Weather report

Today the weather was good but as the day went on the wind started coming in. The snow in the park and on the various slopes is really hard and on top of that all the landings are pretty flat – not a combo that makes you want to throw bigger tricks!

After my first couple of laps in the park I was happy to see Simon Ericson showed up. Now I dont have to ski all alone till monday when all the other guys are coming – stoked on that!

I did do one run with my helmetcam today, but unfortunately it had switched off before I dropped in, so the slope-style course preview was planing on uploading is gonna have to wait till tomorrow… sorry.

As a tease ill tell you what the setup was like today – not sure if it is going to remain like this for the comp but here it is…

1st hit – either a down-rail or a down-flat-down rail.

2nd hit – C box

3rd hit – 4-5 meter box with a 2 meter drop at the end.

4th hit – wallride?.. I didnt ski the wallride today because it was really hard to stop/speed-check on the super hard packed snow in the landing of it, which is also the in-run to the first jump.

5th hit – 13-15 meter jump

6th hit – 17-18 meter jump

7th hit – 15-16 meter jump

As I just mentioned all the landings are pretty flat and rock hard so I just did a bunch of 360s and sw 540s today, as did Simon. Ill probably start putting my run together tomorrow and do a run thru the park with the cam so you guys can see what it actually looks like.
