I am going to do a 2.2 hour drive to wait in a 30 minute line to climb some scafolding to hit a box about 6 or 7 times depending on the length of the line... This is cool!

yeah, i forgot to add the 2.2 hour drive back home. thats like 4.4 hours on the road for 6 or 7 hits on a box. add it together with the wait time of 30 minutes for each run and you get more than an hour of waiting for each run... plus it's sketchy...

The rail jam will be back at the shop like it was 2 years ago.

Last year some slut from the msu ski and snowboard club was in charge of the rail jam and she didn't get shit done so at the last minute they took my rail.  This year there's a new guy in charge and he's pretty on top of things.  He's been working his ass off to make this rail jam a lot better than last years.  Most of the ski sponsors aren't confermed yet.  As for the box, I don't have any pics yet but I'll try to get some.  I don't know if you remember the box from 2 years ago, but it's pretty much that box with an extra flat added to the end. Don't let last year's flop discourage you from coming this year.
