It's getting to that time of year again!  I guess post weather reports, openings, comp dates, premiers, your claims, pictures, edits or anything you want here.


To a good season here in Minnesota/Wisconsin/Iowa!

Thats a pretty average Full Day tickt price around here.  Wild Mountain is $41 too, Afton Alps is $41 as well.  So dont be complaining about the price.  You have to take into consideration that we are Fully open, as Wild is as well.

yeah just checked around some more and $41 seems to be the going rate...i guess i still cant get over the fact that places in the cities charge as much for season passes and almost as much for lift tickets as most places out west. somebody's making a killing. spirit seems to be the only place who realizes $400 for a season pass (at a place my taxes already pay) for basically for a rope tow is ridiculous.

i'll prob just go to hyland sat or sun until spirit has a little more open.

sorry for the rant, just been itching to get out more often and the wallet says otherwise.

Going to see if I can get any fresh snow.

There's a good 3 inches at my house, and Afton's only 10 minutes away.

Who all skis Afton?  I'm done with finals Thursday, got a pass for Afton/Mt. Kato.  Just was told my job no longer needs me to work for December-January so I am going to be out there quite often.

Kato has been really fun in the 3 days I have been there.  Some real cool guys out there.  Some racer kid sprayed 4-5 going mach 3 through about 10-15 kids.  I had a little fun calling him out/embarrassing him in front of his racer friends.

1.I hang out with very few kids from Osceola, and the ones I do hang out with are graduated from highschool, as am I.
2.It's my own personal choice, and yes I know it's bad for me, but then again, so is just about everything else in this world.
3.You have always been negative towards me, and I have no idea why.

Yes I do.  No, I don't think it makes me cool.  No, it will not make you cool.

It will be fixed this week.

I was saying that because it seems like there used to be tons of younger snowboarders there that were always gaping and smoking. I just thought it was weird that you added that part to your post. No negativity intended. And as far as my brother breaking the rope, Great going idiot!

I suppose its a good time to learn how to go upside down again.  Today could be painful.

Rope is open again.

What do you do when you're surface spinning? Keep both feet perfectly level or lift your outer leg slightly or what? Everytime I catch my outer leg. And this is on a pipe rail.

i can only surface sw up, im scared shitless to try a reg one.

i try and keep my feet super close together right before i get to 50-50 pick a foot to spin on. i slide left foot forward and lets say im doing a bs sw up. i barely have any pressure on my front foot and just spin solely on my back foot(right) until i come around enough to put a little more pressure on my uphill, now left foot. the hard part is staying on the rail w. one foot at sw 50-50.

i still don't have the balls to try it on anything more than crouch height

yea i kinda do that. but i guess i kind of do the swap fast so i dont catch the rail as easily. also i just snap my feet together for that instant im 50-50 and then once i get on the other side just get to a regular stance

It's possible, but not likely.

In response to Joshy G (don't wanna keep quote/replying to things from 5 days ago), Travis is not negative toward anybody unless you are a real idiot (or in this case, a snowboarder from Osceola) but even then he would keep it to himself. He's just not usually very outspoken. So I wouldn't worry about it. :)
