        So I just looked at the forecast for Taylors Falls and it showed that starting tomorrow it will get down below freezing for the next six nights and i was wondering since Wild usually starts blowing right when it gets below freezing do you think it's possible for them to open within the next couple weeks?

My lake had ice on it, and my yard had frost. Which means Wild should have been blowing. Especially this weekend.

P.S. - I'm not pissed or trying to be a jerk, I just think you guys are being cocks for hatin' so much when this is all we got here right now. So either get a better attitude or keep your mouth shut. If you don't like the way shit is set up on the hill, tell someone on park crew and they will either change it then, or the next day. Some things you kids don't understand is that pre-season set ups on the bunny hill are kinda "first come, first serve" if you want something set up a certain way, get off your ass and do it. Also understand that resources this time of the year are limited. (i.e. - snow!)

i dont think he understands the epicness of a shotgun to rail transfer....that is all

if we could get a nice kink box/rail in it would be perfect

also is it like last year setup or 2 years ago where we were hiking?

Haha your always try to start shit with me..  I dont hate wild, they open first every year and almost every time I go there I almost always have fun.  I was way close to buying a pass there this year, I was kinda dissapointed that I didnt for a while but now not so much, dont expect me back at wild that much again this year.  I was just saying that I heard the set up and it didnt sound like it was going to happen or gonna be fun at all being you guys dont have that much snow and able to make much more due to the shitty weather.  and It sorta did sound like I was bashing Wild and the riders there... So, Sorry if I affended you.  And I have helped multiple nights/days at Wild this year, I have been helping out the Wild Park crew trying to get things set up nice so everybody can have fun.
