Hey this is a message for kids that have been accepted/ applied to the University of Vermont....

Did you know that UVM has a Freestyle Ski Team???
We are a team of about 40 skiers that ride at Stowe and compete in slopestyle, halfpipe, and rail jam events. We have 2 vans that go to the mountain each day, we cover your competition entry fees AND you even get 1 GYM CREDIT!

So, you interested? Wanna learn more? We'd love to meet and ski with you when you visit campus. Email us at freeski@uvm.edu

personally I hate stowe's park and I always have. I don't really know why, maybe its the non-lappability, the hurricane winds, the shitty lips and zero- flow or maybe its just an unexplainable bad vibe i get. But you guys do kill it there, so keep it up. The only time I have enjoyed it was when I got to go up with Kurt for the last trick jam and direct shit around with the cat. Stowe's legit on pow days.. thats about it. just my opinion..


sugarbush has some real dope features, i didnt go until late this year and i regret not riding there all the time.

now that we'll have our house and dub HD filming setups, its gona be all about urban... definitely my favorite thing in skiing right now, just posting up on a nice quad kink or dfd with everything setup perfectly. customized skiing

yea i agree that Stowe puts the biggest fucking lips on their jumps. Even the North Slope jumps were scary as shit for me because I thought i was gonna eat shit onto my back.

they are all really poppy, but i got used to them and personally would rather hit a lippier jump (given the landing is groomed accordingly and is steeper, unfortunately stowe does not do this). i cant hit jumps without lip and spin since i dont feel that 'apex' in the air when i spin

ah yes this certain 'apex' is key when spotting the landing for a solid prison shower bang.

and I am really interested to see this 617 movie. when you kids releasing that?

sorry for the double post. dont be nervous. youre entering a class of 2000+ and many people are in the same boat as you. you will meet alot of cool and friendly people, and then a handful of people who are weird or suck to be around. you will have fun. orientation is a lot of fun. if you go in with an open mind and attitude and are willing to be outgoing and meet people then you will have fun and enjoy UVM.

yea i am not used to lippy jumps, but i saw tons of kids throwing down.  It was just scary as shit hitting that first jump in tyro my first time because it felt like I was going up a quarter pipe. Jump was sick though, never got the chance to spin it because I was on a school trip and we had to leave early to get back to CT.

and then you also meet some people who came from their mothers wombs at 5'8" with a man beard. i generally advise avoiding such people.

but in all seriousness kid, don't worry about it. the majority of that have replied to this will have houses next year. just pm us and we will hook ya up with some parties and such.

 and candy and puppies.....

yea i thought flow wasn't bad at all. a bunch of decent sized features into smaller jumps or pipe with rails after it. not bad for northern vermont.

to bad there was a massive river under tyro and they had to plow it, cuz the landings kept caving in

I like ShredMC

FST is pretty sweet too though. actually, everyone that rides stowe, for the most part, is legit.

i'm gonna miss riding there
