Went to Holly last night.

Cold as a bitch and insanely packed. I never want to go when there are that many kids again.

My gf had some little girl smash into her from behind and her prick dad didn't even say anything. She was out of control and her dad should have slowed her down.

Also had multiple out of control assholes going 100mph thru the slower runs like the yellow lift to the far right, people literally riding OVER my board, and little asshole kids continually running into my shit in the lift line.

Sorry for the rant but it was ridiculous.

Was at PK yesterday pretty fun though it was super windy. To those who ride pinery(or whatever the big jump line is called), what's up with the first jump? I couldn't find enough speed and knuckled twice. The 3 below are fine but I couldn't get across the first. After i fell i saw everybody else skipping it, and only a single skier did the jump but he carried speed from the higher up lift.

yea that first kicker was a lot bigger until that last rain we got killed it. you're right, dave and i were skipping it too because you can't clear the flat unless you come barreling in from above.

just got back from an awesum wknd at crystal mtn! damn that place is nice. had a sweet ass condo, outdoor hot tub, the whole works! gotta love northern michigan! conditions were pretty good although i didn't have many boxes to choose from. the had a line set up under their high-speed but they were a little too sketchy for me. nice boarder-X course set up in the back of the north face. lines were lengthy at times but not overly bad. bashed my knee on some ice off a kicker saturday night so my knees pretty swollen now. i hate to do it, but i think this upcoming week might be my mid-season rest and maintenance week! i think my bod wants a week off and my board alrady needs sum maintenance.
