my comment had a hint of sarcasm, considering how epic yesterday sounded. Today was super sick, but it sounds like yesterday was hard to beat.

stuntzman's rock is the biggest cliff in the bowl, you can see it from the lift, which makes hitting it fun cuz people go nuts. when the snow is deep it's a huge drop. and the rock pocket is on the backside of andesite. anybody notice the clear cut of trees in the shape of a mushroom while you're driving up the mountain road? well the cliff band in that mushroom opening of tree's is the rock pocket.

flag me down sometime, ill take you there. endless pillow options.

^ well i'm pretty sure if we are talking about the same pillow field that you can alwasy see from the road and you drop off off that lone moose cat-track/run thing at the point where it turns and you have to hike back to lone moose from, we got freshies on that yesterday. me and two friends lapped it three times each and raped the fuck out of it so it coulndt have been that amazing afterwards...

naw, definitely not the same cliff's that you're thinking of off of lone moose.  and no, the ones in the rock pocket you don't have to hike to, but be careful if you're mobbing through the tree's cuz the cliff band comes up pretty quick once you break out of them.
