well... you will probably give me shit but I race for St. Olaf College and we train there so they pay for my season pass. Nate Eigenfeld from A-Crew lives on my floor and he got me into freestyle so in my free time I ski in the park.  (I competed at the slope style comp at Hyland the 18th of december) Last night was my first time this year in Welch's park this year.  I had a red and brown jacket and red snowpants last night....

Welch has been pretty dope this year, I'm sure you'll have fun.

try this again,

So what happened to that run thats like the halfpipe sort of? Why is it not flat in the middle? I used to love goin down that one but now its got those ice mounds and its just not as fun as it used to be. Did the snow they make just melt and then freeze into ice so they couldnt move it or what?

They did the mounds thing on the bunny hill and nanny's two years ago and people liked it. I guess they stuck with it for a percentage of people who need to jump off mounds because they can't handle the park. I'm not totally sure of the motives, I don't work there, but I bet it has something to do wit not wanting to maintain a pipe made of ice too.

Welch is going to be super sick this weekend so if you can battle the cold weather you all should make it.  We have quite a large selection of rails to hit on the hill, not really any jumps, but our rails are good.  COME OUT!!  Alex and I will be raking the parking all day saturday and sunday so you know it will be perfect.
