yeah, i know.  It's because of the exams that Im skiing though, since I came up to see my sister and help her drive our car back to atlanta, Im up in MI, but she's studying so I get to ski.  It works out cause North Carolina is shitty and warm right now. 

If you end up skiing when you have a break in exams, let me know.

Came back today and Pine knob's park was pretty sick...

they have all 3 parks open with small tables in each of them and a lot of rails/boxes with good setups.

no.  North Carolina gets more snow each year than s. mi.  It's really high and we have decent verticles(1200ft).  one mountain has a SICK park, prob better than anything in se michigan.  check it

Wait pine knob got a new park?? wheres it at? i didnt think we had any room left there?
Alpine valley in MI used to be pretty cool. The park at least. But then they took out our only big jump cuz a kid died on it and put rails down the middle of the pipe. Gayest idea ever!! It was actually a decent pipe.

Knob's new park is off to the way right by Hamburger Mansion. The jumps last night were so small I wouldn't exactly call them jumps but humps and there were a few rails set up I think. They did add a whole new are with this new park an Knob though.
