5/1 Big Snow American Dream

[DiMe]

Put in a session for the first time at Big Snow.  It's pretty surreal going from a mall parking garage to walking into a 28 degree freezer with a quad chair. 

The park setup is quite fun for what it is.  Foe the freeride only crowd it would get boring dast but probably still worth a single mid summer visit.  

Snow quality was very good at open, soft and no ice.

All in all JADIP and I'll prob be back once aor twice a month through the off season.

Yeah, we’ll probably end up there a couple times.

I really do enjoy having it as a summer option.  Scratches the itch a bit and nice to make a afternoon of it.  The Yard House was some pretty decent food with a good view of inside the snowdome while eating.

 

The place does have a really cool vibe.  The lifties are all really chill as were all the fellow park rats and free carvers alike.  Some hard booters both board and ski's were laying down some really hard carves just taking it in on the open side.  No problems with overcrowding or beginners and experienced people clashing in such a tiny space at all.  I'm sure the weekends are a bit busier.

We end up going about once a month over the summer and set a bump line somewhere.
We seemed to have started a trend doing it last year as other bumpers in the area have also started doing it.
The patrollers got a kick out of us doing it and didn't stop us and even ran the lines. 
Gave everyone not in the part something else to do, as the one run is short and gets pretty boring after a couple of runs.

Do you go only on weekends?

Pretty much, unless enough can escape on a day during the week.

Awesome, they seem really cool about that sort of stuff.  Staff and everyone enjoying the scene is just a solid good vibe there.

There is a Facebook group called Bumping Big Snow where the members post about their plans to bump up the fridge.  A lot of Blue and Hunter skiers are members.  They are planning to be there this Thursday (May 11) from open to close and will be seeding a line or two.  I think they have a group on Instagram too, probably with the same name.
