minnesota rules

[t.hitch]

mi casa es su casa

[szaarh]

yes. yes

minnesota does rule :]

[rosepose48]

haha yes.. This season were gonna have a meet up of minnesota kids on the site. We can all go to spirit or something...its gonna be sweet and its going to happen!!!!

[t.hitch]

yeah and we can bring friends that aren't on this site, but ONLY one

[szaarh]

that would be pretty sweet.

spirit is in duluth right?
mayb...?

[t.hitch]

i think we should all meet somewhere and pool up there for the kids that dont have money for gas. go up there one day board, get a hotel or something, than go home the next day and everyone pitch in $20 for gas and like $25 for hotel

[szaarh]

that would cool and smart ( for the pooling up thing) + i woudl find that awesome seeing that i usualy only go to the place i live like 5 mins from

[rosepose48]

hyland? because thats what im like 10 minutes from. then buck is 15. Wait we should all go to giants ridge, because its easily the best place in minnesota! my fav. for sure

oh that pooling thing is a killa idea. we could all rent a villa!! oh yess

[szaarh]

ya hyland.

the hill i live and waste all my $$ on. sadly.
naver been to buck hill but heard of it.

giant ridge? never heard of that how far is that from mpls?

pooling.

but realising that u guys are like 4 and 7 years experienced i feel so behind.

[rosepose48]

5 hours. if you drive fast you can get up there in 4.. i go there like 3 times a year usually. think of hyland times 20000. theres giants. haha

[szaarh]

thats amazing

last year was my 1st season

and only places i went was hyland and afton twice
and bad time for afton once with my friends skier she doesn nothign but wanna go in the shally (sp?) and 2nd time end of season and was all slusshy and friend hurt himself so i felt bad.

[rosepose48]

yeah i like afton because its a lot bigger and there is usually nobody there. I like buck. im still trying to decide between the two for a season pass... hmmmmmm

[t.hitch]

ive never been to hyland but ive wanted for like 2-3 years never been to giants but i agree with going to giants instead i heard that a season pass there is less expensive than buck and hyland, how much is a hyland season pass? i still think we should poool up tho and dont worry just cause we have more exprience doesnt mean u cant keep up besisde i always do better when i ride with ppl better than me

[t.hitch]

i still say go for the pass at buck!!! than u could ride with me and my friends!!!

[szaarh]

oh man im getting season pass at hyland. closet. i spent way to much $$ on lifts last year. well in my oponion being my 1st year i had no idea what i was doing lol

i wanna try buck hill. hyland gets old really fast.

[t.hitch]

yeah but how much does a hyland pass cost?

[szaarh]

i have no idea i was trying to check but they don have the price up yet. if cheaper before season starts im guessing somwhere around $200-$300 i really have no idea mayb liek $250...

[t.hitch]

yeah bucks is 280 in september

[rosepose48]

buck is basically the same thing as hyland, but without as many people. which is killah. although the rails at buck are too advance for me.. theyre all like tripple kinked... im still only able to 50/50 on plain old unfancy raisl haha

but that would be so tight if we all got a pass at the same place! i always ride better when im with people that are better than me too

[t.hitch]

yeah it would!!!

[szaarh]

ya if i boarded with u gues that woidl be cool. i board with my freinds and thats how i got where i am. im up with a 5 year guys but hes not really that good lol

all i know is that was my 1st season i loved it and i want more lol.

getting a pass together would be cool.

[t.hitch]

im pushin for buck cause its closer for me an hour away ha and i guess hyland is like 1hour 30 min, but i dont know

[szaarh]

oh ouch thats pretty far. i dont kwno how far i am from buck i think 10 from buck. 5 or 6 from hyland.

never been to buck.

heard it has good runs but bad park? idk either way snowboardings snowboarding

[rosepose48]

Yeah i just dont like hyland that much in comparison... i would say buck. although i promised my best friend (who skis) i would get a season pass osmeplace with her... i dont know if she'll want to get one at buck but im pulling for it!!

[rosepose48]

bucks park is pretty good. its not as good as hyland but they do have some easier stuff. But like i said all the raails are way too hard for me

[t.hitch]

osmeplace, where is that? is hylands park technical?

[szaarh]

i think she means "someplace"

hylands park is always f*cking packed tow rops a b*tch waiting for a turn gettin cut off and this is what im telling u and ive only been in the park liek 3 times

its funner to do stupid sh*t on longer runs

[rosepose48]

Yeah osmeplace is the word someplace misspelled. or someplace. haha okay um hylands park is pretty nice. its big too, theyre jumps are usually pretty nicely groomed. although, hyland doesnt have a pipe. i dont know how to ride pipe but i want to learn

oh by the way szaarh you must live really close to me. i go to southwest. well duh youre the girl that knows meg right? yeah same school as me. i live over by there too

Hit up Lutsen that is the best place in the midwest, it is about as close to a real mountain you can get without driveing 800 mile

[szaarh]

Hit up Lutsen that is the best place in the midwest, it is about as close to a real mountain you can get without driveing 800 mile

ahh i almost got to go once. and then i didnt i was really bummed.

ill take your word on it though. + my friend said it was amazing.

[artifact153]

i have an idea! instead of worrying about where to get a pass in the congested cities, get a pass at spirit! theyre only 129-169 and if you only go 3-4 times for full days...thats your pass paid off right there! and its got such a tight park. me and my friends kinda take it for granted cuz we go there all the time but it is REALLY nice...the best park i'd say in minnesota for sure

[szaarh]

now if only spirit wasnt oliek and hour away.

[Otherhood]

giants ridge is ghetto

[smashvixen]

spirit is the best in the midwest....just moved here from madison....i rode at cascade for the past 2 year....but i am origanlly from marquette mi......i rode them all last season....spirit is best...thats why i moved....

[szaarh]

ahh i think im goin to spirit this winter. we get a hotel and stay there on wintr break. :D

[Leo B. Jibbins]

the only reason i like minnesota.....charlie conway, goldburg,adam banks....and the bash brothers.....mighty ducks, possibly the most famous people in minnesota

[snowmaker10]

I tell you all this, there are a few places in MN that are close and super pimp. And if you want "as close to mountins" as you can get, check out MTBOHEMIA.COM you upper MI ridders know what I am talking about. **** blows anything around here outta the water.

[smashvixen]

i agree....i think its awesome that they don't allow beginners.....

[enj0i29]

wow, I didn't realize how many people on here ride hyland. Gotta let me know when you guys get out there and I'll ride with ya

[szaarh]

ya to hyland.

its so close thats why i go . :]

[smashvixen]

i'm pretty sure thats where all my buddys i know from comps go....if only they lived in duluth....oh well i know they'll make it here sometime....

[smashvixen]

hey is anyone goin to wild his weekend? i'll be there all weekend for the demo...

[cross boarder]

I'm going to be at Buck on Saturday.. Premature Jibulation, baby!

[Peedz]

anyone know if any MN resorts are opening this week. I realy want to get out and ride but It is not looking very promissing right now. Forcast says it will be in the upper 40s all week in the southeast. That just depresses me. I havent heard about any resots north of the cities. All the websites Ive checked dont give any real info on when they are officially opening.

[smashvixen]

spirit opens on thursday.....i will be there....

[cross boarder]

Wild is already open. I was just there today.

[smashvixen]

woah... so was i....i was actually there all weekend so i hurt a little too much to ride yesterday....

[cross boarder]

Haha, no way! That's crazy. I was there with my mom. I only stayed for like an hour because I was hurting pretty bad from Pre Jib on Saturday. I had my red Windells hoodie and white Windells tshirt on and my blue pants on.

[artifact153]

this sucks! spirit wont be open til dec. 2nd now! ugh thats so lame

[smashvixen]

are you serious?! wtf.....anow i'm pissed.....i just moved here like a month and a half ago....i was so lookin forward to makin some winter friends this week :(

[Peedz]

I guess Welch Village opens tomorow. Thats where I usually ride cause I teach there. Im surprised though cause its been like 50 all week. Im going rideing on Saturday, probably for just a hour or two. The conditions will suck but at least I get to ride. woot

[ascitiesburn101]

Hyland opened today..
I don't get all the hate for Hylands park here, it's a lot better than buck

[Peedz]

ive never been to either. But yea just from driving by Buck I know I dont want to go there.

[szaarh]

Hyland opened today..
I don't get all the hate for Hylands park here, it's a lot better than buck

[ascitiesburn101]
