girls.ride.harder

haha dude don

Woah chill dude. If you go after snow it's legit. But your right, its totally a shit hole. Maybe that's why it's ranked so high in transworlds east coast top 5s

Have you ever thought about Seven springs? I know its in PA, but its still pretty far away so you may have never been there. The mountain is alot different than the stuff around here and kindof has an open face on one of the sides. They get more snow there than we do here and when I was last there I was hit with a foot of fresh snow and it was the best riding I`ve ever done around here. If you plan to go after they get snow I think you`d have a really good time.

The mountain def was open the day they had it..aka sunday..? I was there and they did have it, but it wasnt like a huge event or anything, they did a product toss I think. You couldn`t even see who was there with DC because that would be like playing life sized wheres waldo in a sea of 500 people. I`m pretty sure Aaron Bitner, Ikka Backstrom, and one other that I forget the name of were there.

they have signs that say no overnight parking and all that but I slept in a car there and nothing happend

haha cute but my user name isnt girls.ride.better, its actually the slogan for a girls outerwear company and more so the fact that girls take crazy ridiculous falls that would make alot of guys just get mad and chill out for the day, but the girl would just laugh and keep riding. but anyhoo, thats kinda lame theres no girls div. and i`m not the only chick that thinks so. but its still snowboarding..sooo, word

no girls div?

Just got home... My friends and I were the first customers in the parking lot arriving at 3:00am and sleeping there till the morning...we were anxious and just wanted to leave pa =] . First few runs were sick and there was actually a decent amount of "powder".. after a while it got a bit icy but it was still funn as ever. Good amount of trails open with a small park set up. Was good day until my friend locked our phones, wallets, and keys in her car in the middle of a parking lot at a bar hahah, then it was a great day. luckily we found "that guy" in Killington who knows everyone and was able to find us a man with a jimmy. Def worth the 12 hours of driving and 44 bucks.

I`ll be there sundayy with some dudessss!

Hmm I might go!

Yeah I`ve revieved a few picture messages but I think everything still being built.. hopefully some pics will be up in the near future.. I`ll ask bossman to put some on the park crew myspace.

I`m actually kinda sad the pipes really going =[ even tho it sucks most of the time..but i guess its cool since they are making room for Pa`s second "central park" terrain park..

Why would we say goodbye to the halfpipe? the air bag isn`t going there if thats what you are thinking lol

I`ve left my car there like 20+ times last season and the season before...in the staff lot. Its always been fine. I`d suggest doing it there if your gonna do it

Haha yeah but you cant always see kids when they are chillen in the landing

sport and ski chalet or something

I dont think the airbag is a waste of money... I rode one in hood and it was INSANE. maybe you cant land something and ride away, but thats not what its about. In my oppinion and from my experience its more about learning to control yourself in the air doing wilder tricks without having to worry about breaking yourself when you land. Then once you are comfortable and controlled you`ll be more confident and stable doing the trick to a real landing. The blue mountain local parkrats are all stoked on it and I think that its going to help push the limits of the kids that ride there for sure. Buttt yeah I think park passes would be great but I dont think it will happen. I`ve been told it takes alot to get them going but I`ll talk to my boss and see if he can possibly start making some moves towards them. There are some new features coming around this season too but nothing 100% finalized so for now I have to keep quiet about it.

Allentown

Did I mention you can have it for free.99 ? I just dont want it to go to waste

I have a certificate for a $50 board/ski tune but I`ve never even thought about getting my board tuned and dont plan on it =] Its up for grabs if anyone wants it since it has no use to me..

I guess thats what I`d be considered? And airbag= not bullshit. Its just taking a while because appearantly theres alot of insurance crap to deal with when you bring them around, who ever would have guessed. And Doug and Rob, you are both acting like idiots. I know you both are decent, nice, MATURE guys so stop having cat fights over the stupidest stuff ever.

Doesn`t anyone remember the air bag thread?!?

Haha thanks for all the stoke guys!

Thanks Toast =] it was def something I recommend to everyone who likes to travel. The camp was a waste of money but we didnt know any better until we were there.. Super cheap compared to american camps at only 600 american, but coaching is minimal, not any celebrities, minus all the pro skiers at the glacier, and the food SUCKED. The only pro was the use of facilities like skate ramps and tramps..but they let all the people staying in the glacier village use it. its good for younger kids..as for everyone else there is a camp ground 50ft from the camp itself (this is where everyone older spent their time and partied) its a huge camping colony of skiers and snowboarders of all ages. soo fun. there is also a public bus to and from the glacier that is cheap for people not at the snowboard camp. as far as lift tickets and season passes, they are the price of normal winter rates here in the U.S.. I`d recomend the camp for people 16 and under.. website is www.folgefonna.no

I kinda forgot to make any posts about this but I spent alot of my summer riding and alot of it was in Norway at a glacier called Folgefonna. I was there for 18 days and fell in love with the country! We started off in Oslo, the capital, in southeastern norway. Then made our way across country by train to the city of Bergen which is on the western coast of the country. Finally on our 4th day in Norway we took busses, ferries, and hitch hiked to our final destination in Jondal which is a super tiny fishing village about an hour south west of bergen. This was the only town remotely close to the glacier. But about the glacier..it was gorgeous and the jumps were amazinggg but they were seriously lacking in the rail/box department. It was probably the best time of my life. I thought everyone wouldd enjoy some pictures and a little play by play =] I also want everyone to know that NONE of these pictures have been edited. This place just really is that gorgeous. This is at port in Oslo city where we stayed 3 days and 2 nights. This city is the biggest city in Norway and its only about the size of bethlehem. Its soo pretty with so much to do and lots of shopping (norway is one of the wealthiest countries in the world and a tee shirt cost about 60 american dollars so I dont suggest actually shopping haha).. These ships were crazy and everywhere you looked. This is just some of the city as a storm was coming in. The weather here is seriously bi polar. Normally norway gets rain 4 out of 5 days but luckily out of our whole stay, this was the only substantial rain we got, lasting only 20 minutes. I`ve never seen such evil looking clouds in my life. We got lucky and got a free place to stay while in Oslo thanks to a friend of ours.. It was a flat in a tennis club. One room, and a bathroom, that had no shower.. Just a spicket above a washing machine. We were all actually scared to shower and played rock paper scissors to see who had to go first. We learned that appearently this is normal in Norway. This is 11pm. Confused? We were too. around mid june, the sun never completely sets and there are a couple days of 24 hour daylight. Its called the Midnight sun and they even have a holiday for it called Midsummers. Lots of GREAT parties for that let me tell you. I`m still exhausted. OH and this messes with your sleeping habits to say the least. On this night, we never went to bed thanks to bar hopping till 3 am, and having a 6am train to catch. Only in Oslo norway will you find a man running in no shoes and boxers at 4 in the morning. We had to take a picture. This is what we saw on the train ride to Bergen. I fell asleep in a city where it was 80 out everyday, and woke up 3 hours later to this. Next we were in Bergen, which I can honestly say it the prettiest city Ive ever seen. Smaller than oslo but still one of the biggest cities in the country. Its located off of a fjord on a mountain side. This picture is "historic Bergen". Soooo cute. We spent only two days and one night here but we made our time well worth it. Even slept in a youth hostel with 30 bunk beds in one room. sooo sick This is just the girls I went with and myself on the ferry ride over to jondal. Snow walls on the sketchiest access road ive ever seen, that leads up to the glacier. Traffic jams were very normal on this road thanks to Norways crazy screaming cows that are violent and stubborn. Nothing will make them move out of the road. This is a view from the base of some of the park.. I took it from the website of the snowboard camp because we didnt have any full shots =[..Oh yeah, we went to a snowboarding camp for a week while there then tented for the last 5 days and hitchhiked to the mountain everyday where we poached once our camp passes stopped working =x goood ol norwegian summer back country Norways all about Tbars.. non of us had EVER used one and some Norwegians got quite a few good laughs out of our "accidents".. like me falling off wildly at least 3 times a day. woooops my girl Elin Tortorice killin it on the medium jumpline snowwwsnowsnowww Fonna is known for its sunset shoots which are normally around 12 am haha, soo pretty, killer hike tho since the mountain closes at 4. Soo then I came home for a day of reality before my next snowboarding adventure started but thats a whole other story. I came home with tons of new facebook friends, some lifetime friends even, a couple new tricks, a never ending hangover (18yr drinking age), an over drawn bank account thanks to the $30 six packs of cheap norwegian beer, so many memories, and even a cute Norwegian boyfriend ;]. I`d say it was a good time. Hope everyone enjoys =D Im going back next summer for a month and a half and might even be working park crew. soooo excited.
