The word for Saturday was consistency. 10mph and an ESE wind was the order of the day from 11am till 2pm with nary a change. While 1/2 of us flew the slope, the other 1/2 flew winch on the Westside of the hill.

I am envious. Even with all out mountains we have very few slopes that we can actually land on. Most would rip a non foamy apart. Everything is covered in trees

Lucky guys.
