It was a very interesting study in sociology, the integration of snowboarding on the mountain. It's amazing people were actually discriminated against because of what they were wearing on their feet.

They called us up and were apologetic and said they wished they could come. I told them they better bring back the gold.

We're ready to go. We've been ready since last year.

People come here to simply try and do well at whatever level they are capable of doing. It helps the younger kids get older and wiser. It helps the older guys feel younger.

Our whole mountain certainly is a natural terrain park. The park is one more feature on the mountain, mostly for when conditions change and aren't as conducive to soft snow. When it's a powder day, people don't use it. When things settle out, the park is more popular.

In the roots of snowboarding, duct tape was a part of snowboard technology.

It's got a real nice flow to it. It will be a true bobsled course.

This is an unusual storm pattern.
