yup yup. i grew up ridin mills. i have ridden trails 2 years now exclusively, and i think if you ask anyone, i went from being pretty sub par (MAYBE a 540, rails etc etc) to, not to sound cocky, pretty damn decent. we always have shit set up good, so even bigger features are hittable. that was the most imediate thing i noticed when i started ridin there. and, trails always has at least some features hittable by begginers (still fun for the advanced riders), al the way up to big big stuff.
and yes, i too have written long, (3 pages) tedious essays and explanations to them, with exactly the same answer (were trying! or were working on it!). they truely, do not care wtf you think of the place. they pretty much catter to ski schools, and the sub par parks are to make them happy.
any yes, they do have some sick rails, and definatly the potential to build a killer killer park, but i wouldnt get my hopes up. they are jsut lame. mad river, well. dont even get me started on the potential that place has.
