Echo Mt, opening day!!!!!!

So yesterday Friday December 5th, one of my favorite spots opened, Echo MT. Jeff Cormack and I decided to come check out the setup for the opening day. On our way up we decided to scope a rail, and probably should have done it but couldn't quite get our stuff together. So we continued on, on our journey to the moutain. Up at echo, after getting our pass' and some mingling we joined teams with Marc and Steve and took some laps. Echo is definitly moving in the right direction this season. They opened with a pretty nice jump and some very innovative features; including an "e" that stands about 10 feet tall, and a long pill that im sure will get killed soon enough.

After some good laps and some good falls on my part, we said our good byes and headed back down to boulder to find some urban to hit. Unfortunatly in the short amount of time we were up in the mountains most of the snow melted, and it didnt look like we were going to be able to do our rail. Marc decided to just head to boulder skatepark for some fun jib. At boulder skate park we set up the mini ramp with a speed bump so we could go back in forth. I was only really able to do 2 times, but cormack and marc got atleast 3. Great little session until snow got to wet and too sticky. We decided to call it a day and get home to relax.

 Back home to rest and on to the next day. Heading up to Echo again today so stay posted for more...
