So after seeing one triumph, these are my other jump attempts for the day… I hope I never have this form going off a jump again. They hurt on the landing. Thank goodness for the helmet, wrist guards and the knee pads! … Now if I only had a butt pad for these… I look like a cartoon character going off the ledge. Shoot.

The snow was absolutely fresh, and it was just perfect for the second weekend! — but it was COLD. The temp at base camp (5250 feet) was 15 degrees in the morning, and 13 degrees at 6600 feet. The high at base camp was a mere 18 degrees, and at 6600 feet, it only got up to 16 degrees!

To start, here are some pics of Simon’s doing some jumps with crazy air!
