Yeah, those people weren't that great. But... Tyrol did put it in a terrible location. The hill is only like 250-300 feet tall and they put it way off to the side where you can't get any speed or carry speed so that had something to do with it I'm guessing. I wish I could have been there Saturday for it. They are reopening on 4/20 for a spring jam with all their left over snow so maybe they'll have it set up again and I'll give it a try.

seems like a really shitty set up pond skim, it was like a drop into the pond, meaning you'd have to be going super fast to float it

This! That seems like the perfect time to learn new tricks/flips, if you have the gear to spare

They should make one with two ponds with one higher then the other and put and own urban box on it. Would be dope
