better than anything you've had. I think I figured this brewing thing out. Notice how you haven't gotten anything in a while.

To be honest though the next week looks pretty shitty for snow making. I wish this snow cross event was another weekend.

I went to Buck yesterday and it was alright, they need to learn how to build lips. Setup wasn't bad otherwise.

well 2D, but the box says it has "3D effects", and it does. Like that scratchy stuff that change when you look at it from different angles, regardless, it was difficult.

I enjoyed the first day of hyland by standing around and complaining that the rope wasn't open and that it was a Friday morning so all children should have been in school and not at the hill bothering us old people.

Hyland was fun yesterday. The rain in the morning scared everyone of so you could lap the chair pretty easy and it never really got rutted out.

I walked through community park today and I gotta say I am disappointed. there has been snow on the ground for about 24 hours now and there have been no attempts to move picnic tables or set up the handrails there. I did however notice that the down rail at the top and the two or three stair down rail have some gnarly weld beads on them. That shit would wreck skis. be careful out there folks.

anyway who is going to spirit tomorrow? I get done with class at noon so after class I'm headed out.

Spirit opener! Definitely had way more fun just riding than hitting any of the shitty rails they had set up.

trollhaugen was great! they had their whole park open with about 12 rails set up and a couple jumps.the only bad part was nobody maintained the park, there was a lot of ruts in the landings as well as in the kickers. 9/10 people were snowboarders, there was only 3 other skiers though... where were you guys???

yo, sorry i wasnt there to maintain, i had other business to attend to, where i couldnt work. but I usually keep a pretty good control over the park and maintaining, by myself basically. and yeah, theres only about 5 skiers that actually ride troll. and i like it way more like that, i would rather ride with snowboarders.

ohh and paulwall, i strongly dislike you. and fuck wild mountain, and their park. you guys are not hosting the xgames or anything... right? and i bet there are numerous other people out there that will agree with me on that one. sorry i have to maintain a whole park basically by myself at troll. I am glad i am black listed from wild mountain for life. none of you will ever see me there ever again. fuck it.

let the beef begin... once again. flame on.
dont care at all about grammer right now, /END RANT.

Bummer Summer... Sorry you feel this way, and clearly so strongly indicated by your poor choice of language.

I think it's unfortunate that you are the only one that cares about Trollhaugen's park, but you don't have to apologize to me, it's okay. Perhaps you should look into recruiting some people that care.

I don't know what you mean by Wild Mountain hosting the X-games... that would be silly considering Aspen is a way better location.

And a Wild Mountain Black-List eh? That's a bummer too, hopefully I'm not on that list.

I don't have any beef, with anyone really in fact. I'm just out skiing to have a good time and clear my mind.

Hope things turn up for you, Josh, I think that's your name.

...and I don't think "Cody Thornburg" has a Facebook, so why post hate on the inter-web? That sounds a little excessive.


Choose Joy.
