after skiing today I am utterly fed up with Steven's outright refusal to build new park features or even reasonably maintain the stuff they already have built. They should be fucking embarrassed to even call that run filled with shit humps and lame cock rides a "terrain park". The park crew is filled with a bunch of hacks that don't do shit except get paid to ride their own shitty park.
Grant and I are going to WAR!
here's how you can help:
COMMENT CARDS
Every time your punk ass goes up and rides that bullshit, fill one of these out. The upper managment does in fact read these, so be articulate and be clear on what you want to see happen. You can find the commment cards in guest relations.
LETTERS
Send letters to
John Clifford
P.O. box 98
Skykomish, WA 98288
IN PERSON
John is an older gentleman with white hair, he is still however in pretty good shape. If you seen him on the weekend be very clear when you speak to him and tell him something specific that you want to see done. If you think the landing on the waterfall is unsafely flat, then tell him. If you think there needs to be an actual transition into the main cockride, then tell him.
Let's make some fucking change!

you cant hit it successfully. ive tried but the tranny is so bad. i think the tranny is about 40 degrees against the actual wall part. less in the middle, so its unhittable.

I agree with what Chris and Grant are saying. Its true. The park has been horrendous this year. If you arent there by 11am, all of the jumps and rails have huge ditches in the landings. The edges of the takeoffs go to shit even sooner. Its not just the amount of people riding the park however, I bet Snoqualmie gets more. Its the maintinence of the park. They have all the features to make it a great park, but they dont keep them in good enough shape. You cant just go out there and reform all the takeoffs and landings every night, you need to go out and work them during the day. So far, the only time i've seen park people in the park WORKING is when they've had to close features because they get so rutted they become dangerous.
I'm going to fill out comment cards this weekend. And while i know its not about who's better, Snoqualmie or Stevens, just think about this: Snoqualmies park crew transplanted on the Stevens Terrain park. I would definently ride the park then.

basically, stevens got dumped on. park should equal greatness very soon. so right now there is a buffer. if nothing happens though, the invasion begins... round 1 is over (for those who partook, and we certainly did) but round 2 begins if nothing is done...

we're currently holding back the assault to see how they react to the abundance of snow.
But if things continue to suck, we're sending in the ground troops.

ground attack will get you crushed by the cats! its all about the backup safety sniper chillin on top of the cock ride, just in case.

they opened the pipe
but rails remained buried, both on and off the runs
the top jumps are a bit bigger. waterfall is taller, with a tiny bit more pop, but a short deck

there are so few people at snoqualmie that ride pipe though, its quite unfortunate.....they all just hang out around the rails, then you try to stick em in a slopestyle or pipe comp and its horrid. at least thats what i've learned about the boarders, the skiiers may be different...

The average skiers at snoqualmie Aren't nearly as good in the air as they are on the metal, there are a few exceptions: reid, sam, myself and some other guys from back in the day.
I've never seen you jump John so I'm not really including you in this stereotype, so if you're a good jumper, no offense intended.
