Nah. I think that was near the end if a ling work week so if I still looked human and spoke somewhat coherent english that's about all you get.

But I'm a grave cat guy here. I've done a little sporking to set features but pretty much just brapp around at night with bad music and push snow.

I was just hanging out by the jumps trying to see how they were hitting. Getting a few laps through before going back to bed.

I try and leave those guys minimal hand work.

Kind if a full 180 from being on the hand crrw side and getting minimal cat work. Whatever I'm pretty mean with a rake and shovel from it, even though i don't do much of that these days.

Word yeah. We usually only rake the jumps for a mid day and salt.

Stoked to have some sunshine for this last big week. Spring laps are the best laps.

Glad you made it up. Im gonna try to add another bowl sevtion if i have time tonoght. Last night was my monday and mad stuff needed revuilds. Got the jump line riding sweet again though. 2 and 3 were a little off especially yesterday. But today it flowed really nice. Hoping we get a good trail for next year snd can realy expand.

They're down for expanding the park but were having some issues getting a good trail. I'm hoping for top to bottom quicksilver wide at the top and the have akiers right at the bottom. No merges, no sketchy woods trails.

Also actually trying ro get a stash style park going too which seems pretty likely just maybe not for next year.

Well be doing a decent size rail/box build mostly beginner stuff that we really need. Also some more interesting medium features and maybe a bigger feature or two.

But yeah would like to have a better jumpline for next year and do something like that quick park but twice as big. Management really digs it and its had good feedback from families and actual park riders.

I think this year went well so hopefully we keep improving.

Hopefully next year everything will be in a better line where you can hit the jump line, some rails, some weird features like quick all in a run. But tow ropes are always dope

I guess well see what happens next season.
