Yeah I know. A few times I wanted to hit the kickers at both parks and I chose not to b/c the landings were ice.

I have a feeling this season is going to be radical...

that would be how i got my concussion....hit the bottom, middle kicker at wintergreen on a sunny 30 degree day, the fake snow was melting and icing over...i had alot of speed and caught an edge on a chunk of ice coming around on a backside 360 and got straight ruined

Ouch! I saw a few times, kids layed out on the landing with Ski Patrol assissting. That also sketched me out a little bit. Im buying a helmet this season.... old men like myself cant afford to be out. haha.

Good investment. I definitely feel for ya, Thats something I hope I never have to experience. A friend of mine hit a patch of ice 2 seasons ago and fell on his wrist... its still messed up to this day.
