when does MCBP usually close for the season? Hoping to get in a few weekends before they switch over to snow season.
The official last day is November 4th, but it's obviously weather-dependent.

which trails?
this made me lol a lot.
I'm going to set my chip to slack position on the bike, but not sure about fork and shock pressure. Should I set less sag than before? I was running about 30%, is less better for the bike park?
27-33% or 17-21mmNo no no! Not Less! What is the range the bike spec’d for? I was thinking about stashing my shock pump in a locker so after the first run if anyone need to make adjustments we can sort it out before we up the anti.
Tires, if tubeless, a few psi more than chimney for starters. Tubes, 5+ more than chimney. If we decide to do more of the natural trails we’ll need to add a few more than that too.
27-33% or 17-21mm
my tires are 22 front and 20 rear on HR2s
Yeah, I rode like a guy with 10 kids and a 100K life insurance. Having my seat dropped the whole time and not being able to pedal took a while to figure out. The brake bumps did suck but really started enjoying the flow but couldn't link the turns or carry speed around the turns to really have fun. I have to say, DH is a completely different animal. I'd like to learn to hit some tables next time. Can some one give me some tips? I was brake checking as I hit each one as I had no clue what to do if I didn't...I'm pleased to report, @qclabrat did not die.
You mean OOS is going to learn to fly?Hmmm, maybe an OOS road trip to highlands to next year?

I'm accustomed to hitting tables from skiing but whenever I land short, the impact compresses my spine and I'm done for the day.I suck at the jumps, but I can tell you this: at your (and probably my) speed braking is completely unnecessary before the jumps.

they weren't big, and pretty sure it was on a green which dumped you into a fire road running perpendicularI kinda depends on the jump. Many of the jumps at Creek can be lippy, although I'm not sure which trail you were riding. Breakout? I think that one has some moderate tables on it. But it really just means practice. Finding a section of trail you can hit and then hike back up and hit again a few times. The "B-Line" on Lower Dominion to the right is good for that. Three or four jumps that can be ridden and then quickly hiked/ridden back up to ride again. They aren't as tall as the main line and the lips aren't as steep. You do need to push down to land the backside properly and keep your speed into the next jump, but that takes practice to get comfortable doing.
