Over 20 days now.
Did Delirium today. It was solid for my first lap of the season. Got some wind blown, fresh, blower.
The hike out is annoying tho.

You honestly come across as a bit of a repressed, buttoned up, dork. This isn’t 93/94 anymore. The sport is older than I am. It helped skiing develop parabolic shapes, get into half pipe, and together they’ve grown slope style. They are sharing technology more, than opposing.
A real benefit, to our Rocky Mtn hills, is we used to be able to do single laps with high alpine pow, trees, pipe (rip), and park. Developing a generation of all-around rippers.
On the topic of pipes; From the too steep pitched, pipe at Larch, to the o.g at the base of the ol platter, to under the friendly giant, Louise put a lot ($) into them. I feel CODA, or the like, should feed money to these hills the same way they do COP. (Granted I dont know the intimate finances)
