Today was a great morning. There was a few inches of natural dry snow all over. The entire East Mt. was left ungroomed. This would have been really great, but they blow a lot of snow, which made the piles deep and heavy. I had a few yard sales myself and gave up, because my skis weren't wide enough and I kept catching the edges in the man made piles, when trying to turn. Hopefully this Friday will be just as good with new snow.

terrain parks golden rule:

check yourself, before u wreck yourself

 

i learned the hard way also

it pays to scope things out and get a feel for it before going big

hah i did the first run and was like "yeah this is a lot smaller", but 2nd run i guess i didnt give a shit.

 

so yeah, my own stupid fault

Ha yea jumps are tricky day to day because sometimes with just a tiny bit of movement on the blade on the cat will change it completely. The first big jump on Indian at MC last year was like a 25 footer from lip to knuckle, and with the long landing you could make it a 40 safely. I had it really dialed for about a month and was throwing everything. Then when day I hit it first run without checking it since they hadn't changed it in so long, but they had made the lip with like twice as much kick and much closer to the knuckle, and I cleared easily 50 or 60 feet. I hadn't reached my highest point when the knuckle was under me. Luckily the trail itself is kind of steep so I hit the ground feet first, but I had so much momentum from falling my ass hit the ground so fucking hard I thought I had broken my tailbone. I couldn't sit for at least a week I had unbelievable bruises on my ass. My best friend who saw it happen nick named the jump Bubba since it raped me hardcore. You always have to check jumps out before you hit them, I probably would have noticed the change if I had checked it out first.
