you should come down for both comps next year. although, the one on temptor isnt really in the same category and if the snow is good at killington, it would be a tough sell.

In the flatlands of Ct. for a little bit longer.
Does Mohawk have a small to medium sized halfpipe?

I must say when i look at your dumper air i completely understand your hate of halfpipes and i suspect your hate of the park as well.
I am guessing and probably correctly that you went into a halfpipe one time and went right into the wall wylie coyote style. Thus turning you off to halfpies alltogether.

It's not as long as gunbarrel but there is a section of either chute or wildwood that was steeper.

That little shot on Wildwood just does not compare to the gnar that is Gunbarrel. :lol:

I hope you're not referring to my avatar, there's nothing dumper air about that awesome display.. :roll:

I've been in a half pipe once or twice, at Hunter when followed some friends down the trail that led to it. I skied right through the middle to get back to the lift. So no, I didn't crash into the wall. I can see how it might be fun, but it has no appeal to me, actually looks kinda boring. I have no hate for half pipes, or parks, they're just not something that appeals to me. If I recall correctly you're the one who has hate for mountains that don't have half pipes. :roll:

I really can't take the credit for calling a moutain lame if it doesn't have a halfpipe. I got it from my 8yr. old nephew who told me all about halfpipes on our 45 minute ride up to sundown. He in his infinite wisdom told me sundown was lame because they didn't have a pipe for him to ride in.
I do like halfpipes myself, but not superpipes as they are very scary to me when i am at the top and just barely popping out.
I will say it again- small to medium sized pipes are very fun and superpipes suck.

Brian didn't take your bait so allow me. You're quite the trash talker, yet **surprise** you never made an appearance at Sundown when any of our crew was there... :roll: You must belong to the Highway Star School of Internet Tough Guys... :lol:

You looked right at me last year buddy. You were in to much of a rush to get back on the lift and ski to acknowledge anyone.
Almost our entire skihouse was there one weekend as well.
No highwaystar here. I am not even close to top 30.
