So last year I heard that they were going to open a public rail park in Denver. I have been trying to look up information for it, but I cannot find anything.

Anyone know if it is going down this year?

Haha, it's called Ruby Hill and they scrapped it for last year for economic reasons. Looks like it's coming back this season though. It's a lot of fun.

its a lot of fun. lets just hope we get enough snow and cold temps this year for it to open. and hopefully they just don't setup up down boxes like normal. we need some variety

Yea... I kinda expect some easy stuff but hopefully there will be enough so I can stay fresh when I am not in the mountains.

The year I skied there there was a down box, a flat butter box, a down rail and a flat rail. i think there was some other stuff too but i don't remember.

it's awesome though because they have it open at night.

Yeah dude Ruby Hill.  It won't open 'til late Jan or so but it's a pretty good time to mess around there with some friends if you can't get up to the mountains.  Nothing really big there... but still fun.

i have had a whataburger, no wild boar though. its mostly just the people i don't like. the hot weather and bad location just add to it though.

hot weather is the reason im never moving back, but it was a sick place to grow up honestly. the people suck WHEN theyre in colorado, but back at home theyre the shit. they are fucking annoying in CO though, even some of my closest friends...especially the really obnoxious rich ones.

it has its moments though, which is why i usually go back for a month in the summer, but that's about all i can handle.

i don't expect the mexicans to tip much and they're not annoying at all. can't really speak for people from long island though.
