Hittin the slopes

[1slowdsm]

I've never been to hyland before. The only places I've been to are Trollhaugen and Afton Alps. This year I'll be going to Spirit Moutain, Afton Alps, Trollhaugen, Buck Hill and some other ones if I find people to go with me.

Which place in MN do you guys all go to? Which do you guys think is the best?

I went to wildmountain afton alps and hyland last year. the best was probably in between wildmt and afton. I learned at trollhaugen so im biased, i like it there, not to many ppl just right amount of foliage, and a good park.

HAHA, Hyland was are place back in the day. We'd pay for maybe 3 passes, then every other time, we'd just walk right in. We'd keep our old passes on our jackets so people didn't really notice. But there was a certain time everyday, like maybe noon or sumthin, that they'd go out to the lifts and check lift passes. So we'd just take a break and go inside and eat for an hour, and then go right back out! Place was pretty small, but we had fun over in their jump park area.

It seems most of you like the terrain parks, but I'm surprised none of you have mentioned Welch Village. I've only been there, Afton and Buck Hill, but it's something different and not too far away when compared to Afton.

YEAH BUDDY! the day was split in 1/2 @ 3:00, we'd put the lift ticket on our shell and take it off then and get to know the lift operator, remember? ;)

HAHAHAHAH sneaky sneaky you two are. i saw ppl all the time gettin caught there for no lift tickets. they had some security guard go all round the place. crazy

Ive been to welch once a few years ago, thought it was really nice but I dont remember a whole lot about it, stayed overnight with school and was really fun.

[Halon]

Oh, hey Austin, you remember the bunny hills too. Gotta love those bad ass slopes!!

[1slowdsm]

Green Circles are the best! haha.

That's the reason why I like Trollhaugen, they dont have too many people and they have enough hills to go down. Afton is just always crowded with people, especially on the days that I can go..haha. But they have even more hills to go down...plus its kinda getting expensive at Afton. Its like $32 this year for a full day lift pass...it used to be in the $20 area didnt it?

i'm ready to finally hit the slopes any time just give some advanced warning.
