Forsure Blue. Tali's park groomers are lazy dumbasses. Blue cuts there pipe pretty much every night, Tali cuts there pipe about once a week.
Blue groomers and changes there jumps often, Tali deosn't. But when you get Tali on a good park day its really good, but overall Blue has a better park. Later.

mike you can't tell which park will be better this year since no one is open and there's no snow. derek maybe we'd have a sick pipe if we had a proper dragon

Tali's park would be good if the groomers actually did there job properly, instead of getting drunk and driving the groomers randomly through the park

I thought they were expanding their park and Snowboard Canada is loaning them some new rails. Plus the new 10 min. course is gonna keep a ton of 2 yearolds and jump wreckers out of the park.

no any age. You just have to take a short class that's only about 10 minutes long.

ummm I think they have them a few times a day. But once you get it you get a special pass or something that says you've taken the course.

blue's park was shitty last year...but that's kuz the park tech's were all lazy asses (k maybe 2 of them earned their pay cheques, but most were asses) this year it will b way better though. the video/presentation will b up 2 30minutes in length, then they give u a pass that will let u into the main park at blue, badlands. u only need 2 watch the video once and have the pass on u when u want in. they did this kuz it saves them lots in insuurance, but they used the savings to spring for flip coverage!! that's right flips at blue.

blue's park was pretty good last year except that it was cramped too close together. but there was enough run in to all the jumps even on skiboards. neil lyons, a skiboarder from mississauga ON that won the 99 X - Games was throwin corked 7's and rodeos left right and centre

Tali is less busy than Blue.

But last year, I liked Blue's park better. They had more rails and stuff. And they let skiers into their pipe.

But I don't know what either hill will be like this year.

yea blues park kicks Talismans ass.

but Talisman isn't good cuz their park is good - they have one of the best scenes in ontario - as far as the riders aditudes go. every one is laid back and cool with what ever you do. You don't have snowboarders yelling at you for anything... and noone gives you aditude or anything like that. not like at blue where the snowboarders and the skiers hate each other - for no aparent reason.... and the park techs are very lazy at blue - except when you do something they don't like - then they are there in a second to kick you out.... it is pretty crapy. It might be better this year though seeing as we will be able to invert...

Blue's snowboarders need a serious attitude ajustment.

You still get yelled at. It's really weird.

Oh well, hopefully we can show them what's up this year.

yeah, the blue snowboarders aren't really nice to most of the skiers.
I was riding through the pipe and some guy from the chairlift yelled out, 'skiers don't belong in the pipe'.
Very next run, Mr. Doug Bishop proceeds to boost out a good 5-6 feet more than most of the snowboarders were, looking very handsome in the air as usual.

Ya, I find that on a weekday the attitude in Blue's park is pretty good. But on the weekend when it gets busy ya get
snowboarders yelling shit off the chair at skiers, but most of the time if you watch the people who are giving you attitude, they fuckin' suck.
Anyway. Later.

Ya, there are these two guys at my school who are a grade younger than me who always try to hastle me because I ski...and they only get about a foot or two out of the pipe and just do grabs off the small jumps, it's just damn funny. Doug knows who I'm talking about.

Ya, there's this kid on my bus who is always, always bragging about how he can get 6 ft of air in the pipe when really he cant get above the lip.
And this other dumbshit on my bus told me he was sponsored by Ride Snowboards, I'm just like 'sure you are buddy'. They always ride at Tali.
Oh yeah, they think Dave's the shit. There always like 'you know that Dave guy, he's fuckin awesome.' Its pretty funny. Later.

I dunno I don't think Dave is the best jibber at talisman, by far Barry must be the best.
I'm sure dave will agree with me

I think he learned to ski on pre metal edged skis.
There's alot of talk about who started up Newschool, but in my opinion Barry was one of the first person to do extreme skiing such as big mountain
