Shocked Hmm...I wonder what it would have looked like with a 300 ft. tabletop at the end!?! Wink
...I wish they would have showed a little more of him trying to stop. Or even put a stopping distance meeter on the screen. But none the less, that dude has some huge balls!

The base is getting a good start. . . Can't remember what year it was, like '96, when the lifts opened before Halloween. Can't wait for the freshies. . . and face shots.

I remember them opening before halloween--and then they shut it down again for the enitre month of November! (I thought it was '01.)
Anyone remember "La Nina Ninety Nine-dia" ? Amazing la nina season--

That's rad but don't get your hopes up yet! Remember the 2004-2005 Season. We got 2 feet of snow on October 30th, here is a picture of Bruno run at Timberline from October 31st and a picture just a few days later from November 6th. It melts fast this time of year.

Yeah I said earlier that winter is not here for keeps.

Those pics remind me of just how shitty T-Line is--seen steeper parking lots, oh wait it is one!

I like timberline, their parks are rad and get way more attention. Sure their terrain is flat, but for a park kid like me it's perfect. Weekends at Meadows are an exercise in frustration. I usually get passes to both and ride Meadows during the week though this year is different cause I'm saving for a snowmobile. Then I'm going to have to figure out how to tow sliders into the back country just to really piss off all you steep/deep freaks. Razz
