Probably heading to creek Friday. If anyone goes today or tomorrow and can report back on the conditions, it would be very much appreciated.

Mountain Creek was my home mountain for decades... I even went there when it was called Vernon Valley (or some shit like that).

I finally grew tired of the endless beginners clogging up the mountain. I thought a dedicated South would fix it, but thats still clogged up with beginners. The just love sitting in the middle of runs or bottom of jumps.

Now I go to Hunter. If you stick to the Hunter West black diamonds, its totally empty including the new high speed quad which is deserted. Its worth the extra hour drive for me.

i was up at creek yesterday, conditions were good until about 4 pm. i left right before that but a buddy stayed later and said it went to straight shit right after all the school kids showed up. Solid setup for how bad this year has been though. nothing big though unfortunately.

What happened with the condos up there? didn't they pay a ton and was promised a top of the line facility and then the company sold?

I was there Tuesday. It was slushy with few patches of dirt and grass. I would never go to creek on a weekend and would hold off until they can make snow.

Another dude got a serious head injury AND THE DUDE WAS WEARING A HELMET!!! He smashed his head on the ice real hard. I think he prob went to the hospital. He didnt look good at all. He wouldnt respond to anyone, just holding his head and writhing.

I know personally of 4 people that sustained concussions wearing helmets. Think of how bad it would be without one, though.....
