Anybody on here from around here? I feel alone because there is absolutely no one here that skis..  So if you live anywhere near Fargo, Moorhead, Detroit Lakes, or Fergus Falls I wanna know that you're here! And if no one lives around here then just let this thread die if need be. I just hate not having any skiers nearby

Yeah it's pretty small. The only people that ski there are kids on school trips and snowboarders from Alexandria. If OP, me, or my friend aren't there then there are probably no park skiers there.

This is why I don't like living around here..there's no skiers to chill with unless I go up to Bemidji

I hope one day when Detroit Mountain opens up there will be more skiers around here

I really want to this year. If I do we should shred together.


I was planning on taking a trip there last season, but plans changed when I totaled my car

Yeah I think so, I'm stoked! Apparently they have a lot of money so hopefully their park is decent. Let me know when you're gonna be there and we can shred

I was looking on a trail map they had and it looks like there will be two parks. Should be fun!

There's a good possibility I'll be living in Moorhead for college this winter and DM is much closer than Andes. So I may just end up getting a pass to go to DM. I can't imagine their park being worse than Andes.

Sick!!! Dude I'm pumped! You would be so close! We would have to hit up Buena Vista sometime too, I could get you a really good discount

What college are you looking at in Moorhead?

That's such a good route to go on at least get generals done. And that will be PSEO for you right? Saving money!

I went to MState in fergus and loved it.

Do you by chance drive a dark green or black jeep covered in ski stickers?

I live right across 12th from NDSU.

Will probably be hitting up DL this winter but they doubled their college rate pass and I'm taking 18 credits next semester so I may only go a couple times.

Yeah I always have fridays off so hopefully I get a few days in.

I guess one more question, do you live in those green and yellow apartments south of the soccer fields? There's a skier there that I don't know, at least there was last year.

If you see a saturn vue with bike and ski rack on top it's me. Also I don't go to NDSU, I'm MSUM.

I'm only around for a little bit for Christmas break but I grew up in fargo. Detroit mountain set up a pretty nice park last year and I think they are supposed to open the park up this weekend. I'm going to try to get up there either this weekend or early next week.
