You already know the drill. If you don't, you will learn.

All of you midwest riders near and dear to my heart. Post what has- or is- going down!

Granite was absolutely amazing! 20 features definitely wasn't an understatement and they had one small, but nice jump. I got a couple of shots but my gopro died after the first few runs bc I was too lazy to charge it

Scissor me timbers. I did my first disaster 2 on a respectable rail yesterday and I peed myself a little on the first hit, thankfully it went best case scenario.

What were you wearing and what're your skis? I probably saw you. I was wearing the orange & gray coat (and so was another kid) with black snowpants, 2014 atomix punx, and occasionally a gray under armor sweatshirt

It is POURING rain here in central wisconsin. Thunderstorm and all. Would have been a solid foot or two of snow if it was colder. :(

Hate to make you mad but it's absolutely dumping in Duluth, probably 5-6" in the end, but it's raining within a mile of the lake (where most of the rails are). The best part is I get to go to Minneapolis in two days where there's no snow at all! Life is good but only for two days.

No worries, I'm stoked for you guys! Hopefully some of that can come our way, but it's looking like mid 40s through christmas:(

Stalled a fence and actually was wobblin for a decent bit, then hit a big ol steep dfd that I was pretty confident with but the flat had just a little bit more stick than I bargained for...
good news: I missed the stairs
bad news: I fell about 10ft to flat... not to my feet

All good, all good. The only painful slam I've had this season was getting impaled by the tip of le pencil at hyland. Managed to slip out and it left a mark on me!

Great day at troll last night with 1806 and dozer! Finally landed a few blind 2's off the log and got a semi clean one out of the fdf! Getting closer to clearing the quad kink, if I work at it I'll get it my next day there.

In other news my hip fucking hurts and is swollen, toats worth tho. Haha

Hit the ultra mega long rail in my neighborhood and got her 7th try. Felt amazing getting it that early after giving it over 100 tries two seasons ago. Today treated me right.

Did a few front swap pretz 4s for the first time in years and landed my first unnatty superfeds the other night. I might have to try rail tricks again more often.

Went to Mt. Lacrosse today for the first time. They had 2 rails and a box. The lip going up to the box was practically unhittable on skis because of how quick and how steep it goes but you could kinda hit it from the side. The other 2 rails were nice but the one was only like 8 feet.

How is Afton's terrain park right now? Any jumps?

Looking also for how it is in comparison to Troll. Troll's probably much better but I'm weighing it with a further drive.

Visiting family in Northwesteen MN and hit up Detroit Mountain. Their rope tow was down leaving me to use the chair. There were 2 lines for the chair, the one on the park side rarely had anyone in it, the other side had at least 80 people at a minimum (no lies). Some people yelled at me for budging when I used the lane on park side. Snow was rock hard and the park was pretty iffy but their tubes are the best sliding in the state!
