The picture of the day says to check out the pipe at the ski bowl. I heard preseason reports that it was a weak effort. Anyone know details about it now that it's shaped?

stay warm

My son says it is in pretty good condition now. They have been using the Pipe Dragon to groom it, and wala, it works Laughing Laughing

i skied it last night

about 6 ft walls, you'll be lucky to get 2 feet out. typically icy walls, and not quite vert yet, but yes, it is cut!

i guess jason's trying to get 10-12 ft walls on it, which is a joke because you can hardly carry any speed down it as it,and theres about 7 ft of flat.

he couldnt spend the extra cash to make their new rail/box's longer, but they will pay to blow more snow to make the pipe completely skewed/ridiculous.

I rode it a last week, had trouble staying in due to lack of vert? You would have enough speed if they would make the drop-in larger, and of course larger walls.

don't forget- you take far less hits on snow, i usually only get 5 hits in so i can carry a lot of speed through the run
