DUDES ITS TRAINING SEASON, if your at Tyrol at all from now on you can only be training...no skiing for fun...who skis for fun anymore anyways?

...no but in all seriousness I cant wait for this, should be a really good time, stoked to ride with people from alllll over the midwest!
 
they blew a SHITLOAD of snow over the past week and they were pushin it around with the snowcats today gettin the course ready....gonna be fun!
 
alright dude i'll be there tomorrow so i'll see what new stuff is set up, cause i think what is set up now will probably be the course

i heard a rumor going around that there's only gonna be one jump in the course so we'll see tomorrow
 
hibbs and I are going to drive up thursday night and try to find some floor space in willie and dutchers rooms...if anyone else is going to be there thursday night let me know
 
okay so i heard from a park crew member today that they're making a separate run for the competition but that would include blowing a ton of snow which they haven't done yet so i really have no idea what's going on, also that park crew member is kind of an idiot haha, so i think he's wrong
buuuut if the comp takes place on the new run they set up things are NOT looking very good...i know, not what you wanted to hear, but there is a two jump line that was hardly clear-able today. 1st jump is kind of poppy but like 10-15 feet long, the second one is maybe 25 feet with the flatest lip ever...on a good note the rail section at the bottom is sick
again i'm not really sure what's going on, but tyrol better pull some shit together...if in the next few days things aren't looking any better us locals will definitely talk with the park crew/manager and try and get a sick run
 
They have that giant Gatorade barrel at the bottom of B for the comp, so I'm sure they'll change it up so they can put that in. Hopefully they'll change some stuff up towards the top. They have the High Rail set out, so it'd be cool if that went up.

The Up-Down is shit, and the flat down is whatevs. And the 25 footer is complete shit.
 
well just redoing the lip would make a 25'er pretty dope...i know we were all hoping for something along the lines of a 30 to a 50 for jump line but whateves still should be fun
 
^^yeah I saw that Gatorade jug yesterday too. so legit, it'll be interesting to see what they do with that. I like how Tyrol is gettin hit with these sick features from different companies....first Red Bull box, now this
 
i might have to come out and see my peeps killing it. knee isnt to good for jumping yet which sucks so no competing for me
 
is there any schedule of events out? I know its saturday and sunday. I can only make it sunday wanna know if its worth the 2 hour plus drive there.
 
Just got this in an email...
