More Features Added
Hey it’s Finestone with another Park report for early December. It’s cold up there. While some people might think that is a bad thing, I tend to disagree. Sure, it is bullet hard if you land on your heels off the new “Shack Booter” but it also means that the landings off the jibs stay rut free for smoother dismounts and reverts. This cold snap is making sure the snowmakers are busy and have lots to do. Last week they grabbed a few of the guns from the Park to lock in the ski-outs and now we are all free from downloading until late April. Tonight the guns will return to the Parks and we will add to the natural head start we got in November.
The 2010 Park team are all trained up and out on the slopes tuning up the features every day and today marked the official opening of the Highest Level Park so helmets and passes are mandatory from now on. Sunday December 13th is the first Park event of the season with a rail jam happening on Whistler. Murphy and KC have been building up mounds for new features and Anto has been tweaking a few boxes so we can install some new stuff before that events kicks off next weekend. Steve Petrie has done some basic shaping in the pipe and has also welded up a new combo box set-up which will debut in the coming days on Whistler.
With the epic snow of November and the cold snap of the arctic outflow this week, the 09-10 season already feels well under way. Put on your puffy coat some big mitts and come check it out, the cold will just make you that much tougher for the rest of the season.
…and would someone please send Ullar a text and tell him come back to work, we need some snow!
