We do try to mix things up--we've had some down bars this year, and now we have some up bars. Firth and Ped will be in the cat this week with DJ, so you'll see some new stuff and new designs.

The Donkey got hit by a tiller, and consequently the very top of it is jagged, sharp, and gaping. I put a grooming request in for them to move it tonight; should be a simple weld and fix.

sweet! /\

all of you pre-teens need to stop hating.  Terrain parks change over time, and features break down over time.  I'm confident that if TPC had the budget and the space they would build an amazing park.  Yet, they have made a killer park on a limited budget and on top of a stretch of the mountain that doesn't go down consistently.

All of the square tubing is gone. It was used in the construction of the Disco box. When we reorder for next year, I'll do my best to make sure it's all round tubing, because I'm sick of it too.

If anyone wants there to be a slopestyle comp this year email stevens at customerservice@stevenspass.com and ask them to put up a comp this year so that there is more of a chance to have one.

Haha where have you been for the last 3 years?

They've had Hoedown Throwdown, which is in fact a slopestyle comp. And i am also fairly confident that its on the calendar for this year again....so ya.

Not really. If there's no money, there's no money. That simple.

I'm trying to put something together. Not a slopestyle, but if it works out, it will be fun.

Just throwin it out there....A couple seasons ago they had a jam format big air for a $5 buy in. Grant won. It was fun and informal. I'm sure you are looking for something more but its an idea for season end stuff.

Apparently someone died yesterday, http://www.kirotv.com/news/27339604/detail.html

prayers for him, his friends, and family.

Please stay safe out there. This warming trend is going to wreck havoc with the stability.

The Hoedown was their event :(

But I figure if we can email them and get a ton of people to persuade the terrain park to do it, that'd be great. Anyone down for brainstorming more ideas with me, i'm down. Most of us are up there enough to spend a weekend trying to figure something out for the end of this season.


And totally heartbreaking about the death. RIP and my heart goes out to their family and friends.

Like I said, I'm working on something. I'd give more details, but the issue is that if I start with details, you people get your hopes up.

And just so we're clear: Marketing runs all events at the hill. We help out when we're needed (contests, etc.), but the organizing and paying for is all done through Marketing.

Here's the story from someone over on snowboard seattle.
so tragic.

http://www.snowboardseattle.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7607

"I and two other friends were with the victim when it all happened. Here's the "td;dr" version for those of you who don't want to surf over to the full thread on EL:

We were coming down the last pitch into Tunnel Creek in the late afternoon. A small, wet slide carried the victim into the trees to the left of the clearing underneath the power lines which provide the best exit option from the upper bowl. He was only partially buried and had an air pocket underneath his face and nothing obstructing his airway. We extracted him and began CPR w/in 5 minutes. It was evident he sustained significant impact trauma from the trees the slide carried him through. He was not wearing a helmet and his head was significantly bruised an bleeding. We did CPR until patrol arrived on the scene, which was a shocking 90 minutes later. He was pronounced dead shortly after that and the recovery effort began in earnest. The patrollers bringing the toboggan in triggered a second wet slide above us and I along with the two patrollers who were first on the scene were partially buried. Another group member who was not caught in the 2nd slide dug us out but my board and one of the female patroller's skis had gone missing. An hour passed and we finally got the toboggan down to the victim. As we were losing light, the patrollers split up to get us out of there. Having no other means of conveyance down, I rode the victim's board to the logging road. By the time we reached the logging road below which takes you back to the highway, it was pitch black. Another patroller following us found my board (but not the missing ski) and I swapped with that and carried the victim's board out. With only a handful of headlamps we began the long skate/walk out. We reached the highway about 5 hours after the accident occurred. There the sheriff, forest service ranger and head patroller took statements and contact info from us then let us go home. We didn't get home until after midnight and none of us got much sleep.

I appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Please continue to think and pray for our friend's family. He died doing what he loved and all indications point to a quick and painless passing."
