Are most pipes pretty much made out of ice? I rode killington's today for the first time, and it was apparently cut yesterday or the day before, but the walls were completely ice. Doesnt seem to make much sense, its probably different out west but just wondering what all your pipies are made of.

I ski Killington

College passes are awesome
 
east coast pipes are always terrible, they are either frozen solid for weeks straight, then on a nice day the tranny washes out. out west the pipe gets cut when its firm than softens during the day again. i just get pist that every pipe we have only gets sun on one side.

I went off the jump thinking, I'am the jump...but i still narfed it. rv
 
A lot of the pipes on the west coast will have a sunny side and an icy side. The sunny gets beaten up really quick by people hacking it up halfway up the wall, trust me the icy side stays nicer for way longer

^agreed last year at keystone one side of the pipe was ice and i hated it so just did stright airs pretty much but on the softer sunny side its fun to try shit.

pipe is icy by nature. you just have to get used to it. i think of it as extra incentive to land. the blackcomb pipe is east/west facing so there is a tendency for only the right wall to get sun soft in the spring.
