They're all being told to tear down anything manmade this week for liability. That means all park features. They probably don't want this to happen as much as you do, but trying to hike shit while their up there with snowcats is putting yourself at risk and making this already shitty unfun and time consuming task more annoying

Wait a week until their done before building booters and jibs and shit and for the love of fuck if you drag rails out put them back when your done so they don't get in trouble with management and everything has to get chained to trees next spring (home mountain actually did this one year)

kthnx
-anyone working parks right now

Agreed although mt snow used to be pretty down with people setting up rails in the pipe and inferno at the end of the season.

Thank you, this is so perfect. Nothing worse than getting hate for something that is not your decision, and you are being forced to do. I was just made to wreck my booter line, but I managed to keep those rail take offs up. They should last a couple weeks. Those knuckles are prime for some quick jump building too, we still have so much snow. And yes, if ever you see a cat on the hill, get the hell off property. The last thing I ever want is to have some kid ski under my 12 tonne tracked machine without me noticing until a huge red spot comes out. It would wreck someones life to kill someone like that even though it was not their fault. Cats are no joke. On the rare time I actually am out under operation, people think it is a great idea to get as close as possible and get a good look. Stay away, that stuff makes me so nervous.

Post Script. Get outside and enjoy ski hills with some hike laps and buddies, outside and away from sick people is your best bet. If you have a ski hill to yourself, have some healthy fun. But if anyone ever tells you to leave respect that they have to tell you. They do not necessarily want to.

pinkcamo1000What are you guys doing with that half built banked slalom course?

Think the plan was to cut down any sheer drops and leave the rest be, should be there till July along with the dropline jump landings.

Nows the time to build shit where you normally couldn’t during operating hours
