Great to see you having some real fun this early in the season!!! totally jealous!!! One trail and a bunch of runs beats my weekly two hour run at the indoor ski slope here in Jersey... it gets a bit monotonous but at least we are skiing.... Enjoy it for what it is!!!!

[@cvn6555]

At least you have an indoor facility. I'm stuck in central PA with hopes for JF/BB opening in mid-December. The East sux.

[@JJRodpro]

just pack your gear and come over, last summer I met a guy from Pittsburg and last month two young boarders from Utah, always talking to people from up state New York, Connecticut and Mass.... everyone seems to have fun, just as when you go out to JF/BB... pick a day and make it happen. @@cvn6555

[@LucasCatania17]

stoked to hear youre still getting out there even if its indoors man!

[@jeffe7261x]
