are so much fun. Don't mean to sound like a newb but its my first season / time being here, and its been a blast. high no where, headwall glades, spellbound, phoenix bowl, the edge, staircase.......just been having a blast. If you havent been here, its definitely worth checkin out.

yeah dude that shit is so awesome, I'm missing it pretty bad right now. Teo bowl to spellbound glades/high life to the edge through slot rocks and staircase is my favorite run ever.  soo many places to scare the shit out of yourself or die. 

you're not the skier on park crew are you?

uh, Silverton?

I was at CB middle of January and neither of the T-Bars were even open yet because of low snow. CB is not much fun without the Extremes for sure. They were a raging good time 2 years ago when they had record snowfall though.

yes the extremes are so intense and the best part is that you can hit the extremes and the park in the same run

That's literally right out of the gate on Spellbound Bowl. They are just taking it from the top in pretty unreal conditions. I think. I was there two weeks ago and that's my guess.
