My money is on the guy in the orange coat with grey sleeves to win the bump comp.

Looks like you guys had lots of fun out there.

Great skiing by everyone. Once MR. evil got the nerve to let them run a bit he did great, especially on the lower angle bumps. rueler is not only a great mountain biker, but rips on skis. WoodCore too. Big props to Madroch too who apparently is just getting back into skiing after an 18 year hiatus. You wouldn't know it the way he was ripping those bumps last night.

You need to list who is wearing what color.

I know, I should of been there and I would know this stuff.

i was the one moving slowly in the opening scene. by contrast, right after me, flying down the hill, was downhill04. that boy can ski! i can't believe how well everyone was skiing last night.

looks like the bumps kept getting better and better as the night went on.

no kidding. hard to even pick out the regulars.

Jay was killing it in the afternoon before it even got good. I knew he was gonna go off when the bumps got soft.

who is the dude in the red jacket and olive (?) pants. very nice. everyone looked good actually.

Very good day/night indeed. Enjoyed flailing away and watching how it should be done...Still chuckling over the tip someone gave me to be a T-Rex to keep the hands in front and quiet- good visual though.

Downhill04. He was ripping it, and had been there since 10AM. Definitely a contender.

Let's not forget the dude had back surgery to remove a disk this summer/fall. Doesn't seem to be slowing him down, evidenced by the 270 face plant.

Madroch.

You don't give yourself enough credit. You were ripping last night. Welcome back to the sport!

Nice work on the video Greg. Thanks for editing out all my tumbles.

Really, really nice night to be out there! Great skiing by all. Madroch, you definitely weren't skiing like a guy who's just getting back into it! I was having a lot of fun with my feeble air attempts, the soft landings really made me more willing push it a bit more.

First let me say I had a blast skiing with everyone. You guys were all ripping!!!

Second let me say WTF was I thinking. I feel like a 107 year old man today. Everything hurts. I must say my neck if feeling rather nice after that 270 face plan :smile:

Who know maybe I will make it back for the night session tonight. What time you getting there Pat?
