yea boulder already has one.

csu had a freestyle board team, but this is supposed to be the first year they have a freestyle ski team.

im telling you, it's gonna be a waste of money, if they mention copper or winter park at all when talking about training, you need to runs away as fast as you can.

Whats wrong with a CSU freestyle team? Their ski/snowboard club did alright I think. I was a member back in the day, and while I never really did anything with them I think they had a strong turnout.

stop hating ryan haa

but i have no idea how much it will cost.. when i find out, i'll post it in the thread.

and i doubt it will be just winterpark and copper, and if it is..then lame. cause im just getting the 5 mountain pass

ski discounts may be involved too.....

you get some ok discounts at local stores from snowriders, but it's full of gapers, last year i asked if anyone wanted to carpool to the level 1 and rage premiers in boulder, and no one had heard of either...that was the last meeting i went to.

you can take Zephyr up from winter parks base and go down Outhouse to get to the base of Mary Jane. or go up Mary Janes 6 chair at its base and take Mary Jane Trail to Winter Park. there pretty much right next to eachother.

DING DING DING! That's the answer I was looking for!

I went to Mary Jane for my first day this season, and I thought I was going to die going through the bumps.

I know, it sucks. But I have to say that the ones at Mary Jane are crazy scary.

Ryan does, and my girlfriend does.  If they made a team there it would be 99% gapers.

i go to csu, i'll be a junior next year. like everyone else said...i doubt there will be a freestyle ski team next year, the closest you'll come to it is snowriders. what dorm are you in?

I go to CSU. I was in Newsom last year but this year I'll be in a condo. Did anybody do that rail jam in the spring? I wanted to do it, but had to leave right when it started for Silverthorne so I could ski the next day.

I think there were a total of 6 skiers that entered. I can't remember exactly. Ryan won it though. Lots of swag.

Yeah, especially for my first day back on snow in over a year - it was really a bad scene. I didn't eat it too bad, but after that my feelings toward moguls were loathing. Then on my very last day of skiing this season I was drug willingly through powder covered moguls at Keystone, which I may say was alright with me - quite enjoyable in fact.


Sorry. That was a bit of a derailment.

nah, we were talking about the csu ski scene, which is basically talking about nothing. consider it more of a re-railment.

Well, Ft. Collins is definitely a cute town with a great college, but it's just kind of far from everything. Boulder is great all around, but it's definitely more expensive.

and yes, i won the rail jam, it was alright, though i didn't really have to push it to win since russ got robbed and didn't make it to the finals.
