Too bad. You missed the special whoopie pies I made. :p

I believe a guy named Dana won for the men, with Bart in 2nd place, & madriverjack/Joe F tied for 3rd. Amanda won for women, Jeannine in 2nd, and Julie (Julia?) was 3rd. I don't remember the kids' stats.

if i'd known you were packing whoopie pies i would have stopped by. we had the whoopie pies from the cafe, they were good but i've had yours before and know they are WAY better.

i watched a few runs of the race from the chair or the sidelines. looks like everyone was having a great time.

You should know better! :D Thanks, though!

I didn't get to pay attention like I usually do since the kids were in tow. Also meant no pictures between them and the snow. But there was a pretty good turnout.

If I had more than a newbs opinion I'd love to share it :p

I did favor the red course over the blue however, on the red side there was a nice line following the kicker if you lined up the jump correct. Thanks for tolerating my snowboarding antics, I always have a blast with you guys ( just don't tell my boarded friends, I may lose some street cred:rolleyes:)

Good times! Sundown put on a great event, with plenty of support from Suburban Sports. :beer:

The course was pretty good, a few slick spots between bumps, but still fun. Very mellow too, anyone who is even a moderately competent skier had no excuse not to enter.

The final round for 18+ was Bart vs. Dana, which was a very close match. They threw synchronized Helis on the jump, but Bart bobbled a bit on the landing, which I think was the deciding factor to give the win to Dana.

Even though the jump was small I still only managed two weak ass dumper airs, Suburban was kind enough capture part of one...

LOL Johnnypoach somehow got that sign and stuck it in my backyard! Anyways the course was ok...Got a little icy in the troughs..Great to see bumpers from all over new england show up for this as it really adds credibility to the mogul cause.

Will there be a Round 2???
