Since Joe Pope left Gd everyone is worried about what is going to happen to the terrain parks. A very talented skier chris crawford is now heading up the parks with JP both have worked extensively with pope and are comitted to making the park as dope as possible! So lets STOP THE HATE and leave feedback about the park and ideas to help those guys out!!!!!! thanks all ideas are greatly open!

haha better not be bashin' the owners daughter bitches! GD is sweet and shitty at the same time. As is Big Sky.

Spark notes: I love skiing, therefore I love Big Sky and GD. Yay!

adsreine im not hating on great divide cause it sucks its just all these kids in here say it kills bigsky. the last weekend was a llittle disapointing. i think its sweet how cheap the tickets are and how the family works there. its just all these other douches in here hating on bigssky when it is better.

no hate towards your family i wish mine ran a ski resort

had too put in my two cents on teh subject but case closed on bigsky and gd! there both great!.
anyways.

soo u guys think no park this weekend? not even a couple hits? they mashed some things together the weakend they were supposedly going to close and it was kinda fun..  it would be sweat if they posted up atleast a few rails that would be sick. if not its gonna be able to sit on a lift in may.

hahaha ya true.. i think a couple rails set up would be soo sick... since last time it was all jumps built last minute.. figure a few rails last minute would be alot easier to set up. hopefully they get alot of snow through the week too that would be really cool.
haha then the next closing weakend they can set up like a full park or something haha
no but really a few rails and a jump or two would be soo sick.. time to cross the fingers and hope

i doubt they set anything up. but i also doubt they took any of the jumps down from the season, so we'll see how much the stuff melted. i bet there might be a few small ones, hopefully
