    Like most mountains, it gets better the lower down you go but up high and on the ridges? Not so much.

    This section I'm posting up photos of was my baby this summer. I got free reign to do what I wanted with it. It's a black diamond jump trail segment but it didn't have the pitch or terrain to do really big jumps (30-40 ft.) which was perfect for me. My cut off at 49 years old right now is about...

    Friggen fast Gorg. it's a step down to step up in a real steep and deep gully. The step up is 25 ft on the center ride line and 5 feet of up. You can send it deeper and to the right side for a touch more hip. Looking back up at the step down. And some NY pizza made by Aussies up in Nelson BC...

    Whoa. Killington sold.

    I think 7 Springs is a lot more than the skiing. I believe the hotels and indoor water park, tubing hill, mountain coaster, probably a zippy thing yada yada is all part of that package. I imagine that’s why it’s more expensive and might even be more profitable than Hunter.

    Big Tupper Thread

    How about a t bar? I really didn’t like what rope tows did to my gloves. It certainly seems like a surface lift would be easier to maintain, need less staffing to run and probably less to insure. A t bar and a brewery with good food just might make enough $. Maybe put a few cozy yurts up and...

    It looks like xc course design has progressed quite a bit. It should make for better spectating.

    Broken hands/fingers really hurt and it sucks. The last time I dislocated some fingers there were a bunch of tiny hair line fractures and it took a good year or so for some serious pain to finally subside. That was probably 10 years ago now and I’m still feeling that. I’m dialing everything...
