sounds goods
thinking holly better for all around ridding

What's the consensus for tomorrow? Who's going & where?

The Pinery is open at PK and they're listing 14 of 17 trails open. Mt Holly says they are 100% open but I find that hard to believe.

If the Pinery is open I'd just assume go to PK, I feel like taking laps in the park until I break some ribs anyways, it would be good to do that during the day when hopefully all the kids are still in school and I don't have to worry about getting upstaged by a random 8-year old.

who was this directed towards? lol

well, just got back from Holly so now my ribs are still sore but at least not much worse. i was prob only at 50-60% tonite cuz everytime i turned or spun sumone jabbed be in the side! it was def 100% open tonight altho the main run alongside the hi-speed was icy as hell. im sure becuz they took all the good snowguns and put em on the far end of the mtn to open that part up.

so what you all want to know-terrain park update:

flat down skinny box, up down wide rail, the same culvert features and a decent medium size kicker towards the bottom. got sum decent boardslides down on the skinny box. wasnt extremely packed, i think the extremely cold weathers keepin the wimps at home.

have fun tomorrow while the rest of us work or go to school!

Just made a DIY pole mount for GoPro HD Hero because I didn't want to shell out the $20 for a mount and try to find an old ski pole laying around.

What I came up with was to use the pole from an extendable push broom (minus the broom head) plus a lot of duct tape.
