Bring on Spring!

It's March and spring is in the air!

I'm completely stoked on springs riding right now!
This winter has been long and some sunshine and good shred is in the forecast form here on out!

Only 4 weeks left in our Michigan season so it's time to start pushing it, and with the warm weather in the forecast it shouldn't be to hard to have some fun.

FCF 2.5

midweek slow days = super #1 good time

The winter so far has been pretty epic in Northern Michigan...
#1. we kicked of earlier than normal.
#2. our snowfall is above normal.
#3. lake Michigan hasn't gotten cold yet, meaning that when cold fronts come through we are getting crazy amounts of lake effect snow from the mixture of warm air on the water and cold air in the system - 16 inches in Charlevoix last week! (that's a lot of snow for us! dont laugh!)
#4. because of everything above, I have had the opportunity to get our park at Nub's Nob built early and have some super fun features to session on a daily basis!

Here are some photo's from last week.- thanks to Charlie Hoffman for snapping these gems!

Front side hip air on the new Nub's Nob Signature feature. - This is a Feature that i designed for the resort in July of this last summer. It was the last thing to get finished and put in the park and i was freaking out, just waiting to see how it would ride. It took a bit for kids to catch on to the idea that you could hit and or land in every direction of it. It turned out to be one of the funnest and most techinical things we have !

A look at the park I build at Nub's Nob

For the last two years I have been working as terrain park manager

This year we are making a push to be one of the top parks in the MidWest
by bringing new and innovative ideas to the drawing table.
Check out some of the features We've put up this week!
