Yes. *Anything* would be more interesting. THUD THUD THUD.

In local news, the hill realized that the ginormous Olympic-sized Super
Pipe which they built a couple of years ago at no small expense was the
least used piece of real-estate in the whole place, so they bulldozed it
and will replace it with a hill dedicated to race-training. They're
copying the model that brought the world Lindsay Vonn and Sarah Schepler
- we'll see if it bears fruit, but it has to be a better utilization of
space than the Big Gutter.

Well Breckenridge is adding a new one since their old one isn't quite
Olympic sized. They needed to do it so they could get real Olympians
for the Dew Tour. Last year the Dew Tour guys extorted $50k from the
town for promoting their event and then no Olympians showed up because
Breck only had an 18' pipe instead of a 22' pipe. Maybe this year we
will get our monies worth out of the tour but I doubt it.

How does any place "get their money's worth"?
