20 foot kink rail. Finally you hit the last big kicker with a great take off, get air, land, and ending up cruising back into the Goshawk run. There are also numerous hits, jibs, and a spine spread across the mountain for your riding pleasure. The ASU SnowBoarding Club rides at Hawksnest and along with the snowmakers, maintain and design the park. Out of the park on their main run, "The Right Stuff" is the biggest jump at the mountain, it is great to hit fast or slow because of a long transition to land on. I say "make the landing longer because you can go over the landing". But this is wonderful and they are the only mountain with a huge kicker in the middle of the slope.

Beginners - if you crash on landing, get the heck out of the way because you are in the landing zone.


Hawksnest has a big, long, tabletop with a great launch and landing on their main slope. This is a great idea and I am glad to see the jump back this year, way to go guys!. You can hit this jump by riding either chairlift.
