So I started this new thread becuase there is no need to drag a old one out from last year.
It is 11/21 and they have not started blowing snow yet. At this point the projected openening day is 12/9/5.
The park is going to kick ass this year!

Yeah, they were able to get some snow down during the cold snap. But the next week looks like crap again.

Tonight again, but then more crappy weather on the way. And I've found that the lips, especially onto rail, have been really hard to keep nice when they blow on top of what is already down. We need some natural snow to blow on top of again...

Raceway is where a lot of the races are held. Ride the main street lift and make a right when you get off. If you want to watch the race make a left and take Come A Round half way down. The skiercross will not affect the park.

trevor was knocked out in the first round after a fall and miller only made it to the 2nd round... i think i made it the furthest out of all of us... Romano got 3rd in the 14-18 men...
i thought it was a pretty decent course that they had set up too

i took 3rd with my first run; me second run i got tossed all sorts of weird off one of the jumps and almost died. miller took second with a big true tail 9 for his first hit, and kev took first with a cork 9 up top and a blindside switchup over the rail transfer gap. it was a really fun course, nice day, and good competition. good job everybody who did skiercross!

Blue needs to change the park around or something and add some more stuff... its getting old... but still good.
