The Canyons went out in true style. With blue skies, warm weather and a perfect park, the party went off.

Sick...

Always nice to see the boys getting they're shred on.

Squaw closes 5/11 and I have mad floor/couch/futon space- come one, come all...I'll sweet talk tickets out of Savannah.

No Joke!

I scored a ticket here one day this year and it was one of the most fun days of the year. Ten times better than park city had their park for the better part of the season. PC finally got some things dialed during the last week of riding, but Canyons was on it all season. I'd call it overall the best park in Utah now. Better Jumps than Brighton (brighton has a lot of fun/interesting jibs), better everything than PC (thank you for at least having that 8 ball - best feature you've ever had, learn to get creative and set up a down rail! TWS best park? Not a chance!), lots of variety, good stuff. I never would have thought, but I'll probably get a season pass to Canyons next year.

SO fun...

Those boards are so fun- I'm amazed at how well aboard that presses so easy handles the slush. No wonder people love the rocker boards. I'm sold...
