my buddy went up there yesterday for employee orientation and he said they have absolutely no snow. 5 days from now? ima say there's not enough snow to open a jib park let alone set one up.

may be the lack of sleep kicking in but I can't tell if this is full blown sarcasm lacking a e-sarcasm meter or for real...

I just can't believe they're not claiming a 300cm base yet. The fact that they have no snow hasn't stopped them in the past.

You sure it wasn't december 15th? There is no way they could have expected to open up before Whistler...

yeah seriously. i think they tend to confuse snow depth with total cumalative snowfall. that and they push it all in a pile to measure it haha

i shook my magic 8 ball and it said "outlook not so good". then i checked the weather network. i think my 8 ball and the weather network are in cahoots.

Are you actually serious? Did you fail that section called "critical thinking" on the standardized test they gave everyone in high school?
I know i said I wouldn't rip on you anymore but this is ridiculous. If you had half a brain you'd realise that Andrew was not serious at all. Pictures of Showcase Showdown? And Lost? And James?

Shit's wack sonn.

HAHAHAHAH

you sir, take shit waaay to seriously

this why I hate talking on the interawebs
sarcasm doesn't come through to the other side

I mean if theres one guy claiming there was a huge jib session going down there has to be one guy to take it seriously

take a joke man, and hopefully you're not sucha huge dick head once you get to ski

But it's just not the same when he doesn't have to roll kids for the money. You're taking away half his fun.
