    Another Day on Donner Pass

    Here comes your next photo fix.

    It was -10C when we got out ot the car on friday morning. I guess I had read the review wrong. We had been hoping for a mild weather day and insted we got raging winds and freezing temperatures.
    But we were still out o have some fun with some good company, and we finally got to see the sun for a while in the afternoon, but the wind furry never let down its guard.

    It didn't take much, but we cleaned off one of the jumps we had built on sunday.

    Most of the day was spent trying to duck the unescapable wind.

    When the sun came out in the afternoon we decide to built a new kicker into a landing that was untracked. The lip turned out pretty big...

    We took some video too, just with the regular point and shoot, but you still get the idea.
    If there is a better way to post video on this forum could someone enlighten me! thanks.


    Hip jump of rock.


    360 Japan air off kicker.

    Hoping for more snow. I think we all are. Glad we have some jumps built though so when it does...

    Friday definatly turned out rad, from the looks, the temps, and almost getting blown off the side of the mountain the hype almost seemed non-existant but once we got into the swing of things it definatly turned out for the best. As for the new kicker, sick! perfect transition and nice long landing, once there is more snow it will really be time to get our huck on, the only thig will be that we'll want it to be bigger!

    Hey Condro, looks like a good time.. Nice photo's and vids... It'd be fun to hang with you guys sometime when I'm not riding with my wife, even if only to work on my camera work.. ;)

    Conditions are always a bit better a few days after the snow away from the resorts... And it does look like you guys have a nice playground built up around there. Definitely good times...

    Man I really want another day like this to come around. I could really deal with some fresh snow and some fresh tracks. But I have been taking care of a lot of other things at the moment so in a way it's good.

    Since I've been bored insted of board, check this out.
