gunbarrel is up and running. its already good and will probably be sick by the time those guys finish this afternoon. Kinda walled up in places which makes for a bit of a mechanical bull ride but much fun, great spacing etc. the course is gonna be completely sick based on the lenght and they already have the spots set up for the kickers. Even without the actual kickers we were already airing them. Kinda fubar in the sense that there was a ton of people on it and you couldnt spot the landings but we were keeping an eye out for each other.

this should be an incredible spring run for us. I have some vid i'll get up and i think greg took some also.

My legs are so Fg spent right now. On my last run my ass was basically on the tails of my skis for the last 4 or 5 bumps at the bottom and I was just praying not to crash in epic fashion. Those lines got cut in pretty deep this afternoon. Huge change from the time I started around noon until I left at 4:00.

Trev was going huge off the jump areas! He consistantly threw down some nasty twisters and back scratchers. His skis were going well past the 90 degree point on those twisters.........look out Mondeo. Greg also had some nice Daffy's. He was calling them Spaffy's but they were a little too nice for that designation IMO.

Time for a whole bunch of vitiman I and a Sam Adams

Wow. Just sick. The run looked a lot different than 2knees' video by the time I quit at 4:15. Some man-eater troughs set up. just incredible. The run is fully skied in now. Sick zippers all over the place. 5 hours, non-stop. I'm spent. Great bumpin' everyone!

Missed ya today bud! Next time :)


Fantastic conditions today all around! Those bumps are sick.. the spacing between jumps and the first following bumps is nice :) Liking that a lot!

Anyhow, glad to ski with everyone.. excellent day all around..

My legs are spent..

Sad news: I lost my camera :( Small little thumb sized thing.. unclipped from my neck chain holder... too small to notice it missing.. and probably too darn small to notice anywhere :( http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/security/c308/ might buy another though.. freaking awesome little camera :)

Nice meeting all you guys today as well !

yeah, i figured what i left and what you guys left would be almost two completely different products.

man, some of those things were sending me BIG time into the back seat. that and the human slalom that was ever present. but that's so cool, there were 3x's as many people skiing the bumps as anything else today.

GREAT JOB SUNDOWN!!!!

Yeah, great day, it was worth driving down there :). Great vibes and rippin with a bunch of cools guys. Bump formation was fantastic, well spaced out. The bumps are totally skied in, big change (for the better) than what it was in the AM.

Hope to come back again.

Very very good day. I felt kinda bad showing up late for my afternoon commitment, but it was well worth it. Skied from around noon until just before 4. Thanks Sundown!

True dedication-- to head south in early March-- on a side note still bumming I couldn't rally the family for Vt yesterday-- but at least it cleared me for today. Thinking of 17 dollar lift tickets at snow on St. Patty's-- beartrap, jaws, ripcord--anyone up? My 7 yo wants beartrap-- good boy.
