    Hi Gang,

    We got a report in from another member that Woodbury is a mud hole. I just called them and they have 9 out of 20 tubing runs open. They only had five open yesterday so that's a bit odd. I'm leaning toward postponing until we actually see some winter weather here. Your feedback is welcome.

    Bummer!! Have my grandgirls with me today and we were really looking forward to it, but if we could do it with better conditions we will wait. More fun with more snow! This has been such a crappy winter.

    Ok. We're going to go! The place will probably be empty which is good. For those without a groupon, your choice to spend the money.

    who closed run 7 because they hit a tree ? this is on the same side as the ticket office. not where a snowboarding trails were ...

    Colleen

    Sounds like you all still had fun!! Awesome!! I'm supposed to go tomorrow...no snow pants though lol. Now that you are all pro's...will jeans be ok??

    Posted January 28 at 7:33 PM
  • Mike
    Mike

    I did see people with jeans. The run 7 may have been closed by a worker hitting a tree. I saw him with a badly beat up face and he said ( if I heard him correctly) he got it testing the run.

    Karen

    Colleen...as long as you don't fall, you will be fine. Just wear good shoes and an extra pair of sox. The only thing cold was my toes. We had fun despite the conditions.

    Posted January 28 at 7:42 PM
  • Colleen
    Colleen

    Lol is it possible to not fall?? Ok extra socks...check!!

    Posted January 28 at 7:45 PM
  • Karen
    Karen

    Yeah if you hold on tight!! The snow is wet so if you do wear jeans and fall...it will be wet and cold.

    The employee who had his face cut up was from trail six. He hit ice this morning when testing it. Mindy said she was ok and when we went to go back up the boob luge they said it was closed since it was too slick. Posted a pic earlier of her recovering. It was priceless once we knew she was ok. After that we headed back to the other side for a final run. The tubes with the extra rubber silicone go wickedly fast. On the diamond last run hit crazy mad air. Already sore but so worth it !
    Over 30+ ru

    Thanks for all the updates and pics everyone, sounds like alot of fun, working with the weather handed us this year, more like spring conditions. Since Mindy's ok... how's the fence? As far as over 30+... let's just say way ahead of ya'. Hope to meet everyone I haven't yet soon, and hope to see everyone I have, soon too! :)
