Hello my favorit hunny bunches, I am just sitting in my badder half's 2x2 room here up at UNC and I figured I should enlighten my dear friends in Indiana. The enlightening begins.... Friday, we got up at 10:00 (yay) and started our drive up to Echo Mountain which is about 1 1/2 hours away, not too bad considering you do NOT have to drive on I-70 for more than like....well not long. K, then we drove up some crazy ass road to see the beloved Echo Mtn. hidden umongst the tree covered landscape. If you haven't already heard...Echo Mtn. is strictly ALL PARK, and the small but amazing lodge is located in the middle of the hill. So you can take a run, decide half way through that your cold, then go inside eat hotpockets and play video games...its cool. The set up as of last Friday was... a 5-10 fter table at the top right, or you could opt to hit a flat down box/rail or the flat down picnic tables. after that there was a decent sized jump of about 25-30 ft maybe...kindda hard to tell but on the side of that jump was a banked c-box that was scary. They also had this wierd park bench type feature, i'm not even going to explain it unless you personally ask me to, then just a reg. box after that.... And that was just the top half of the hill. Then....my favorit, there was a swingset type box with wallride and c-box abilities and from both sides as well....it was super cool. Lets not forget the unbelievably long single barrel rail that I have seen 2 people clean in the 2 times I've been there. Then there was a series of different boxes as you go further down the hill and some wierd things to just play around on. Fuck this, I'll just post some pictures now......  ^ view from top (down flat and picnic tables) etc. 
^ Other side of the hill where a awesome jump line is being built....and this random rail. 
^ HUGE single barrel rail 
^ the rest of that run 
^ my fav. 
^ park bench type feature, at least thats what they call it. 
^ fun c-box 
^ one of the random features to mess around on. 
^ big wallride at the end HOPE THAT WASN'T TOOOOO MANY PICTURES, THAT TOOK FOREVER. p.s.- the skier to boarder ratio out there is prrrroobbbably at least 1-4. Not to many skiers, kind of sad. LOVEEEEEEEE STEPH!
