So in the new freeskier park guide, there is just striaght up lies being published, "Jumps are everywhere this season - all different sizes and styles, and the park crew renews takeoffs upwards of 5 times a day

"

i fucked the quote...

"Between Buttermilk and Snowmass, there are over 100 features spread over six parks and four pipes on the 2 mountains. 'The largest jumps are between 65 and 70 feet.' says park manager Greg Boyd."

Yea, that combined with the first half of the quote up on my frist reply is a straight up lie. I ski Snowmass and Buttermilk daily. As of yesterday, Snowmass had 7 rails and 2 jumps... 1 is 15 feet and one is 25... combined they dont meet mr. boyd's minimum size. Before X games, there was 12 rails and 1 jump that was 35 on Buttermilk... Dont get me wrong, I am not trying to bitch about my park, its a lot sicker than a lot of places, but it is no where near the caliber of the other top 10 parks... this is for everybody else out there thinking that Aspen is the shit due to this article, your wrong... vail, breck, copper and keystone are pretty sick this year tho

Dont be dissin Greg Boyd, you should be lucky to have such a dedicated park manager. He turned your shit hole of resorts into park haven about 5 years ago. Trust me if you dont appreciate the work greg does, im sure the boys back at Blackcomb would love to have him back...quit your bitching, if you dont like it, leave. Its just that easy.

That's pretty crappy, in INDIANA we have 4 jumps, the biggest is about 45. And for rails we have a 30ft flat, FD box, C, 48ft S, and an awesome staircase box. And we havn't had snow in about a month in a half.

take him back, the park has gotten worse every year, 2 years ago it was amazing, 1 year ago it was alright, we had a 55 footer that was fun and a lot of rails, and now its just horrible... and you got me wrong, i am not complaining, i am saying freeskier and aspen are lying and thats not chill...
