hi everyone,

hope you all r enjoyin the winter that has set in to the maritimes. life is full of question marks and i have one that i must express. over the last many days with strong amounts of snow in the city me and my faithful group of jib friends have pouched the city and created features of all shapes and sizes.

On top of the city features i helped out with creating the funniest day to date at a ski hill new years eve, where ross peters, thor durning, chuck arhibald matt ferg-dog and I headed up producing a great street style jib and 20ft wedge jump where we all watched ross throw a styled cork 7 and foster with a steeezie zero.

Along with this I have finished putting together a small jib in my yard with a great tranny to land on. it took me 1.5 hrs of true hard work. my cell rang and i answered to speak with my best friend who spent the day at Martock. he expressed how he couldnt believe the lack of snow made and horrible condition. i asked (anxiously) if they set any rail or box yet. he told me they pretty much carried the flat box over and dropped it on the bunny hill with no set up and no tranny.

i sit here and type in confussion about how a group of local city jibbers can accomplish so much with 20cms of wind blown smow and broken shovels or a small group of dedicated freeskiers at ski wentworth who can co-operate with the ski patrol to piece together a great one two minipark in 2 hrs, yet a ski hill that sits 35 minutes form 430 000 people cannot even set a fun box properly???

should one of the local hills not model themselves after a blue mtn or mt. saviour?? i know the hills have many different types of skiers to catar too, yet dont freekskiers in our area deserve more?

i hope we all enjoy the ski season as much as me and my clan of friends do, and i hope no one else worries about the state of our freeksi scene as much as I do, but personally, i expect better in a place that should see a future in us.

Wow, that sounds fucking rediculous. They had more than that setup last year at opening, ski hills aren't supposed to move backwards. On new years eve I was also very busy setting up some jibs. We started with a completely flat lawn:

Oh yeah, check my profile for more pictures (and a video) of the jibs. There's a sick photo matt took of Ross throwing a cork 7 in there too. Nice new years eve.

Yah martock has been so lazy, it took them all day to get that box 'set up' and i mean come on i could have done it in 10min but yah i think there too into trying to get teh whole hill open before they even think about a park

 
The rail isn't for sale, there was a post on here a while ago about people making rails for sale. Message alex, 's5'.

Just curious, how much are you looking to spend though?

Martock caters to the Christmas present skiier who skiis at 2mph and needs a freeway not to hit anybody...there are more bomboo poles on the hill than snow, Wentworth lost there snowmaking for 2 of the coldest days of the year over xmas and are still waaaaaaay beyond Martock in snow coverage, yet Martock supposedly has the best snowmaking??? In 2 days at WW I've skiied knee-thigh deep powder in places in the trees, help build a fun little park along with the boys.....I've never done that at Martock..... Martock needs to get shit going, right now there main draw for me is a Mountain Burger & Fries for $6.25 and a pitcher of Keiths........with all that said Martock needs to relize the fastest growing ski population is freeskiers, who cares if they have 1 1/3 run open (1/3rd????? sounds like fun)how much room does it take to set up a nice little jib properly....Like JJ said if 5 guys at Wentworth can make a decent sized booter and a nice rail setup with a couple snow mounds shovels and one scoop why can't Martock set up rail, hey they can even call it 1/16th of a run if they want......

 
hey boys, get yer asses up to Poley Mountain, this Saturday, January 8th,2005, for the first Rail Jam of the season. New rails including the crazy 34 foot flat down rail we just got....come check it out....we've also had a fun box, and rainbow rail set up for the last three weeks and are working on getting the park in full operations asa jesus p... cold temps this week, mean we'll be making snow all week in the park...See you boys at Poley on the weekend...the best apres ski spot to be...

 
i must say that i to am confused as to how a bunch of randoms can create some simple yet fun features and the ski hills cannot. all that it took was a little cooperation with the patrolers and some shovels.for some reason the hills think that it is complicated to set up tables and rails but it cant be to complicated if three of four retards can set up numerous succesfull jibbs around the city with 2 sometimes three shovels and ussualy next to no snow.

Yea, its pretty sad at times, the patrollers are anal and the management is too afraid of the big bad insurance wolf to decide on shit like freeskiing. If I could afford the time, gas and extra skrill it would take to voyage up to wentworth, I would be there for sure. Still martock is 40 mins from halifax and 100 bucks to ski for a full year is pretty good. I guess you get what you pay for.
