I'm sorry, this is probably a very innapropriate reaction, but that's the funniest thing I've ever scene. I just hope no one was actually hurt...

fuck you i love that hill, perfect north is the shit, they do such a good job keeping their park in order, its like the 12th day we have had like an average of 50 degrees (f) outside and the park today was fantastic.

no one was hurt, it happened at like 3 am at night, so no one was on the hill to get hurt. the lift tower was knocked back pretty far, and that lift was shut down for a while while it was re-cemented and whatnot.

you guys are pricks. it's not that funny, and that hill definately doesn't suck. Perfect North Slopes is one of the best hills in the midwest on a few different levels. It's like world known for snowmaking... it's what needs to happen when you get about 20 inches of snowfall all winter. It's badass, and after a ton of rain, tall grass, and warm temps, this happened. They fixed it within a couple days, and it's good as new. I love this place. AND our park is amazing.
