i don't think anyone anywhere listens to things like this, unless they're a pussy and they use said rule as an excuse for why their penis is too small to do flips.

have you skied blue? it's generally a 50/50 shot of whether you stomp it and ride away unscathed, or stomp it and get escorted off the mountain with your pass in ski patrol's possession. if you don't land it, you can usually just tell them you suck and you messed up and didn't mean to go upside down.

Went to shred Blue and rode with Justo and my crew.  Definately a sick park and tons of fun.  The airbag is the best learning experience ever, even though the air bag manager is a tool.

It's funny to hear different stories about the invert policies of other mountains. Our insurance states that in order to prohibit inverts we would have to patrol the policy at ALL times in ALL areas of the mountain. Meaning if one jump wasn't being watched, the whole "no inverts" policy would be null and void as a defense to a law suit or anything like that. Therefore, we say "inverted maneuvers are not recommended".

I wish all mountains would take your view on that policy
