So sunday i was at my little hill (valley) in michigan. When i got there i was told that the whole us snowboarding team and simon dumont where there to train for pipe. This resort (otsego) happens to have a perfect 22 foot pipe and a quarter pipe to air bag. After a few warm up runs simon started trowing switch dub cork 10's into the air bag. He was surprisingly nice and after talking to him for a while he said he was going to try to pull one out at x games.

SO stoked to see this thrown in a pipe....

and yes i know, cool starry bra

also skiing isn't that big, of course it is to us, and i care a lot more about pro skiers then most celebrities, but in general if simon goes to some random store, people won't really recognize him and all.  I think it keeps skiers out of the hype that makes other celebs dicks

simon dumont is still an incredible skier, no matter what the rebellious 15 year olds say.

I'm surprised no one has asked this before but...

what in the hell are they doing in Michigan? I mean, I know you said they have a 22 foot pipe, but lots of places have 22 footers now....and a lot of them aren't in Michigan!

1) We have insanely short lift lines.
2) You can hot lap all day and learn as many trick as you desire.
3) Same equipment is used the cut the pipe that they use in X and Olympics.
4) No one in Michigan skis pipe so there's no waiting.

I mean i know a lot of Places may have 22's but this one is perfect. +planet snow are actually the people making it not the resort. And also because they have the air bag that is great and open to the public. Also super short lifts=lots of laps and there are never lines. The whole us snowboarding team was there to but they were mostly douches.
