drove by it this morning on my way to work.

IT IS HUGE.  Three droppins, 2 of them are over one story tall.  The big drop is over 2 stories tall.  Tons of snow.  A little jump(they werent sure if they were going to keep it or not).  Bunch of jibs. Should be ill.

it was pretty fun, setup could have been better though

Sullivan got first, dan zook got second, and Kale cimperman(me) got third, wallisch's parents thought i should have won though.. hahah
