    Tree Well Burial Vid

    Might be a repost but worth checking out if you haven't seen it before. Tree well took out a seasoned oldschooler at Crystal last year. Keep it in mind when firing up the goods that La Nina may deliver over the remainder of the season...

    The Original Shake-n-Bake (1977)

    Ricky Bobbgy? Nope - Phil Sifferman. World Frestyle Championships. Snowbird, 1977. Maybe someone who is better at Teh Interwebs can embed the video and make life easier for everyone.

    Whistler WSSF Big Air...Cancelled.

    Big-air contest right at the base of Blackcomb, in the heart of the village. Big kicker, big crowds, live-music, dueling DJ's, dual fire-balls in the gap...usually the primo event at the 10 day party that closes out the winter season up there. It's the single biggest draw of the 10 day...

    Loon Mountain Sold!!!

    I'm not going to post my e-mail or the response, but I wrote to Boyne and asked them specifically whether or not there would be any changes in the size or character of the parks at Loon in response to the Salvini lawsuit. The person who responded confirmed that there were no plans to change the...

    Next year's ski passes

    Threedom Pass for Loon/Waterville/Cranmore nearly doubled versus last years rates. Barely worth the price at $350 last year, shocking at $600-650.

    Old People Freeskiing...

    I'm 33 and still trying to learn new stuff in the park. I can't honestly say that it's any harder for older people to keep hitting the park and learning new tricks. Anyone who claims that "it's easier for young people" is just making excuses and failing to credit the enthusiasm, determination...

    This blows

    So is this unusual for the East Coast? I've already served 18 months worth of a 3 year sentence back here, then it's back to the PNW for good. Crystal, Stevens, Baker, Whistler, 6000 vertical foot runs down Mt. St Helens in April, Muir Snowfield in May and June, Palmer glacier even later if...

    CO or Utah

    Utah. The quality of the terrain and the consistency of the snowpack crush Colorado. Quite a bit of Colorado skiing is horrendously flat, and if the late-fall/early winter storms fail to materialize, you are likely to be looking at a wretched snowpack until the storms roll back over the state in...

    Summer Rail CHEAP as hell

    Anyone ever try using plastic lumber for rails? The last time I was at Home Depot I saw 2" by 6" by 18' plastic lumber that looked like it would work pretty well. Might be a bit soft, which could pose a problem for catching edges I suppose. I also so 2"x6"xwhatever PVC planks used for fencing...

    USSA CARD?

    If it's your first time paying the USSA dues you can get a "Rookie" membership for $50. Look on the USSA freestyle application.

    Ramp camps at placid, anyone know a website???

    Plug "Freestyle America" into Google for the deets. You need to supply your own equipment, and fork over $ for a USSA membership to hit the ramps.

    Why are so many of my fellow east coasters retarded. (rant)

    Whatever. The snow, the terrain, and the weather suck massive dick out here compared to anyplace with real mountains. Terrain parks are the only thing that make the fact that I'm stuck out here for two more seasons tolerable, but just barely. This is like listening to someone who grew up...
