Sick lines. Sicker booters. Monster troughs everywhere. Great stuff! I still need some work on the kickers, but I *almost* made the landing a few times. I think the left one is a great model for the rest. Didn't hit the right. The baby AZ jump sent me almost to the moguls. :lol:

Always great to ski with the usual crew. Also psyched to ski with madriverjack again. He was grinning ear to ear. Frank's a great guy too.

We racked it old school at the Institution. :lol: Nice to meet you Dis/BB. :beer:

Great day. Nice to meet some new folks, Dis/BB, Madriverjack, MQ, Frank and Bart-- and always enjoy the regs. Missed the apres as I was a late arrival and didn't want to stop. Even had a run with Mr.Magic very late, but legs were shot by then. Bumps were deep and soft- very nice. KIckers were big- a little intimidating at the beginning but "baby steps" eventually got me more comfortable. Maybe the park guys should'nt be building the mogul kickers-- loi, although there is probably no one else.

I got in a solid 4 hours of Gunny, with a little brew break in the middle. Thanks to Mad River Jack and Frank for the beer! Nice to meet BB, glad he was able to make it to the real institution.

The new kickers were freaking me out a little, I was glad that Jarrod and his park guy built up the mini baby kicker for me to keep myself occupied on. I was starting to get the feel for it by the time I left.

After I hit the baby booter, ishovelsnow: "That's much more Greg-friendly" :lol:

i think today was better than Monday.

Sun, temp and snow conditions were pretty much the same as Monday (which was great). But the added traffic improved the conditions overall, IMHO.

Was a bit surprised to see all new kickers in on the lower part of GB. Felt like they were pretty good on Monday. But after the first try I really liked the new left kicker. Right was more up than out and that doesn't work so good for me.

Great skiing with everybody today and nice to meet some new people. Helmet cam footage is uploading and I'll post the link when done.
