Went to Jay Peak today. It was pretty sick. They had knee deep powder in the woods. A lot of the trails had wicked moguls. Overall I had a real good time.

changed my mind, i'll be at big boulder tomorrow. they've only got one rail open at belleayre and BB offers easy boxes for me to learn on as i'm fresh to jibbing. when i called belleayre they said they had one jump set up, but i have a feeling it's just a kicker the local riders set up, not much more than what they had on the sides of the trail @ bb.

well, i hope you have a speedy recovery. i'm really waiting for mt. creek to open. now that i'm getting more into freestyle i'm excited they're converting two peaks into entire parks. the freerider in me will probably still drag me to random places in upstate NY... who knows, the season's barely started. w00t!

Mt. Snow was pretty sick on Saturday, had a nice base done 2 of 3 top to bottoms were groomed, one that wasn't was a diamond on the Northface that had some pretty nice bumps and some man-made powder stashes if you took the right line. They were blowing snow all day and that mixed with flurries made the trails real nice to cruise on. Beginer jib park was open as well as their new park but you had to take a shuttle over to it and since I am not about to get nasty in the terrain park I didn't bother but stock to the baby boxes and rails set up in the beginner park. Overall I'll give it a B+ for good snow and being open this early! Only negative was they were blowing snow all day so you would get hit in the face with hard crystals if you got too close to snow fans... didn't bother me though, just made it feel like it was actually snowing!
