If I have to explain to you the irony in what you wrote then you are far more pathetic then what I originally thought.

There are lots of people on here get it and think you are a joke. I've never met you and that's probably a good thing.

I don't get it. I've met that Greg guy and he isn't the least bit funny.

Seriously though, as was pointed out earlier, there is a difference between claiming to have the steepest/widest/gnarest of something vs what Sundown is doing in hyping up their new run.

How about we all get together on neutral ground, hug it out, and slay some low - angle bumps?

It's hard to believe AZ has been around for 16 years this year!

Another view of the newly cut trail. My guess, Kurt (?) could easily seed 4-5 lines and if they wish, place a snow rail along the edge.

BTW, were the stumps taken out or will be graded in?

I have hiked it a few times and there is little to no stumps, but some rock formations on the edges (could be fun depending on how deep the snowpack is)

Must have spent a pretty coin clearing that trail, stumps and all. Got to give Chris and the Sundown crew props for re investing back into the mountain.

They got rid of the stumps so they could regrade the trails with cliffs.

I thought they got rid of the stumps so that they could install a burning ring of fire.

I can't believe all the natural hazards. That shit is manicured better than a golf course.

Who's gonna be the first person on here to mountain bike down? We need a TR, assuming you actually survive

Before long this thread will have one post per foot of Satan's Stairway's vertical.
By ski season it will have one post per mogul.

Don't worry about the manicuring, they covered it with some kind of matting. I'm sure the rocks will be able to work their way through.
