so building jumps is equivalent to being a park rat?

Eric Pollard builds back country jumps and i wouldnt exactly call him a park rat

And i only hit jumps at Tucks when its the end of the day and I have already hiked 4 runs

the only thing that could mess this up is the rain/mix that is going on up there right now. could be bulletproof ice by the time i get up there.

For anyone considering heading soon, conditions still look nice. Here's a TR from another site.

Highly doubt that. I was at the loaf for closing day (May 14th I think?) and there wasn't a whole lot up there even then.

thats probably not a good thing. Start your hike at like 8 and then just roast up on the ravine till like 4 and ur hikes wont be as bad. Also stick ur head in the river on the second bridge. That feels amazinggg

hahah yea me and my boarder friend put our head in the water. its so cold for like a second but sooooo nice.... we only stayed up on the ravine for like 2 hours so we didnt rest to much. we also had to be down by 4 30 so we could be back to our condo in time haha so we were a little rushed

next time im gunna just get up early and chill take a few runs eat a ton of sandwiches and then head down around 4 like you said
