What's up y'all.

Know some of you hounds saw the original thread and, if you are anything like me, were rock hard at the thought of building a kicker/stunt track but too broke to get to bozeman. I wanted to post this thread to see if anyone wanted to get together to do something similar in the Denver/Summit area. I'm game anytime this weekend - the last skiable snow and have a car & a nice camera set-up. I'm also a shoveling machine.

Let's hear it if any homies want in or also would love to hear spot recommendations.

I was just fucking with you, but also there's no snow in Denver, it was 80 degrees a couple days ago lol. If you want to build a pump track I'd recommend loveland pass. there will be snow up there till mid June/July

I think he's just talking about building a backcountry booter somewhere in CO. Also the other thread sucked without mentioning any location in the title. I guess better than other because it mentioned it in the thread.

But why would you expect people on a nagional/worldwide scale to know what about some niche jump spot at a specific mtn.

OPs just trying to catch some air.

Regionals are dead. The BZN folk (hopefully) knew what he was talking about.

Yo, I built the start of a jump on Berthod pass earlier this season. The spot can go off on a sunny day. Last I checked there was still a few feet up there and it’s level enough to be out of avi danger. Past that I’d recommend getting some turns on st. Mary’s glacier. Colorado represent 🤙🏻

Oi! I'm up in Wyo but if anyone wants to make something happen on Cameron Pass sometime in the next week or two I'm happy to make the trip down (after that the Beartooth pilgrimage begins.)

If you bring a shovel you’re allowed to build up any feature you want, and I’m thinking about the lower one in the woods below the shack, I know the top one usually isn’t popping off till late summer
