i was up today and the park was redone. well the jumps were reshaped cause of the rain. the 40 footer went down to a 15-20 footer and the smaller on is maybe a 10 footer. the rails are all very woobly cause there isnt much snow around them. them jumps themselves were nice other than the fact that they were soooo small. By sunday the park should be decent again. there is talk of the 45 footer comming back and maybe a hip (concept311)?

yeah everything was smaller. was really surprissed with the snow they had. I thought there would have been a lot more dirt spots. I got there around 1ish the snow was nice then but it got really shitty really fast once it got dark out. Then got stuck doing a damn snowboard lesson:(

Someone that was grooming fucked the small side of the jump when they where grooming it they put a big feaster (HOLE) in the landing. the big side was nice though I thought.

you said that 15fit isnt big, and i replied that it isnt big, i never implied that it was big, i simply said that the jump was nice, and if you landed donw on the landing like me and a snowboarder that i was with, it is actually like 25-30 feet.

I was at alpine Valley saturday they had everything groomed which normal on a wisconsin powder people would hate but. Since it was groomed it made the snow they had just that much better wasn't ice at all really. I really like Alpine Valley Even there park Flowed so nicely jumps where small but fun and the rails where in perfect spots unlike Wilmot which needs a lot of work. Will have to get on barb abou that.

Shit I might have to Jump Ship and work at Alpine Next winter its just as far of a Drive from racine as Wilmot.
