US Free Ski Contest

On Saturday I watched a few runs of the US Free Ski Contest at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. The run was north facing and firm and only softened up for the last of two final runs. It was interesting watching people ski the coral reef. A few people jump cliffs to find rock hard landings which lead to big wipe outs. Even after the temperatures warmed the landings still looked firm. After watching 4-5 skiers the runs became repetitious and I decided to take advantage of corn snow and session the half pipe.

At the end of the day the temperature hit 60 degrees and the Apre sceen was in full effect. We ended up hanging around the villiage with a group of 15 friends until well after 6pm. Light until 7pm helps extend the Apre party until it's too late for anything else.
