I was there once. klaym.

Powder ridge has a tabletop that nobody has hit, the approach was a near-perfect quarterpipe, followed by 35-40 feet of flat hard death, and then a super steep, 15 foot long landing (horizontal measurement... pry 10 feet). it sucks. here let me draw it for you with text:   

)TTTTT\

That is almost an exact side view. I impress myself. plus the whole thing is like 8 feet wide, the entire length of it. they might cut it down and make some rollers though so i dunno

had fun at Sunburst today. Is it just me or could they make the setup soooo much better.  It looked like they had tons of good rails down by the shed but they decide to put up a bunch of 6ft long boxes and mini rails 3" of the ground. The down and the down flat rails were good though.

just got done skiing granite tonight. so many good rails, except there was way too many gapers cutting people in the park, there was a lot of ruts, and it was very icy. other than that, it was really fun!

Once again elm creek has proved itself to me to be the best rail skiing in the metro area, at the cheapest price

just as you think hyland is getting better, they blow it. pencil gone, red rail gone, small park kicker is basically an aerials jump w a flat landing, mailbox gone, dfd gone and that perfectly set up up/down gone.

the new way they set up the burrito could've been cool but they failed. the black cannon tube is set up pretty cool but that thing is so weird to slide. flat down looks fun but like usual the lip is 18" wide, too small and 2 ft from the rail. the new "flat/down" box is pretty nice though.

heading to granite peak saturday, place looks so legit.

as far as i'm concerned, granite peak is on the same level as keystone and breck, just much smaller. everyone should try and get out there if possible.

I agree completely on the hyland setup post^. spirit last weekend was good, still don't think the jumps are built as well this year, rails have made a strong improvement, though. Almost got my 3's wooo

I drove all the way home from hyland on 494 with my cell phone sitting on the back of my car. EricaMN is a witness.

mont du lac is by far the most fun place i've ridden this year, besides maybe troll and thats because they are very similar. such a fun setup, i had shiftied k-feds all night on friday.

now i'm off to spirit to go sweat my ass off and jump over shit.

went and played 2.5 rounds of disc golf shirtless in 60 degrees and sun, got a nice sunburn on back and chest. It was excellent. Now time to go do some more putting practice.
