"I've seen Hooter working and riding at Stratton for years. He rides himself so he builds the parks and pipes so the people and himself will be happy with them. I've seen him doing things from shoveling some of the pipe by hand to coming up with his own inventions like pulling a fence behind a snowmobile to smooth the flat bottom out. Hooter is a guy who likes what he does and I've been glad to ride his parks and pipes over the years".
