2nd year shredding the can. The park is going to be dope this year, all return cat drivers! plus dukey killls it at making new jibs. As for the smoke shacks theres 1 off dream catcher, 1 off devils friend, 1 above painted horse jib park, and 1 more off tombstone somewhere. Probably a few more i dont even know about, it is utahs biggest resort(acreage wise).

Powder Mountain is by far my favorite resort in Utah. There is no one ever there. You can ski powder days after the storm and the terrain is so dope. Back to the topic I shall be there tomorrow.

which kinda sucked... pissed the down rail was gone, and that split level box was silly... i couldnt figure out what to do with it... i tried to nose press the little one and got fucked... i figured it out though... you gotta take off on the smaller one and gap to the higher one... gotta have some speed for that though but its not too hard
