The special event waiver should be on the site (www.oshawaskiclub.com)....if its not, I'll get it up in the next day or so...

There will be a few new things this year in the park, but I have not figured it all out yet.
There will not be any HUGH additions, but I plan on adding some more 10" wide box rails.....think general lee wide...

So far, for sunday, we will have the 16' jib box, the half round flat rail (it was out for last year, its orange) and a flat rail or two....

BUT....be aware...since the temps have been so high....our available snow may be severly limited this year....I can't make promises, but we will do our best.

Helmets mandatory, waivers to sign (under 18 needs a parent sig.) NO CHARGE.....

Come on out and have some fun.....

Well guys..things arn;t looking good....I did a drive around to the "snow suppliers" and things look GRIM.....

I MAY be cancelling....it costs a fair amount of money to truck snow in....and if we have to send trucks all over the place just to get a half truck load.....I'm pulling the plug...normally, we can get 3-4 truck loads from one spot....and I was there today....there is only about a half truck load....

I don't know what else to tell ya...mother nature is NOT helping me here....

Sorry dude...no arena would scrape "10 loads" in one day...we have only ever gotten 5 loads...going to 3 arenas...when the weather was COLD....

and I can't wait until the last minute....wish I could, but this isn't a backyard set up...we run a business...and it takes staff, prep work  trucking costs and alot more that most would never think of....sorry guys....

I think I've called it......I toured all the "snow suppliers" in the arena...there is not enough to do this right....we can't run stetchy events...I won't do anything we can't do right...and unfortunitely...there is not enough snow to do this right...

I'm as disappointed as you all will be....

Safe call though mark.

No use in doing it half assed and having people complain about waiting forever for one rail and sketch set ups.


Any plans for another date or is it it open house day or bust?
