Great evening session... Tom S. got the greater part of it being that he was there since 1PM... I was very pleasantly surprised to eak out 2 and a half hours of pretty great rides... It was my first real sesh at this site and I am impressed... The wind seemed pretty clean and the ramps were pretty comprable to PVU... Don't know if I'll soon be hitting PVU... The air was cold once you lifted your hands out of the water... Tom, Lewis, Josh, Diehard Jim and a couple others were getting some really good rides till pretty late... Although, I do have to remark on the Everest looking blowing snow that was on Timpanogas peak make me feel a chill to the bone even though I really wasn't very cold ever in the core!!!

I was just happy to have my new heated boom... Man that is nice... And my Portabe backpack 250W warm air suit blower (edited) is really helpful... I'm sure in Grantsville's -100 degree water it'll be nice! ;)

They are probably going to be charging entrance this year I'm assuming... Anybody know about this?

RICK it's true, they are charging to get in grantsville now! $20 a day is alot but luckily if you tell them you are with the agency. They will let you in free. Plus they gave away season passes to the first 100 people to arrive today. I,ve got a few extras if you need one

Yeah, I think they are smart to charge $20 a day... Red necks LOVE to pay $20 a day to get into a pond! ;)

Actually I was asking about Pelican Point... They are set up to start collecting money...We need to nip that in the bud early and cut a long term deal with them if they are... We once had to do that w/Rocky Point...
