Today, Sunday, January 15th, seems to be marking the first day of real, actual winter. Anyone driving up
515 in a car luxurious enough to have a thermometer on the dash saw that temps were hovering around 8 degrees Fahrenheit at 9am this morning. Snow was being blown throughout the night, so provided one had the
proper attire, today was one of the best days on hill so far. The sun shone throughout the day, and the guns were positioned at just the right locations so that
those advocating goggle free snowboarding didn't have to ride from feature to feature with their heads facing uphill. Although, such posture does allow for a crowd pleasing trick, the
switch regular ollie (said trick is found at the 1:19 mark).
In other news, the homies at
Burton were hooking it up with demos throughout the day, giving perspective customers the chance to test their new line of hardgoods.
The airbag is fully operational for guests to throw themselves into, critique, spectate, and stoke out. A new favorite of the hill is to just post up near the fence and watch the inverted insanity.
Here's some photos of today. Tomorrow will be firing.
