Superpipe Pipe
Breckenridge goes big with a 22-foot superpipe for the 2010-11 Season
The Olympics in Vancouver featured the new 22-foot industry standard superpipe. A 22-foot superpipe is required to attract the top riders in the world. The new superpipe at Breckenridge is expected to make its nationally televised debut during the first stop of the Winter Dew Tour in mid December. Now all three stops on the Winter Dew Tour, Breckenridge, CO, Killington, VT, and Snowbasin, UT, will feature 22-foot superpipes.
The 22-foot superpipe will be maintained all season by master superpipe cutter Nick Simon, so you can drop into the same pipe used in the Dew Tour. The new superpipe is part of the facelift Breckenridge is giving to the Freeway Terrain Park on Peak 8. This is the first major upgrade since its inception in 1999.
Not to be outdone, Woodward at Copper Mountain is also featuring a 22-foot superpipe that will host the 2011 US Snowboarding Grad Prix in early December. Woodward is a year round ski and snowboard training camp dedicated to park and pipe progression. A safe and fun learning environment is provided for all levels of park and pipe riders and skiers.
With two Olympic-size superpipes, Summit County has solidified itself as a world class stop for freestyle snowboarding and skiing competitions.
If you want to start a little smaller, Copper Mountain's other park and pipe offerings include the Main Vein Superpipe, Catalyst Terrain Park, Eagle Jib Park, and Kidz Terrain Park. Breckenridge has five terrain parks including Park Lane with jumps and rails, Country Boy with a 14-foot halfpipe, Eldorado with a beginner progression, Trygves with beginner features, and Freeway with the 22-foot superpipe and advanced features making it one of the top parks and pipes in the world. Keystone has the award-winning A51 terrain park that is even open for night skiing. Arapahoe Basin has two terrain parks including Treeline, the highest terrain park in North America, and High Divide, a progressive terrain park.
Breckenridge is set to open for the season on November 12, 2010. Copper Mountain and Keystone are set to open on Friday, November 5th. Arapahoe Basin is always in a race with Loveland to see which can be the first ski area in North America to open for the season. Its opening day will be determined by weather conditions.

Need help with SSX3 for PS2.. PLZ!!!?
so on any of the super pipes.. there is the big pipe in the middle.. and then the two smaller pipes above and on either side..
well i cant figure out how to get to the upper pipes.. thats where all the 10x are... im almost completely done with the game... but iv ot this one superpipe event.. and i cant beat it.. and im pretty good..
i think i need to get up top... how do i do this.?
Here is a quote from the source i provided, it is a good walkthrough and i believe this answers your question
"In Superpipe events, there are certain areas of the track you can only
get to if you use the handplant to get up there. For example, in the Peak 3
Superpipe, Perpendiculous, there are pipes well above the track you can only
get to if you handplant onto the thin red bars located at the very end of the
pipe. Similarly, in Schizophrenia, there are alternate pipes on either side
that you must get to by handplanting at the top of the middle pipe and then
letting go and dropping down into the alternate pipe."
