I think the total purse is half of the money generated from the entry fee...I think, there may be more.

oh word!! yeah I was wearing purple pants (I think) and moment skis.

Such a legit event, especially considering it was less than 5 minutes from my house!!

I can't believe more people don't session this place regularly seeing as how driving up i-70 is pure torture, especially on the weekends.

Yo dudes, a couple of us BroBombers swung through there with Andy and Garrett. We were all super impressed, you dudes slay and the setup is awesome. We hope to bring way more people thru during SIA next year. We shot some footage on our point and shoots, check out the edit we threw together.

I was there filming with the little point and shoot camera for brobomb and was insanely impressed by the skiers. Everyone there killed it. I really wish I brought my skis, but I didn't know Ruby Hill existed. Hopefully we can bring this idea to the east coast!

It's super fun!! Gets icy at night of course though. Most of the features are ride on, which isn't optimal, but it's still a good time and worth it for sure if you are near and don't want to drive to summit.

In sum, I recommend it to anyone in the area!!

Pretty sure it's the same set-up. Once or twice a week (on tuesdays I think for sure), they run over all of it with the cat and then till and smooth out to soften it up. If you catch it after one of those nights it's not too bad until it re-melts and freezes again.

Is anyone planning on bringing a rail or a PVC "rail"..... or anything to jib. The snow is going to be there for a while and it'd be nice to put it to use!

It's a liability issue, at least I was told. Ride on wide boxes lead to a lot less injuries. I don't know if there are stats to back that, but I'm sure it has some merit. They also want to make it as appealing to the public, including beginners, as possible. The project is in dire need of public support and financing and that comes with more people actually showing and interest. As I understand it, if that happened, they would be willing to expand and add a few more features.
