Make sure it never goes to the East coast, thats all that matters, moving it there would be like moving a car race to a parking lot.

Thats an awfully closed minded thing to say...

I mean its just a terrain park. Why does it matter east and west?

You don't need a big mountain to build a sick park. Matter of fact, many of the East coast parks are WAY better than west coast ones, because we have nothing else to do.

doug this question is kinda directed towards you, but will the setup even change if skiing mag is still the main sponsor? like are they having the same course designers or is it going to be the same designer, because i dont really think that the venue is what makes the course, its the people who are designing it. if its the same designer it will just be moving a shitty course a half hour away

I pray to god for perfect weather or there will be a ton of knuckling. At gravity it seemed that even the best guys had some trouble clearing the jumps.
BISHOP HAS SOME GOOD POINTS THANKS FOR SETTING THE RECORD STRAIT.
