I just heard from the rail builder at Steamboat that there will be 14 new rails and they all will be pretty big, and the ones from last year will be up too. They are also throwing in a new sound system and are expanding all across the bowl on the one side of the park. So sick!

Holla back at me....gina gmeiner

it might be just me.. but does anyone think that how the park was set up last year was better. aka super kicker on the left, the threee hits in the middle, and everything else to the left. i mean, this years could be sweet, no doubt, but i liked last year's set up more.

i think that this years setup is ok, it has potential to be good... but after going to the YGO, man those jumps were sweet, and the big jumps there looked so big compared to our big booter. Don't worry tom, zack, and daniel, u guys do a sweet job up there, I just think that they need to move the park to a different location, and keep all of u guys, then we would have a rockin park.

But yeah, I think that this years setup is better than last years, just that a little space needs to be filled still.

yea spendin the past days n such down here in summit has revamped my motivation to make boat that much better. all our rails are insanely low to the ground, most of our jumps are slackin, and uh yea...thats about it. the gully area really does need some more stuff but we need more snow there first for any of that to happen.

It REALLY doesnt help me when I have people submitting complaints to my fuckin boss aka roger about us "refusing to rake the gutters in the pipe" when that same fuckin day, I took about 20 slip runs slipping it out, but the bitch had already left before I had it buffed out. I really don't appreciate shit like that because when they say shit like "it just seems like they want to ski instead of doing their job"....that shit REALLY pisses me off.

i will probably be up there a few nights and probably some early mornings this week once im back into work to get new and better jumps built and dialed.

^that sucks that people are making complaints. trust me, I have put in good words about you park staff members working your asses off. I've known Roger for a LONG time (his son and I were in the same graduating class), so if you guys take heat, let me know, and I'll make sure that he gets the good side of things from me.

On the other hand, i have great news that I have to share with my fellow boat jibbers....I just got an invite to X Games women's pipe, so I am SO stoked. I will leave this thursday to go train in Copper, Breck, Vail and Snowmass, and then hit the Open, then to X Games. Think good thoughts for me (or say prayers!) and come watch if you're down there. Yay!

well, there we go. I'm in 'boat right now on vacation, and be there till, hm, monday. I'll be in red/brown jacket and stickered helmet. if you're feeling particularly generous you could help a poor midwestern kid out with his skills.

christ, your kickers out here are bigger than our hills.

and, heh, muha pretty sure I saw you today ... that orange suit is dope

so uh yea jensen......are you not going to the open by any chance? :P I apparently need to find someone to cover for me for this sunday and then probably next friday and saturday......jeff is being a royal fuckstick and not letting me have ANY days off which is fuckin retarded. I am applyin to breck tomorrow, so i will see what they say, but comps weigh ALOT more than stupid ass steamboat, so if I cant get these days off, I am done with boat park crew. I am sick of being treated like trash and not getting any slack.

i don't drive a cat dumbass. if you wanna go build a 10 foot high jump, 30 feet wide, and a 50 foot tranny with a shovel be my guest otherwise don't make dumbass comments like that. i think everyone in the steamboat park crew is sick of this shit.

dude, they need to put a park on thunderhead or something, so it is not so limited to the little basher bowl. Then the park could be really dope. But for the little space you guys got, it is a pretty fun park to play in.

Can't wait to get back on the big line when my feet heal up.

The park is great right now.

I just got health insurance so I am letting my self go back in and it is really fun.


That step up is addicting, best thing to happen to the park since the super pipe. Switch tele landings are fun to.

back it the FUCK up. the new "snow platform" is fuckin insane. crazy shit. busted out the pizza on the picnic table today, but unfortunatelyt i couldnt fcind a way to disguise a tallboy beer as a soda, so not too much drunkenness but i was still wasted from last night. jeff was "sick" today so no prob, it was a nice chill day, hopefuly he is out tomorrow as well so i can do w hatever, but if not, just wait for thursday next week, and it will be fuckin epic i swear. table, umbrella, and pizza, oh yea and beer, wooohooo. good shit. fyi, even tho gary would probably be pissed about this, steamboats sickest park happens when the park crew is primarily skiers, teehee. anyway, back to some beers. you all have fun with our park, it is some sick shit, good stuff
