Thats fuckin nuts, but if your switchups are really solid it makes a minimal amount of sense, but its still fuckin nuts

Whatever it is its coming down solid. I think the best word is shit, it basically sucks. Its like horizontal sleet, windy as fuck, ice all over, jesus it blows. One weather asshole even said 10-12" by the end of the weekend, which could still happen but its gonna be sitting on ice.

We are in a bit of a lapse right now, but it looks like its going to hit again, and supposedly continue to do so. Should be a good week regardless.

Thats fucked up, cause we got rain. First the snow overnight, then rain turned it to an ice layer, now we have well over a foot of snow. My dads a dumbass he put the escalade in the ditch trying to get the mail, guess who ran down the driveway, now guess who gets to dig it out. Fuckin right.

Was that you guys who built the booter on duds? I saw someone throw a backflip off that.

Today was pretty sweet though, other than the part where I jumped out of my binding while i was 180'ing to switch. Spent a good 10 minutes under that back lift making sure I didn't break anything on the binding.

I thin there should be a sign by that bell for the 80, so hopefully a few less little pricks ring it. Last time I was out there on a weekend I swear to god I yelled fuck you at at least 5 gapers doing that, most of which had goggle gaps wider than their skis.

I agree. It's just annoying when people ring it constantly.

Is anyone gonna be up there tomorrow night? I'll probably be there for a while. I'll be in a black coat, gray pants, black encore helmet.

I dont really care as much if people ring it, I guess if they were in the park using the stuff, fine, but when I'm in a bad mood and then these gapers come through the park just to ring that bell, well, fuck is about the only thing that does the job. I guess your right tho, everybody should be able to have fun.

...On their respective hills?
