When I'm checking out the pics and vids, I am always amazed by some of the great features that the smaller local hills are putting out. I feel like a lot of the fabricators for the big areas have lost their creativity. It's like, "I know, let's make another flat down flat, but make it bigger. Won't that be sick"! The local hills have smaller resources, but they are doing more with less. The first thing I think of when I see a lot of posted pics, is that thing looks fun as shit. Then I head up to Vail and it's kind of a let down.
Not trying to sound like an ungrateful whiner. I'm hoping that some of you will figure out who your local frabicators and park guys are and buy them a beer or at least tell them you are stoked about what they are doing.
