Ben, Avi, and I enjoyed POWDER! Speaking of which, the weather reports POWDERING conditions ALL week for this weekend's snow session at Northstar!

My personal focus for this session was just jumps in-and-off the parks. My first run of the day was off Prosser on Lookout. With my 1080 Salomon Lab Race skis, I looked down the run which disappeared into the thick valley fog. While getting ready to go, there was some chap next to me who "looked" like a racer type. Well, it turned into a mini-olympics. Neck-to-neck down the run. I was bee-lining it so friggin' fast, I literally did the run in mere seconds. Now the air-time. There's a road that bisects the run. This road seriously makes a nice platform for some alladinization (rug-time air). CAUTION ROAD. Yep. The sensation of fast speeds, vertical lift, the sound of silence, is breath-taking but not-so breath-taking on accident, "oh, I'm off a ledge...". Being so focused on racing someone, I just forgot about the road and road sign. As I was snapping out-of-it in mid-air, I had to make a text-book style landing otherwise I would have smack into some trees as the trail curved to the left. Unforgettable and FUN.
