Course was looking good all week then the temps crashed. oh well, what can you do. Hammer beat Sisson to take home the grand. Brian and I were the only hacks involved, all the other clits bailed. wtf guys????? :razz: Beer truck was there as was a band this year. really good time. some sick skiing involved considering the bumps were frozen solid. We need more turnout though if this is to continue. congrats to all involved. Ski Dorks son skied awesome but was unseated as champion of the under 18 group after a 4 year winning streak. Like i said, he still skied awesome. only thing the temps really changed were what people were throwing for airs. alot less 3's and i don't think i saw any 7's unlike past years.

oh and brian beat gumby and the easter bunny to win the consolation round. that shit was priceless.

Yes I was there and fell again and again. I had the worst run of the day and dislocated my shoulder to boot.246412_10151498006354111_164822428_n.jpg384088_10151498006419111_1769040188_n.jpg

I'm just sore. It was real quick and went back in on its own( not even 2 seconds). Heating pad and rest a few days then should be good to go.

You going to change your avatar picture to one of those above? My shoulder is still sore from a bump spill I took out west 5 weeks ago.

+1

I have never learned to tuck my shoulder on a fall like that either. I fractured my wrist once and wrenched the shoulder pretty bad once. The wrist healed pretty quickly as I was only 20 at the time. The shoulder took over a year to normal.

The comp turned out to be a great time. Sure the course was challenging, but isn't that kind of the point? I'm glad I entered, and not just because I got a pair of skis out of it. Next year we'll have better weather and hopefully more competitors!

I'm happy that I didn't enter my kids like I originally planned on doing, that would have been pretty rough on them. Aside from being firm, it was also a lot longer than previous years!

I hope someone has video of my consolation round against Gumby and the Easter Bunny! :lol:
