So if you couldn't tell by my sig or just haven't bothered to read it, I'm attending URI next year. And Rhode Island being Rhode Island, there's only Yawgoo Valley within driving distance. Me being from Massachusetts have never been to Yawgoo. having said that, I've only heard terrible shit about it which kind of sucks cause I was looking forward to skiing during college and shit. The question here is, has anyone who skis or works there heard anything about a legitimate terrain park being built there any time soon? Also, If any NSers are going there next year and want a room mate I'm down cause I know absolutely no one going there sadly.

Good thing you're going to college so you can learn basic grammar!

Just make the drive to Wachuset, Yawgoo isnt worth it. Im going to URI next year also, and Im just going to take the extra time to drive to Wachuset rather than Yawgoo. Plus you can just urban the hell out of URI's campus.

Make it bigger than 10. A 10 foot rail isn't nearly as big as it sounds. Unless you're just starting to hit rails then it's all good.

I live in Warwick and i have a seasons pass to Mt. Snow/Stratton so i'm there pretty much every weekend/break i get, it's almost 3 hours but it's worth it. If you ever want to ride up shoot me a message!
