General Comments/Likes

This is a great Jackson Hole tradition, which arises from the hard work of the owner, tenants, and friends. 4 to 5 kickers with unique features like the shed gap, fence hop, garage stomp gap, roof drop, and seperate ski and sled jumps. Tow to access from the back of a truck. If you see a bunch of yahoos drinking PBR in ski gear and smell 2 stroke, then it’s on . Private residence, so approach only when Mike D is home and outside.

Dislikes

Traffic through road from neighbors, fear of roof height. Lack of snow on road can cause big jumps to be unususable.
