JohnThatWasTitsY would you be grounded


I just turned 17 and my mom is super over protective she said "there is no way I'd let you take a 4 hour drive by your self end of story"

But This would be worth it because there is no snow coming here for a while...

The problem is I'm trying to scrap money together to get enough gas

Went to Devils head last night. It was good. Park is tiny right now. Drove a total of six hours to ski three. It was worth it.

I'll be at Granite tomorrow for the fucking 12-hour marathon. I'll be first and last chair of the day if you guys want to take some runs. Black 4bi9 hoodie and Kartel 98's.

I've never been this stoked for three runs! Finally time to rip!

The mountains could possibly open next week the 14th-19th for me


That would be pretty cool if Wilmot, Alpine, and Raging Buffalo could pull that off...


If that doesn't happen I don't know how much longer I can wait...

Go to tyrol or devils head, it'd be worth the drive. If you are close to wilmot its probably a 2 hour drive which isn't bad.

Currently raining and 42 right now near Minneapolis. Still open for the week hopefully. Not seeing good temps until January unfortunately. Over 10 degrees warmer this year than on an average year.

I just heard that Granite is going to try to stay open through the warm weather. Only one jump in the park, but I was sending it huge off of a cat track on sugar maple. Pretty fun right now

I'll be up again tomorrow night if anybody wants to ski the same run 40 times.

This weather sucks.. I've skied twice but its hard to make the 3.5 hour trip to troll every weekend. If only my home hill took initiative and made as much snow as they could when it was cold enough. Troll is the best.
