Yeah, its been a while since we could say this dirty four letter word round these parts but SNOW has finally made its way back. The weekend gave us some hope that we could actually eak a winter out of this season. But I really can't say this season has sucked. There were some great chalky snow days, and it really threw the hammer down on those who had the skill versus those who did not. Which made it more gooder for those who knew where to find the goods. Also the metal has been quite nice as well. Most of the area mountains have recognized the need for better parks and this dry spell has really shown who has and who has not focused on that need.

Nothstar... what can you say but fun. Squaw, compared to years past I would say they deserve an honorable mention for the updated park features. Alpine, the word is that they are doing some really good work over in the meadow. Homewood, poor little homewood, I last rode there christmas day and I honestly can say it was one of my best days this season, but on the park side of things well, can't do much when there isn't much snow. But I love that little mountain anyway. Sugarbowl, our own team rider Devin "the dude" price works over there and word is that JP is building a great park this year. Boreal... well the whole hill is a park so how can you go wrong.

Now that snow is here its time to venture away from the parks till the spring time.
