I hope not. I hope it closes so all you people bitching about everything have to go somewhere else. Nothings worse than negative image at our mountain and thats coming from me and I'm pretty bitchy.

ahhh but billy it looks way cooler that way.

but on another note, on saturday there was up hill winds and shitty snow and all three jumps were hitable. granted you couldnt stop from the top of the park.

How about you wax, your skis, stop blaming external factors, and just clear the jumps.

Honestly, I've been happy with the way that the park has been going.  David, Greg, DJ and the rest of the park crew have done a good job with an area of the mountain that has a weird, inconsistent slope.  Add to that the wacky snowfall/rainfall and I'm not surprised that the park is becoming difficult to maintain/handle.  Stevens is not a park resort and won't be for some time (if ever).  There are things I'd like changed, and improvements I would like to be made, but complaining on NS will get nothing done.  If you really want to see things improve try talking to Greg/David like adults and explain what you'd like to see changed/improved and offer any insights into how to make it happen.

Line sucks because their bases are super fucking slow. and riley if Lauren can get speed you should be able to.

i'm on walls because evo made me get new skis and so i mounted my fks on them, so ima ride them to try em out.

AND LET THE PARK BE OPEN TOMORROW DAVID PLEASE

why are you worried about the park being open? I would be more worried about the highway being open.

Your writing ability is worse then your ability to clear jumps.

It is closed because there is 15 ft of snow on parts of the road. That 15 ft is heavy snow too.

Despite what ski companies want you to believe, your base material isn't going to have as big an impact as your technique. Tucking alone won't give you enough speed. Other things like weight distribution, pop, aerodynamics, etc. all matter more. I mean, I can clear them pretty easily, and I'm not exactly a big guy. And I consider myself to be a pretty shitty park skier...

What was your question? Factions break fast and have bad base and edges. Liberty has quality skis and materals. Dose that answer it?

Seeing as the road won't even be open until 2pm, the park itself definitely won't be open.

I'm bummed too, but if we can't even get to the hill, we can't make anything happen. Additionally, we have no idea what this 4" of rain has done to the setups. So that will probably take more time to fix.

You continue to amaze me with your ability to exclude incredibly important pieces of punctuation, and seemingly create new grammar rules out of no where.
