Ski Day #2

I did more exploring the 2nd day on the mountain. The snow conditions are still not optimal. Today they had the qualifiers for the Chevy Grand Prix of Snowboard superpipe competition. It was pretty cool watching the best snowboards in the world riding the pipe. I'll try to post pictures later and video later. The best riders were getting 10-12' out of the 25' superpipe. Some people were doing 1260s as well. At night there was a rail-jam competition in town with many of the same snowboarders from the superpipe. They had a big staircase set up with three different rails. It was basically a best trick competition. The riders were doing all sorts of cool grinds, transfers and flips down the rails. I think the winning trick was a backflip down the stair set.
