Ski in with speed and you will be fine. Gloves get messed up if you get yanked from a dead stop. Sounds like a personal problem.

The parks themselves are alright, but the ropes actually do suck ass. Their park on the front of the hill every time I went had the worst quality rope ever.

I feel like if you just skate like 3 times from standstill it makes a massive difference

I have found it much safer to just walk up the side of the hill, its good cardio and towropes are scary!

The Little Jibber rope is painfully slow. You could probably hike uphill faster.

1. You have a rope tow
2. It runs

Lot to be appreciative of right there... just sayin.

Hot Take: This is not a hot take, Buck's ropes are very weird for the most part and not as easy to ride all day compared to other ropes in MN/WI
