theabortionatorSkiing and snowboarding kinda hashed out the beef over the years, skiing progressed a ton. Especially 2005-2010. You had to snowboard to ride park at one point. I mean some parks were legit snowboard only, but I mean skiing wasn't that accepted. That's why this place was born. You saw people with twin tips and it was a novelty almost.

I remember sneaking laps in the snowboard park on my early 90s, hand-me-down, directional Bizzard's that were way too long for me. There was one other skier with OG 1080's, but I was young and shy and definitely didn't think I was cool enough to ski with him.



Everyone at our little, prairie hill snowboarded, they were all super chill. Fun times.

pretty sure i was 14, got separated from my group in the park. went to the very far side of the knuckle of the only kicker set up at the time. I was a solid 30ft away from any takeoff/landing zone. literally nobody around (50ish people on the mtn), certainly nobody hitting the jump. some male karen snowboarder rides past me and screams at me to get off the knuckle because i'm in the way. this wasn't even a jump where you could gap to the side of the landing. it would take a moron of cataclysmic proportions to get close hitting me.
